HADDRELL’S POINT TACKLE WEST ASHLEY is located at 47 S. Windermere Blvd. This store is stocked with everything that you will need to fish in the coastal and offshore waters around Charleston. They have a great selection of apparel for the outdoorsman or outdoorswomen. Dee Oliver and his staff have all the knowledge and experience to help you with all your fishing needs, as well as giving up to date fishing reports. Haddrell’s does the best rod and reel repair around. Scott reports offshore: A strong northeaster has moved in currently that will have most of our offshore fleet staying at the hill. This bad weather should allow the fish to be able to move up the east coast with little fishing pressure, and also hopefully stack up some bait offshore of SC. Bottom fishing is still going strong, I have tried it lately (70-110ft), with good reports of vermillions, triggers, black sea bass, and gag grouper. Inshore: Still seeing a solid topwater trout bite early in the mornings, with some quality size fish being caught. Reds continue to feed heavily right now, and can be found all over our estuaries including around docks, rock piles, feeder creek mouths, on the flats, and up in the grass on high water. Tarpon continue to be hooked-up around our inlets, with Bulls and North Edisto inlet Bay. Still hearing solid reports of flounder being found caught in shallow slews around our inlets. For more of Scott’s reports, check out their website (www.haddrellspoint.com).

At FOLLY ROAD TACKLE SHOP, they are hearing some good catches
of trout and flounder are up in the creeks and rivers and being
caught with mud minnows, shrimp and grubs. Tommy suggests you
fish early and late in the day because of the heat. Spot tail
bass are up the waterways and rivers and on the flats at high
tide. The spot tail bass can be caught on spoons, mud minnows
or mullet. Around the full moon the bream fishing should be excellent
in the local freshwater ponds and rivers using crickets and worms.

PERNELL’S TAXIDERMY INTERNATIONAL, (843) 688-6026,
would like to make some suggestions in finding the right taxidermist
for you. We recommend: visiting taxidermy shops and looking at
the quality of the work. Don’t pay much attention to the
fancy mounts in the showroom or the blue ribbons won from taxidermy
competitions on the wall. We have won many blue ribbons throughout
the years but these awards only mean that the taxidermist is capable
of producing a quality mount. What you really need to see is what
is going on behind closed doors. Our “closed doors”
are wide open to our customers. We will be glad to show you our
mounts in various stages of completion and will glad for you to
compare actual photographs with the completed mounts. These reference
photographs are used daily in our studio to reproduce the lifelike
expressions in our mounts. What you will observe will be not animals
that look “stuffed” but you will see realistic animal
artistry. Stop by and take a look. We are conveniently located
just three miles off I-26. Take exit 19 then head north and look
for our sign or give us a call. “Choosing the right taxidermist
is critical in having a mount that you can be proud of and having
one that will hold up over the years”.
