Weeeknd Report - Cape Romain

I had a couple of great days fishing the Cape Romain National Wildlife Refuge which lies between Myrtle Beach and Charleston, South Carolina. This undeveloped stretch of coastline is loaded with wildlife and is relatively unpressured by other fisherman which can make fore some excellent fishing.
Brent Groom and his son Evan from Myrtle Beach,  enjoyed a great day on the water despite temps in the mid 90's, the redfish were biting surprisingly well and most of the Redfish that came to the boat weighed between 5-10lbs. Brent and Evan live on a farm and brought me a whole summer's supply of fresh watermelons... I look forward to fishing with them again soon!
The next day I had the pleasure of fishing with McCarn Bennett and his father Robbie, long time family friends from Cheraw SC.  Although the fish went nearly as fired up as the day before, we got to tug on a few nice redfish and everyone enjoyed each others company and the surroundings of the Cape Romain National Wildlife Refuge.
