Just moved from Michigan. Fished tournaments for years. I would love to get back into it if any one has a back seat open around here let me know.

You're in some great bass fishing country from Savannah up to SC in the Bluffton / Hilton Head / Beaufort area. The best part is you don't need a boat.

 

There are literally thousands of lagoons (ponds) in that area and they all hold bass - and lot's of big 5-10+ pound bass. Where I used to live and fish in Bluffton, the average bass I pulled out was 2+ pounds and 4 and 5 pounders were common.

 

The only caveat is that you need to be smart out there because it is alligator country. Most alligators are not aggressive, but they will swim over to where you are fishing either to let you know who the boss is or to try and ****** something you catch.

 

But there are most definitely some alligators that are aggressive - and stealthy, so you need to pay attention when you are fishing. Below is a link to some information on fishing with gators:
