Georgia fisherman on Miss Lia has good eating on the way with his big Dolphin caught off Fripp.
FRIPP HAS BEEN DISCOVERED AND SO HAS ITS BOATING AND FISHING Contributed by Captain Ralph Goodison
The last few years we have seen an explosion of new owners and guests to our beautiful island. Not only have they found it has a great beach, golf courses, tennis and pickleball, and great housing and amenities, but it also has a huge estuary behind Fripp and 1.6 million acres of the ACE Basin, one of the largest areas of undeveloped wetlands/ecosystems on the east coast. With all that we have great fishing, boating and nature at our back door. Yes we all have found out Fripp Island is a special place. Spring has brought us great fishing and as we move to summer our fishing is some of the best in the Carolina’s. We had a short soft-shell crab season and the important horseshoe crab season is on now and fishing is good. INSHORE: Fishing is good with catches of Blackdrum, Summer Trout, Whiting and Shark. Sheepshead are still here and Redfish are fair. Maxwell Bridge and Wardle’s Landing slowed a bit but Blackdrum, Whiting, Trout and Redfish. Spring Vol II 2022
