Fresh South Carolina Fishing Reports

summer small reds

Hot July fishing , with some days just catching smaller flounder and maybe a keeper or two , other days catching doormat flounder 4-8lbs and some Redfish up to 15lbs . Tough fishing some days and yet , some epic catches other days . Fall is more consistent , but booking a charter now should be booking an experience , not just going out and catching fish every time soley becuase if it was easy and no challenge there wouldn’t be any sense of awe nor accomplishment that happens when the fish do cooperate . We’ve seen dolphins this week in 2 feet of water, sea turtles and sharks , caught doible digit flounder most trips and had mumtiple redfish this week over 10lbs. Kinda sad when someone takes their first charter with me and they “just “ catch a handful of Flounder too short to keep and decide theyve had a bad day . They dont seem to take account nor take responsibility for the fish they miss, nor appreciate the beauty of the inlet , the water , the wildlife and the effort to provide them the best shot at catching the great fish that inhabit our inlet. Inshore fiahing in calm water for a shot at a nice lunch or dinner and maybe a trophy fish has kept me enthralled for almost 40 years . Love to share the experience with folks that understand “ fishing doesnt always mean keeping fish” but the experience should always be fun . Its been an up and down bite this week with some incredibly fun days with some great people .

The lake Hartwell fishing continues to be hot with yesterday's trip resulting in over 95 fish being caught by 9:30am with just 4 anglers.

We have been catching alot of quality redfish lately with some nice flounder mixed in!

The lady had the hand today! Let’s Go Fishing!!
