Red fish are biting

Water Temps are finally starting to warm up. The redfish are starting to bite a bit better and the bait is starting to show up in the creeks. We are keying in on small flats with clear water.

The entire Memorial Day weekend was action packed. Waters we calm and clear. The baitfish are schooled around every corner. Wes and his crew caught speckled trout in large numbers with his bachelor party group. Jason, Emily, and Colin also fished the weekend. We were in search for large black drum and large patroliing reds. Emily caught the biggest red in her life, while Jason burned up the drag on some stellar black drums. If you arent fishing yet this year your missing oit.

May in Charleston can be one of the best months of the year to fish. Big speckled trout, redfish, black drum, and so much of our inshore species are waking up! More and more 'finfish" baits like menhaden and mullet are showing up in the creeks and rivers surrounding Charleston. This gives anglers a chance to catch super aggressive speckled trout and redfish. The appearance of these bait fish triggers a feeding frenzy where fish feel like they "must" strike immediately. This is due to the cooler winter months of having no to little pray to feed on. In the spring these fish still have a competitive drive to feed as much and as quickly as they can in fear to losing out on a meal again. As we drift into early summer, June provides lots of action on bigger "bull" redfish and even sharks. Warmer water temps will drive Apex predator fish to deeper depths, giving anglers the chance to catch a monster. Come hop aboard and find out what it's like to bend a rod on these fantastic fish.
