The 1st full(or new) moon in May should get things rolling. The low water allows the mud to heat up....which gets the worms all excited.

Can you fish the worm hatch in Ninigret from shore or do you need a boat or kayak?

I'm gonna try and get creative here but How about using that wooden Egg Rig that RIJIMMY mentioned in an earlier post, then take a 3" slim senko in a Red or a Rust color(largemouth baits) color the head black w/ a sharpie and cast it out there. Could work.
Let the Abuse begin.....

Most guys fish the back pond of Charleston by going through Ninigret Park to the fishing access section. This is sometimes refered to as the Narrows, and its a short walk from the parking lot. There are a couple places where the worms usually hatch and the bass come in to feed right around sunset usually. The only bad thing about this is that the park closes at dark and the gates are locked. Theres always a pretty big crowd there but the fishing is pretty consistent, just leave when everyone else leaves if youre worried about being locked in. As far as what fly to use, I've found that if you match the color and length you have the right fly, you dont have to make things complicated. From there you have to fish the fly the right speed and depth, usually slow and on the surface.

Hmm maybe something new to try this season. I don't fly fish but maybe small soft plastics would work.

DadF, thats my plan. I'll cast a cinder worm fly with the egg. From what I hear its frustating because there are so many worms, its tough to get the bass' attention.
I'm not sure if I'll make it this year, but I'm planning to give it a shot next year.
For more info, search past threads, I started one about 4 months ago and got some great advice on Ctown pond.

Thats what I'm thinking. Some senkos or some Hula Grubs may work well. I think I may take a ride some saturday and give this a shot.

At ninigret most of the bass are smaller, 20-32 inches is typical for size along with lots of hickory shad mixed in. Everyonce in a while youll get one 32-40"+. If theres a ton of worms around you can always try a bigger fly to imitate a squid or some other baitfish, which sometimes works.

If you work a Sluggo like crazy, it will get their attention. The more erratic the action the better. I like the 6'' but some other guys do well with the 3''.
My biggest fish so far at the hatch was 22 lbs. on 8 lb test.

i agree with scotch bonnet, i do the same thing to imitate sand eels. use a 3-6" slug-go unweighted on the surface and twitch the rod real fast while reeling slow, almost like working a PP. caught many keeper size fish doing this last year.

Also it's best to fish early in the hatch,when there are a ton of worms the get very very selective and can really p-ss you off,but it's still fun.
