So I tried again in Tickfaw River to catch my first sac. Used a black/char hair jig with no luck.
The wife was on hauling in the bream pretty good so I switched to worms with no cork. Caught 20-25 bream. They were hitting the bait as soon as it touched the water.
Caught about 3 catfish and a pretty nice striped bass.
A day fishing is never a wasted day so I'll just keep on trying for sacs later on.
