January is the coldest month of the year, with average temperatures in the low 50s during the day. That doesn’t bother the local reef fish, though, who bite harder than ever this time of year.

Forget the February blues – Hit the local reefs and wrecks to land Black Seabass, Snapper, Amberjack, and more, or explore the shallows on the hunt for monster Redfish and Spotted Seatrout.

The spring season slowly gets going in March, with the first few King Mackerel showing up offshore. The reefs are still red hot, with Amberjack, Snapper, Grouper, Spadefish, and Seabass biting hard.

Don’t be an April fool – get out on the water for your chance to catch a huge range of tasty bottom fish! The inshore bite is just as good, with Spottail Bass, Spotted Seatrout, and Sheepshead.

The Cobia migration rolls into town, bringing amazing drift fishing with it. Shark season is officially underway, too, with Bulls, Bonnetheads, and Blacktips showing up in the shallows.

Bluewater anglers have been waiting all year for the start of Billfish season, and it’s finally here! Alongside Blue and White Marlin, you can expect great catches of Mahi Mahi and Wahoo offshore.

There are big fish in every depth of water in July. Marlin, Sailfish, Mahi Mahi, and more put deep sea enthusiasts through their paces while Tarpon strain both lines and wits in the shallows. Fish on!

This is your last chance to take on South Carolina’s Billfish. As if that wasn’t enough, huge numbers of Yellowfin Tuna explode onto the scene this time of year, making for endless bluewater fun.

Yellowfin Tuna get even better as the summer draws to a close. Inshore, Trout and Redfish are back on form and Sharks are still gnawing on big wire leaders in the shallows.

The big game battles of summer are almost over, but you can still find Yellowfin Tuna, Mahi Mahi, and even Sailfish offshore if you’re lucky. The inshore action’s as good as ever, so you won’t get bored!

Can’t face the thought of another turkey this year? Hit the reef and pull in some delicious Snapper or Amberjack instead! Kiawah River fishing is also fantastic, with big bull Reds, Trout, and more.

Head to Charleston for a variety seasonal events in December, or escape the crowds to spend your day battling big fish around the inlets and nearshore reefs. Happy holidays indeed!
