The Spring weather has set in and water temperatures are on the rise making the fishing outstanding. Todays water temperature was hovering right around 61 degrees. We have been finding the redfish still schooled up on the flats and around shallow structure all throughout the Charleston Harbor and surrounding rivers. They have started to break into their smaller Spring time schools, but are still easy to find since the water has been clear. Bait has started to flood into the creeks. You can find mullet, blue crab, glass minnows and other common baits seen on the flats relatively easily and the schooling reds are not far behind. Shrimp, cut mullet, and mud minnows under corks on a 2/0 circle hook have been the go to baits. If artificial is your game, be looking for the more natural colors such as the Zman minnowz or jerk shad in houdini or pinfish colors. Redfish toad has been working well in the more discolored water. Trout have started to show up as well. Be looking for them along steeper banks with structure. 7-12 feet has been the magic number for us. A slip cork is best with shrimp or mud minnows. Using these slip corks will allow you to adjust to the depth you need once you find where the trout are eating. In the artificial category, vudu shrimp under popping corks and Zman minnowz on a 1/4 oz Trout Eye have been working great. If you are able to venture out to the reefs, the sheephead bite has been on fire. They have been eating live shrimp and fiddlers dropped down to the bottom. Get a trip on the books with us ASAP if you want to get out in the creeks and on some fish!! We are booking up quick!

March 5, 2024 Report Warmer days are finally here and the fishing continues to get better. The water temperature is hovering right around 56 degrees and the fish are loving it. We are primarily focused on schools of Redfish in the shallow water flats. You can locate them much easier this time of the year as they will typically be in schools of 25 or more and the clear water makes spotting them very easy. Mixed in with these schools of redfish you can find black drum. They put on a great fight and are delicious fried. Both these fish are chomping on live shrimp under slip corks. You can find these shrimp in the deep hole areas of the Charleston Harbor or the local tackle shop. If live bait is not your thing, we are catching plenty of fish on artificials as well. Our go to is a zman jerk shad or paddle tail in the Dark N’ Stormy or Fried Chicken colors. Trout are starting to show up in their normal spring time patterns. You can find them around shell banks and other structure in 5-9 feet. Target them with live shrimp and popping corks. They will also hit the same type of artificials as the redfish on the flats, however; you will want to move them more sporadically to engage the reaction bite from the trout. The weather will only continue to get warmer and the fish will fully transition into their spring time patterns. Give us a call to get on the water! We will teach you and your group the techniques we use in order to be successfull!

There are two different theories behind the whole “No Bananas” on the boat. Be sure to ask about those theories when you book your charter!! The whole myth behind the bananas on board did not matter for thos bachelor group! They still managed to get on a variety of fish! Book asap! Winter time is probably the best time to fish inshore in Charleston!

When its warm in the winter time, these redfish get super happy!! They stacked in large schools and spend their days lurking on the flats and eating crabs, shrimp, etc. These gentlemen came all the way from Michigan to escape the true artic temps and get on some fish! Awesome group and awesome day!!

Wonderful day with a father/son/daughter trio!! The weather was a warm 65 degrees in February!! Can not beat the sun being out making everything visible in the shallow water flats of our esturaries. The fish are schooled up tight and eating live bait as well as select artificials. Stopped counting at 20. We graduated from not wanting to be near the fish all the way to actually holding one on this charter!!!
