March 5, 2024 Report Warmer days are finally here and the fishing continues to get better. The water temperature is hovering right around 56 degrees and the fish are loving it. We are primarily focused on schools of Redfish in the shallow water flats. You can locate them much easier this time of the year as they will typically be in schools of 25 or more and the clear water makes spotting them very easy. Mixed in with these schools of redfish you can find black drum. They put on a great fight and are delicious fried. Both these fish are chomping on live shrimp under slip corks. You can find these shrimp in the deep hole areas of the Charleston Harbor or the local tackle shop. If live bait is not your thing, we are catching plenty of fish on artificials as well. Our go to is a zman jerk shad or paddle tail in the Dark N’ Stormy or Fried Chicken colors. Trout are starting to show up in their normal spring time patterns. You can find them around shell banks and other structure in 5-9 feet. Target them with live shrimp and popping corks. They will also hit the same type of artificials as the redfish on the flats, however; you will want to move them more sporadically to engage the reaction bite from the trout. The weather will only continue to get warmer and the fish will fully transition into their spring time patterns. Give us a call to get on the water! We will teach you and your group the techniques we use in order to be successfull!
