Captain Todd Stamps left out from the IOP marina on 2/20 and headed to Capers Reef with Jason Watkins of Goat Island and Davis Hallman of the Lexington Chapter of CCA. Traveling through Dewees Inlet it was a calm ride through the nine miles of ocean to the reef which is 'right out in front' of Wild Dunes. Using a Penn Sargus 2000 reel spooled with 17-pound Fins braided line on a 7-foot Total Backcountry Slam rod, Stamps and company caught over fifty sheepshead (returning most to the ocean), some black sea bass and even a 22.5-inch redfish. They used fiddler crabs on a #1 Mustad hook that was attached via a snell knot to the six inches of 20-pound flourocarbon leader. Since the tide fluctuation was moderate, and 3/4-ounce weight was ample to get the fiddlers to the reef. They returned at 11 a.m. with some fish to clean before heading over to the S.C. CCA state convention.
