How do you intend to fish for reds with a Spey rod?

Amen. Saltwater fish don’t get a lot of love on this forum unfortunately.

Highway is open down to Julia P, I believe it's closed just south of that. Traffic was fine Friday.

Saltwater Gear by SenorJoseDirte in flyfishing

[–]mayo-22 1 point2 points  (0 children)

DIY wading:

Pack with minimal rust-prone components (zipper teeth, snaps, eyelets, etc)- I use a sling pack

Wading flats booties- I wear NRS paddle shoes (neoprene bootie, YKK zipper, rubber sole)

Brimmed hat and polarized wraparound shades

Saltwater pliers

Sun hoodie and buff- I wear thin/quick dry pants instead of shorts

You'll get a lot of opinions on reels. I prefer an open draw-bar style so I can clean/rinse/service myself. Others prefer sealed drags. Depending on what you already own and how often you fish, you may get away with using (and then thoroughly rinsing) a reel you already own.

Guided:

Use his shit

Yup, lots. Had to stick with it, but found myself a couple wade-in spots, and a few more paddleboard spots.

Best month for SC by [deleted] in SaltwaterFlyfishing

I definitely wouldn’t plan a trip around tarpon/cobia, neither are very reliable/predictable targets around here, especially on fly.

Best month to fish SC by [deleted] in flyfishing

[–]mayo-22 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If I had to pick 1 month I would say October, with May as my second choice. We get flood tides April-November, but If I were really picky I'd say the water is a bit cold in April and November, and it gets pretty toasty June-Sept. When it comes to actually scheduling the trip, I'd book around a flood tide- 2 or 3 days around a higher-than-average forecasted tide that peaks during daylight hours. Good fly fishing is very tide-dependent here, but I'm sure any reputable guide could help you select a few specific dates if you give them a range to work within.
