@KNOWITALL . I’m in Charleston, SC. Yes. Bream us kind of slang for sunfish, and bluegills. Beautiful, and tasty. We pan fry the cats. Like I said, they gotta be small. Eat them like corn on the cob.
Handfishing, or noodling, as it’s called here, is crazy. I would only yet it if I was lost and starving. It’s an excellent way to find a sleeping gator. I hear they aren’t fans of being poked… Lotsof people drown doing it too. People think we’re crazy floating down the Edisto. I’m pretty comfy with swimming in blackwater swamp. I won’t be testing my luck though by noodling…
We have some of the best Red Drum (Spot tail bass) fishing here in the low country. But it’s more difficult to fish saltwater, in my canoe. In fact, I wouldn’t recommend a canoe in saltwater. It’s dangerous. I also depend on the tides to help me get around, so I have to time things right. I go out in the Stono River a lot. I’m usually just enjoying the river. The dolphins feed a lot around sunset. They make me feel at ease when they are all around my canoe. Although the first one surprisesme each time. I’m not expecting such a large animal to surface right next to me. When the Sun is setting, the view is stunning. All the colors in the sky, and the water looks like you’re padding through liquid silver. Seagulls, brown pelicans, ospreys, sea turtles, and more. Being in a paddle powered vessel is a different experience than a motor boat. All the animals hang out with you. Those summer days floating quietly back to the landing when it’s almost dark are a magical time…
