    Nok en god fisketur

    4 timers tur • 3 voksne

    Vi fisket med Patrick i slutten av april i regnet HELE DAGEN. Han holdt ut. Det var litt kjølig, men vi hadde det alle bra. Booket Patrick igjen 30. juni. Gud velsigne ham, han stod i vannet klar til å forlate brygga da vi ankom klokken 6 om morgenen for å unngå varmen. Vi hadde en god dag. Vi fanget middag til familien. Burde ha fanget mer, men vi var litt rusten og sakte til å sette kroken på flere napp. Flere slapp også av linen. MEN, igjen, vi hadde middag for kvelden. Fileter på grillen!! Fanget noen fine Redfish og noen veldig fine Speckled Trout. Jeg visste ikke at Speckled Trout kunne bli over 14". Hadde aldri fanget noen i den størrelsen som vi fanget den dagen. Å ja, hadde også et par Whiting-fileter til middag. Det var en god dag. Flott vær. Patrick er morsom, lett å snakke med, og holder krokene agnet og i vannet. Takk Patrick!!

    Tenåringenes favorittdel av ferieuka

    3-timers tur • 4 voksne

    Båten var vakker, Patrick var en flott kaptein, og vi hadde det generelt gøy. Den eldste ungen min fanget en stingray, og vi var nesten borti noen haier. Fisken bet ikke, eller de bet men vi klarte bare ikke å få dem opp. Kapteinen gjorde akkurat det han skulle – når vi ikke fikk napp, flyttet vi oss og prøvde et nytt sted, når vi mistet agnet la han raskt på nytt, han fikk øye på en stor hai og pekte den ut til oss og tok oss nærmere for en bedre titt, og han var lett å prate med, uten å snakke for mye. Jeg skulle ønske vi hadde fått mer fisk, men jeg skulle også ønske jeg hadde bestilt lengre tid. Vi kommer til å booke med ham igjen.

    Kaptein Patrick var fantastisk

    3-timers tur • 3 voksne

    Opplevelsen fra start til slutt var fantastisk. Kapteinen vår var kunnskapsrik og fikk oss til å føle oss velkomne og komfortable hele tiden. Han visste de beste stedene å ta oss til for best sjanse til å fange fisk, og det gjorde vi. Tok med sønnen min på hans 15-årsdag og han hadde det kjempegøy. Flott for en familieutflukt.

    En flott avslutning på sommeren vår

    3 Timers Ettermiddag Tur • 2 voksne • 1 barn

    Kaptein Patrick var fantastisk. Vi booket en tur over helgen rundt Labor Day, og det var en nydelig dag på vannet. Vi var komplette nybegynnere. Han viste oss hvordan vi skulle fange agn, hvordan vi skulle kaste linen og hvordan vi skulle dra inn fisken. Han kunne veldig mye om området og de beste stedene å finne fisk. Sønnen min og jeg hadde en vennskapelig konkurranse om hvem som kunne fange mest fisk, og jeg tror vi endte likt – men jeg fikk den største. Vi kommer tilbake neste gang vi befinner oss i Beaufort.

October Inshore Redfish, Trout & Flounde

Oct 1, 2026 • St. Helena Island
Inshore: Captain Patrick Kelly reports that in October fish will eat more and more, storing up reserves since they will eventually lose much of their bait supply as most shrimp and baitfish leave and crabs go into hibernation. Redfish should bite better and better on low and moving tides, and on very high tides they will continue to tail throughout October. Mud minnows, finger mullet, cut mullet, and shrimp are all good bait choices. Trout will be caught around the mouths of creeks in moving water, and shrimp under a popping cork should be hard to beat. Artificial lures like DOA shrimp can also be very effective. Flounder fishing should be good around structure on mud minnows and finger mullet, and there should also be some tripletail around for part of October. Black drum and sheepshead will also feed up more and more this month on shrimp and crabs around structure like fallen trees, and the bull red drum will eventually show up in area inlets and off the beaches.

Redfish Tailing & Tarpon on Mullet

Aug 27, 2026 • St. Helena Island
Inshore: Captain Patrick Kelly **hidden content**) reports that in September the tailing pattern for redfish should continue to be strong, but the lower tide bite should also get better and better. It was already good at the end of August, and fish were feeding on everything from shrimp to mud minnows to mullet to Gulp! baits around pretty much any structure including docks, oyster beds, and creek mouths. The black drum fishing should also continue to improve on shrimp, and more large trout will be caught as temperatures cool. Numbers were already strong at times during August. More keeper flounder should be caught on mud minnows and finger mullet, and migratory species like tripletail, bluefish and ladyfish should be around until temperatures cool. And the silver king, tarpon, will almost certainly continue to prey on schools of mullet and menhaden all month. Overall, by the end of August the fishing was getting really good, and for the next two months it should be flat-out excellent.

