What’s biting in South Carolina
For Striped Bass fans, Lake Hartwell is a productive spot to go to in January. Striped Bass. Tidal Redfish are excellent targets inshore, while big Bluefins can be caught in the Gulf Stream.
It's still Bluefin season offshore! Along the coast, the waters should be clear, meaning sight fishing is an excellent option. If you're a Catfish fan, you'll want to target giant Blue Catfish that love this weather.
This is the month Crappie anglers have been waiting for in South Carolina. The water is still clear in the shallows so sneaking up on large schools of Redfish is very productive. Try poling for extra stealth!
Spanish Mackerel and Cobia start moving into the waters of South Carolina in force during April. For freshwater fishermen, Largemouth Bass action is all the rage during April.
Cobia action gets serious during May, especially in the area around Beaufort. They like structures, so keep an eye on things like bridge supports, buoys, or clusters of seaweed.
Redfish extravaganza! As the waters warm up, Redfish start hunting in earnest, so this is the perfect time to go after some Bulls in the lowcountry. Mahi Mahi start moving offshore, too, making for interesting targets.
The Silver Kings take court in July, especially in the lowcountry waters. Offshore, you'll get to chase after Blue Marlin, White Marlin, Sailfish, and Mahi, while bottom fishing is also as productive as always.
Offshore anglers can have a ton of fun going after Spanish and King Mackerel. They'll be moving in schools, so if you've found one, you've found many. You can find them just a few miles off the coast.
On the mainland, freshwater anglers can look forward to some refreshing Redeye Bass action on the Chattooga River. In the Gulf Stream, you can expect the Yellowfin Tuna bite to start picking up.
The colder weather allows for inshore and backwater fishing to get intense during October. Redfish, Flounder, and Spotted Seatrout are all great targets for sight fishing, as the waters are much clearer than in warmer months.
Redfish are still champions of the catch list during this month. The marshes and tidal creeks make for good fishing grounds. Freshwater is all about schools of Striped Bass at Lake Moultrie, creating major excitement.
Inshore, Spotted Seatrout fishing turns from the fall feeding frenzy into a precision procedure – the right choice of bait and presentation makes or breaks the attempt. Offshore, the Bluefin Tuna season kicks off.
