Hooking up as soon as the line hits the water. Cant bait hooks fast enough! Thats a good problem to have! Excellent day with this group. Counted 40+ fish!

Fall is kicking off and this is one if the beat times to fish! Lets Go Fishing!

It's Tarpon time. We caught this guy right around lunchtime at mid tide today on live mullet! It put on quite a show and fought for an hour and fifty minutes, probably weighed around 100Lbs!

Inshore: Captain Patrick Kelly **hidden content**) reports that in September the tailing pattern for redfish should continue to be strong, but as the reds’ metabolism speeds up the low tide bite should get better and better. It was already getting very good at the beginning of the month, and fish were feeding on everything from shrimp to mud minnows to mullet to Gulp! baits around pretty much any structure including docks and creek mouths. As a bonus, very soon the fish that are starting out the month just under the slot will be keepers. The black drum fishing should also continue to improve on shrimp, and more trout will be caught as temperatures cool. 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 likely continue to prey on schools of mullet and menhaden all month. Overall, by the end of August and beginning of September the fishing was getting really good, and for the next two months it should be flat-out excellent.

Charter fishing in Folly Beach fishing has been good as some slightly cooler weather has seen water temps drop by a few degrees. We fished just off the beach recently and there were large schools of Mackerel and False Albacore mixed in with some big tackle busting Jack Crevalle. This is no surprise to me as late summer and early fall are typically a great time of year to go fishing in the low country. Big Bull Redfish are piling into the inlets and Jetties, False Albacore and Spanish Mackerel are chasing baits a mile off the beach, big sharks are lurking around the sandbars. Just inshore Flounder, Black Drum, Speckled Trout and keeper Redfish are feeding in our tidal rivers and creeks on live shrimp, mud minnows and all our favorite artificials by Z-Man. Bait is abundant so a few quick throws of the cast net and we have full live wells. There is a feeding frenzy that begins in September and continues through the end of the year. Shorter days and the sudden influx of bait signals to every fish that it’s time to eat as much as they can before the water cools down. Fishing charters in Charleston and our fishing charters in Folly Beach fill up quickly this time of year. Let’s get you out there to enjoy it with us! Call, text or book online. See you on deck!
