The lowcountry air has been very humid, making the days that much colder this winter. Keeping everything in perspective, our winter days in Charleston are nothing compared to some fish lover regions of this country. That said, anything below 50 degrees with wind will bite, and it has been biting as much as the fish.
February marks one of the most exciting times for Charleston county as the Southeastern Wildlife Expo (SEWE) brings much attention to our outdoor culture, from artwork to zoology. The expo simply paints the picture of our southern deviance towards nature. And, although it was cold, wet, and windy… the crowd was abundant and anticipation of spring was in the air.
Having SEWE pass us by in a fury, the saltwater is on the brain… especially while working a day job with a blue sky above. It’s all worth while because the 20th of march is coming fast (first day of Spring) and flinging those hooks in the water is not too far off.
So what are you doing with your Spring break? I’m personally awaiting the Belize waters with a trip to Belize River Lodge in April. Here I come seaweed! Ready to strip my fly through you to catch that big gun.
