Thanks, Jeff.
When you get around Augusta, hunt up the area known as, "Deep Step." This backwater off the Savannah River is responsible for some big fish. Troy, here on BBG, catches some huge fish outta there. Im sure you've marveled at some of the whoppers he hauls out.
Phinizy Swamp in South Augusta, is also a good spot for some backwater brim bustin'. But you have to be careful there - people have gone missing in that place!
Yep Jeff, I always have one, too... at least one.
Here in SC, you are only supposed to have two fishing outfits in the water at any one time, when fishing from the bank. In a boat you can have as many as you want, but I'm boatless. So for the time being, this limitation is relevant.
Remember, you cannot be fishing with more than two. That's the law, anyway.
So when I'm bank crawling, I always have my two "ready rigs"- light weight spin and/or spin-cast setups. But I always carry two retracted telescoping poles along with me. One is 10 or 13 ft, the other is long at 15 ft.
These two are ready strung, as well, but closed up so they are not officially "in use." When I find just the right spot, like under some overhanging bushes or around a big river snag, I close down the spin rigs and put them behind me, out of reach. Then I haul out the "reach in an get 'em rigs" - those telescoping poles!
Sometimes, I do a good bit of this swapping in the course of a fishing day. Other days, not so much.
To date, I have had several meetings with area fish and game folks, doing license checks and so on. I have not had even one of them make a comment about the poles. So, I always have at least one.