August 1 2026 Report

Aug 1, 2026 • St. Helena Island
Inshore: Captain Patrick Kelly **hidden content**) reports that in late July young-of-the-year redfish showed up in droves, which provide a ton of action for anglers and also indicate that it should be a good fall for fishing. Anglers can still pick up some bigger fish in the creeks, particularly around creek mouths with oyster beds, but in August targeting tailing fish on the flats may continue to be one of the best ways to find a bigger grade of fish. July also saw good catches of trout on live shrimp, and the trout should only get bigger this month as we approach the fall. While legal fish are still relatively uncommon there have been more flounder caught this year than usual, particularly around structure, and a few good ones. At the rocks they expect to continue to catch lots of black drum this month, and with fiddler crabs you can also catch numbers of sheepshead. Later in the month more big sheepshead should be landed if there is a little cooling. Migratory species like jacks, tripletail and tarpon should be around until the fall and, finally, don’t overlook sharks which can provide a ton of action for anglers.

Fishing and Celebrating 250 years of Fre

Jul 2, 2026 • St. Helena Island
Inshore: Captain Patrick Kelly **hidden content**) reports that in July tailing redfish can be found on good flood tides when they are in the short grass eating fiddler crabs, and on moving tides fishing live or cut bait in areas where they ambush prey is a good bet. There should also continue to be a good bite on lower tides around docks and other structure. The trout bite turned on late in June and should continue into July, and fish will be caught on both live bait and imitation shrimp drifted around grass lines and in front of shell beds in clean, moving water. Rock close to the ocean has also been a trout magnet. There should also continue to be a good topwater bite for multiple species early, and jack crevalle and tarpon showed up in late June and should be around until the fall. Flounder fishing can be good with live finger mullet, mud minnows, or soft plastics, especially close to the ocean. Sheepshead are also around inshore, but generally they are on the small to medium side. Finally, keep your eyes open for tripletail in the rivers – especially closer to the ocean.

June Lowcountry Fishing Report 2026

Jun 4, 2026 • St. Helena Island
Inshore: Captain Patrick Kelly **hidden content**) reports that June is an excellent month in Beaufort for a number of species, and even as air temperatures get hotter the fish typically still bite very well. A good year for cobia means the fishing is likely to extend into June in the Broad River, and fish should continue to be caught sight-casting with flies, lures, and live bait. Redfish can be found tailing at high tide on the main river grass flats where they are eating fiddler crabs, and at lower stages of the tide you can find them in deep holes surrounded by shallow water in the smaller creeks or around docks. Redfish will eat a wide variety of baits and lures. Trout can be caught this month fishing along grass lines at higher stages of the tide with live shrimp or mud minnows under a popping cork, and you will also pick up other species this way including bluefish, aerially exciting ladyfish, and more. Also, don’t overlook an early topwater bite for trout, reds, and sometimes other species. On the bottom around structure and creek mouths you can catch flounder with mud minnows, finger mullet, or artificial baits, while fishing fiddler crabs around docks and downed trees is a great way to pick up sheepshead and sometimes black drum. Finally, the inlets have delicious whiting that will take small pieces of shrimp and abundant sharks that will take cut bait.

Spring Report 2026

Apr 30, 2026 • St. Helena Island
Inshore: Captain Patrick Kelly **hidden content**) reports that as temperatures rise and even more bait starts to return in May the redfish should feed more regularly. The tailing activity at high tide should pick up as reds devour consistently available fiddler crabs, and fish should also eat better around the tide table in the creeks. If you can get live shrimp they are hard to beat, but finger mullet, small menhaden, mud minnows, and more will also catch redfish. Trout fishing should also pick up in the creeks and rivers, and both jigs and shrimp will catch fish – as well as finfish baits. Big roe trout will be in the main rivers to spawn. But the most exciting development in May is usually that the cobia return in numbers to the Broad River. Some were already caught in late April, and people will catch them both sight-fishing and anchoring baits on the bottom. Tripletail, bluefish, ladyfish, and other migratory species will also be around in ever-greater numbers during May, and the bigger flounder should continue to show up after starting to trickle back inshore during April. Finally, don’t overlook the sheepshead bite on fiddler crabs – especially before it gets very hot and patterns change.
