A bill to reauthorize the S.C. Conservation Bank – which has protected almost 160,000 acres of wildlife habitat and historic places – for another five years, has passed its final Senate hurdle and has been sent to Gov. Nikki Haley for her signature.Although she supported the bank as a legislator, the S.C. Camo Coalition is taking no chances on a possible change of heart and has launched a campaign to have supporters contact the governor and urge her to sign the bill into law.
“Thanks to the support of many of you, a bill to reauthorize the S.C. Conservation Bank for...

Mount Pleasant team wins Fillin' Station cobia tournament
- When Cara Simpson and Bubba Bryan of Mount Pleasant set out on the Jenny Jeanne to fish the Broad River before daylight on the morning of May 5, they had one thing on their minds: winning the Fillin' Station cobia tournament.
Simpson and Bryan are no strangers to big cobia; their lines were in the water at 6:30, giving them plenty of time to catch the big one before the 6 p.m. weigh-in deadline. The action that morning was fast, but they had trouble closing the deal, at least until around 11.
Back-trolling over brush piles producing Lake Wateree crappie
- The crappie fishing at Lake Wateree is hot this month, and Buster Rush of Rush Guide Service said back-trolling jigs over brush piles is a great technique to put these fish in the boat.
Deer harvest up 1.2 percent, SCDNR reports
- The 2011 deer harvest in South Carolina may have not made a big jump, but sometimes even a small step can be good. Overall, there was a slight increase in harvest in the 2011 season and the prospects for the 2012 season are also good.
According to Charles Ruth, deer and turkey project supervisor for the South Carolina Department of Natural Resources, the harvest figures are encouraging and are representative of a stable deer population across the state.
State House sends hog/coyote/armadillo bill to Senate
- The South Carolina House has declared war on wild hogs, coyotes and armadillos, and a Senate committee is considering doing the same.
Given third reading in the House, the bill, introduced by Rep. Phillip Lowe (R-Florence) was delivered to the Senate ahead of the May 1 deadline for crossover legislation and could be passed into law this session if the Senate Fish, Game and Forestry Committee acts before its scheduled adjournment in June.Must Read
Calling Calibogue Cobia
One of the most-anticipated events for fisherman in the Lowcountry is the annual spring cobia migration. Cobia start to show up in mid-April and hang around through most of June. May is undoubtedly the most-productive month; Hilton Head Island is literally surrounded by cobia in the Calibogue Sound to the west and the Port Royal Sound and Broad River to the north and east.
Of those waters, the Calibogue Sound receives the least attention from anglers.
It’s a sound idea to target the spring run of these great fish in the waters that separate Hilton Head Island from the mainland.
One of the most-anticipated events for fisherman in the Lowcountry is the annual spring cobia migration. Cobia start to show up in mid-April and hang around through most of June. May is undoubtedly the most-productive month; Hilton Head Island is literally surrounded by cobia in the Calibogue Sound to the west and the Port Royal Sound and Broad River to the north and east.
Of those waters, the Calibogue Sound receives the least attention from anglers. "Cobia fishing is often overlooked in the Calibogue Sound, but I can assure you there is a great fishery for cobia," said Capt. Brian Vaughn of Hilton Head. "As long as there is a broad entrance to the ocean like the Calibogue has and a good influx of baitfish, there should be plenty of cobia migrating in — just like they do in the Port Royal Sound and Broad River."
Anchoring and chumming are the most productive ways to take Calibogue Sound cobia. Vaughn likes set up where sandbars and riplines form, especially at the entrance to the sound. For him, it’s all about how cobia relate to bait.
"Cobia tend to ambush prey as it comes over the shallow sandbars,...
