Fresh Fishing Reports from Folly Island

Nearshore Reefs

June 3, 2025

Nearshore Reefs are fantastic right now! We're catching tons of Spade Fish and Cobia right now! It's amazing how hard the Spades fight! Pound for pound, one of the hardest fighting fish out there!

Good weather and great fishing

May 25, 2025

Ran a couple 4 hr trips recently and the bite has been good with a mix of small and large sharks and even a few big trophy class redfish caught recently too.

Monster sharks are here

April 16, 2025

The spring shark fishing is really heating up and the recent trips have been really good with multiple big sharks a trip being caught and multiple species too along with fish and rays on the lighter tackle.

Sharks sharks sharks!

April 3, 2025

The summer sharks are showing up now and the fishing is gonna get better and the fish bigger. We went 2/3 on the big sharks on the shark rods starting the trip off really well then some bad weather blew in and slowed the bite down. It was a beautiful sunset evening on the beach for most of the trip with a 5’3 and 4’9 shark being landed and the 4ftr put up a good fight and we thought it was a bigger fish. Im excited for the next few weeks because there will be some really good fishing trips.

Epic spring fishing

March 26, 2025

Yesterday the bite was hot we went 13/15 fifteen on bites with 7 sharks over 5ft 3 over 6 and 1 over 7’6!!! We caught 6 different species of sharks and rays and some whiting also. We fished 2-8 and took time getting set up so about 5 hrs of lines and it seemed like we were fighting fish most of that time. The bite slowed down and got cold so we called it a night and left with sore arms and smiling faces. It was a very good trip.

The spring bite is about to be on fire

March 24, 2025

We fished a a 4 hrpm trip on sunday and the bite was really good. The goal was to get on the rays and we were able to land 4 nice size Rays and Sharks and lost 4 others. The shark was about 6’5ft and was a sand tiger, one of the fish we lossed were also sand tigers and the others were likely cownose rays. The cow nose rays should be around for a week or two and they are a lot of fun and add action tonthe sahrk trips. Th shark is not pictured because the picture wasnt on my phone. If you are thinking of going now is a good time to fish and it will be as good or better for next 2 months

Plenty of fish in the area. Know the tides before choosing your charter times. Wear sun protection all the time really, but critical in the SC summer. Stay hydrated and positive, it leads to less drama and more fun.

Fishing from the pier is good the pier is inexpensive and beautiful but doesn’t compare to the size, qty, and variety of fish this charter brought. We caught more and bigger fish in 4 hours than we did in 12 hours on the pier. Also using live bait will yield more fish. But the guide is the thing biggest difference.

Captain Doug was amazing and our kids had an amazing time. We were on 5 different kinds of fish and he helped my daughter hook onto multiple fish... We had a great time and would recommend this for everyone

Water is still a little too cold for fish to be moving actively, but you can still get some with patience.

Drumroll Fishing Charters – Folly Beach

I would recommend people fishing here for the first time to book a Charter with Captain Jeff and Drumroll charters. He has fished here all his life and he knows the waters. I personally like beach and ocean fishing, but the Captain knows how to fish in the rivers and lakes as well. So the short answer is, Yes I would recommend people fish the Folly beach area for there first time.

The weather was great, and the intercoastal waterway that Folly River is was calm. The Captain knew the bathymetry and got on some sweet spots.

I am saying our trip was great. We were at the end of a front that came through so we had perfect weather.
