Have a buddy that moved to Hilton Head and he has access to a boat, but doesn't know beans about fishing. I know some beans about fishing; freshwater fishing! Honestly though, the more I saltwater fish, the more I'm interested. I just don't know what will be biting mid-October. I'm sure we'll stay in shore and fish the salt marshes, creeks and bays and not venture out into the open ocean. Assuming we'll try and get some shrimp and maybe some type of baitfish (mud minnows, etc...). Since he's going to be living there, I want to really begin learning about baits, techniques and fish. Think we're gonna see if we can get any pompano on the beach and sheepshead and trout on the boat, just because I know how to catch those and roughly where they should be. Flounder? I think it's a good season to catch them, but they might be out of season as far as keeping them.
