サウスカロライナ州 ヒラメ 釣りチャーター

Flounder are prized Flatfish known for tasty fillets and sneaky ambush strikes. South Carolina’s salt marshes, tidal creeks, and surf lines make a perfect home for Southern Flounder, plus visiting Summer and Gulf Flounder. Strong tides push bait fish across oyster bars and docks, which draws Flounder tight to structure.

Most anglers target them with inshore fishing on light tackle. Popular methods include bottom fishing live mullet or mud minnows, slow-drifting baits along creek mouths, and jigging soft plastics near drop-offs. Jigging means lifting and lowering a lure to trigger a strike. Some areas also allow gigging, a type of spearfishing after dark, when Flounder lie still on the flats.

Charter trips usually run half day and stay in protected waters. Rides are short, the action is steady, and the gear is simple, which is great for families and first-timers. Captains provide rods, tackle, and bait, and will clean your catch. Bring sun protection, a hat, drinks, and a small cooler for fillets. Tides matter here, so expect early starts or trips timed to moving water.

Productive areas include the Lowcountry marshes around Beaufort, Hilton Head, and Edisto, plus Charleston Harbor’s jetties and creek systems. Farther north, Murrells Inlet, Winyah Bay in Georgetown, the Grand Strand, and Little River offer classic grass flats, oyster edges, and inlet channels. Surf zones along barrier islands can also produce when bait schools run the beach.

Before you go, check South Carolina’s fishing license, permit, season, and harvest rules for Flounder. Regulations can change, and gigging may have special restrictions or seasonal closures in some areas. Your captain can explain current rules, but it’s best to review them yourself ahead of time.
