Pinckney Island National Wildlife Refuge

Pinckney Island, located between Hilton Head Island and Bluffton, SC, attracts over a quarter of a million visitors each year. This easily accessible island offers a range of wildlife-dependent activities, including hiking, biking, and wildlife watching. If you're a fan of fishing, you ll be happy to know that saltwater fishing is permitted in the surrounding waters. And for those interested in hunting, there is an annual one-day deer hunt held in the fall.

The Refuge offers a variety of opportunities to explore and enjoy the great outdoors from sunrise to sunset. You can hike, bicycle, observe wildlife, take pictures or go saltwater fishing.

Pinckney Island is a crucial stop along the Atlantic Flyway for thousands of migratory birds each year. This sanctuary is not only a haven for these feathered travelers, but also serves as a rookery for colonial wading birds like ibis, egrets, and herons. In addition to protecting birds and other wildlife from disturbance, a "no dogs" policy is in place. www.fws.gov/refuge/pinckney-island.

Wrens

By Kathleen McMenamin Vicars, Master Naturalist

owcountry marshes are vibrant places in spring and summer. The beautiful bubbly song of the Marsh Wren adds to the majestic nature of our environment. Keep an eye — and an ear — out for these abundant small marsh birds.

Marsh Wrens, Cistothorus palustris, are small brown-and-yellow birds with thin bills, a dark cap and white eye lines that tend to hold their tails upright, much like the common Carolina Wren. Weighing up to .5 ounces and growing up to five inches long, they make short flights throughout our Lowcountry marshes, but are more commonly seen jumping through the grass tips, as they maintain their territory and care for their young.

Spread throughout most of North America, Marsh Wrens are usually found in freshwater, saltwater and brackish marshes. Considered migratory throughout the majority of the United States, they can be found in our area year-round. Marsh Wrens are most notable from March to August, due to their high frequency of vocalizations, which coincides with their breeding season. Although still in our area during the fall and winter months, they are much less noticeable.

These small birds are very active foragers. Their main diet consists of insects of all kinds, including larvae, spiders and snails. They forage in dense growths of spartina grass (marsh grass) for insects that cling to the stalks, and also catch prey in the air with short, fast flights over the surface of the water.

At the beginning of the breeding season, a male declares his territory through song. He then continues to defend his territory by singing at rival males. To lower the competition, males poke holes in the eggs of other wrens, as well as other varietal bird

species. Within his territory, a male may build up to 20 different nests — oval-shaped baskets made out of dead wet grasses, woven into the tops of the marsh grass. These nests usually have a side-door entrance for camouflage and efficiency. Very few of the nests will be used to rear young, but often stand as decoys for predators, or used by adults during non-nesting seasons.

A male wren sings to entice females into his territory. Marsh Wrens are not monogamous and may have two or more partners at a time. Upon a female’s arrival, the male will show her each of the nests within his range. A female chooses a male after accessing his territory, nests and the competition of other females. She then selects her favorite nest and lines it with grass, plant down and feathers.

After laying four to five brown-speckled eggs, the female incubates the eggs for up to 16 days. Once hatched, both parents forage to feed the young. After another 16 days, the newly hatched chicks leave the nest. A single female will have up to two broods a year.

Marsh Wren numbers have been increasing since 1966. They are considered a species of little concern, other than within the state of Michigan. They can be highly affected by habitat destruction due to pollution or construction. Maintaining marsh habitats is vital for their survival and these birds will happily inhabit restored wetlands.

In pursuit of the KING MACKEREL

Article by Captain Miles Altman, Bay Runner Fishing Charters

One of the most awesome sights on the ocean is a free-jumping king mackerel, often referred to as a “skyrocket.” These shiny silver missiles easily reach heights of fifteen to twenty feet above the water. Often, they will skyrocket on live or trolled bait, eating around even the most clever double-hook rigs or treble hooks, and leaving anglers shaking their heads in amazement.

June’s warmer waters call to the kings, as they are teaming with menhaden you can see right off the beach. Spanish mackerel, the kings’ smaller cousins, also run the coast in large schools, and are one of the kings’ favorite meals. These schools of Spanish close to shore draw the Smokers — king mackerel thirty pounds and up — much to the delight of fishermen with smaller boats.

for the fight but light enough to fool this wily creature. Kings have excellent eyesight, and the lighter the leader, the better your chances. Occasionally, however, I have lost a monster king (50 pounds+) when it cut through my light wire like butter.

Smaller kings called “snakes,” typically fifteen pounds or less, are usually found offshore in larger schools. Here, “bump” trolling is a favored method: live baits are pulled slowly across the fishing grounds, the motor taken out of gear from time to time so as not to put too much pressure on the live menhaden or small fish. Kings can also be caught trolling top-water baits or down deep using planers or heavy leads.

No matter how you go about it, the hunt for these silver torpedoes is hard to beat for a tackle-busting good time!

When not “skyrocketing” on the bait, the strike of the king can be bone jarring. What follows next are long, searing runs that test the best of tackle. I recommend medium to heavy gear with 30-50 pound braid, with at least a couple of hundred yards. Even then, be prepared to hoist the anchor and give chase!

Still, seasoned anglers grapple with striking the right balance of tackle heavy enough

Capt. Miles Altman of Bay Runner Fishing Charters has more than 50 years experience fishing the waters surrounding Hilton Head Island. Don’t miss the new Finatic boat, which can accommodate up to 12 passengers and features a special three-hour shark/dolphin eco-tour trip. Contact Miles at (843) 290-6955 to book an inshore or offshore charter fishing trip, departing from Shelter Cove Marina.
