{Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} Re: Mid-March Saltwater?

I would check out North Myrtle Beach. The last two years my fiance and I have gone down there and fished with Mark Dickson of shallow minded fishing. http://www.fishmyrtlebeach.com/ hes a great guide and has put on big reds with live bait and spinning rods the last two years. We always go in mid march because it was spring break in grad school so I can tell you this time of year there are fish. I know he has a 9wt fly rod he also uses but it depends on the bite, two years ago he was calling shots for me at fish with the fly rod but last year the conditions weren't right. If you've never caught redfish they are BULLDOGS and awesome fun to fish no matter what you catch them on. You can definitely kayak inshore and find those fish also in that area, just bring a buff for your face cause sometimes there are little black flies that can get really irritating.

Good luck.

This is what I'm looking for. I can load up the kayaks for the trip, too. I don't think I want to drive the truck with the center console down there (rather sip gas in the Prius), plus my boat usually has a hard time getting around in the flats - a bit much draft. Any recommendations on fly guides down there?

I would check out Charleston. Mid-February through March usually has large schools of redfish in Charleston Harbor and the marshes surrounding that area. It is perfect for flyfishing because you are sight casting to large schools that are feeding heavily. You have to have a boat or hire a guide though.

The lady has a short break from med school in mid-March and wants to go to the beach. I figure it is a good time to get some time on the saltwater. I haven't done a whole lot of saltwater fly fishing, and non this early in the year. 

Searching the forum was pretty fruitless, so anyone have any suggestions on where we might go that I could find some fish? I think we're looking at no more than an 8 hour drive - somewhere between Cape May and Savannah.
