Fresh Fishing Reports from South Carolina

Trolling and bottom fishing

January 30, 2023

Went out on an eight hour trip January 29th. Started out bottom fishing with the black sea bass chewing. Red snapper moved in on us and we could catch anything but them. So we moved a few miles away and started back on sea bass, trigger, b liners, and grunts. Saw a king mackerel sky near us so we change gears and started trolling. Caught 1 king that weighed 34 pounds and had another one on but pulled off at the boat. Also caught several bonita too. Over all a very good day. Its is great fishing right now with an eight hour trip or more. Tight lines

Found some big boys!

January 28, 2023

Had a great day cbasing redfish using gulp ans zman lures. Found some big 24-26 inch redfish on light tackle

Sea Bass!

January 28, 2023

Limited out on Sea bass and got a bonus flounder! Bottom fishing is on fire right now.

Clear water and sight casting

January 26, 2023

Found a school of red fish in very clear water this morning! As the day warmed up, so did the fish. We caught these fish using artificial baits. Sight fishing can be so fun

We found a few redfish at high tide!

January 24, 2023

Today we fished the high out going tide. There is a new moon right now, which makes the tide swing very large. We were able to catch a handful of fish on the outgoing tide on knocker rigs, and then transitioned to sight fishing as the tide approached low. Low tide brought us 2 big schools which were very spooky. We did not catcg a fish out if the schools, but I bet we saw 100 redfish! All in all, a great day on the water.

Winter fishing is still a blast offshore

January 24, 2023

Some offshore blackfin tuna on spinning rods. Along with some tasty bottom fish as well!

Put sunscreen on first. Ware a sun protection shirt. Ware a hat, sun glasses. Take a bottle of water. Bring your camera. That is all you will need for a amazing adventure TIP YOUR CAPTAIN VERY WELL. Your life is in his hands. He will show you the ocean and what is in it, in a way you have never seen. This is a experience and memories you will always have. Enjoy ???????

The morning trip was great, it was perfect weather early in the day. Wear good water shoes because our feet got wet but you want to make sure you have secure footwear while reeling in the fish.

We didn’t fish in the inlet but just off the beach. I understand that November & December are best for inlet fishing.

If you are looking for an introduction to fishing for kids and families, take a quick shark trip in Hilton Head. The 3 hour tour is perfect for a family. it keeps the kids engaged the entire time. You'll head out and be plucking shark, croakers, whiting and so much more while learning about the local fishing. We have taken two trips now with our kids, and both times captain and crew have been so engaged with the children to create a wonderful fishing experience.
