Trip Summary

The Spring weather has set in and water temperatures are on the rise making the fishing outstanding. Todays water temperature was hovering right around 61 degrees. We have been finding the redfish still schooled up on the flats and around shallow structure all throughout the Charleston Harbor and surrounding rivers. They have started to break into their smaller Spring time schools, but are still easy to find since the water has been clear. Bait has started to flood into the creeks. You can find mullet, blue crab, glass minnows and other common baits seen on the flats relatively easily and the schooling reds are not far behind. Shrimp, cut mullet, and mud minnows under corks on a 2/0 circle hook have been the go to baits. If artificial is your game, be looking for the more natural colors such as the Zman minnowz or jerk shad in houdini or pinfish colors. Redfish toad has been working well in the more discolored water. Trout have started to show up as well. Be looking for them along steeper banks with structure. 7-12 feet has been the magic number for us. A slip cork is best with shrimp or mud minnows. Using these slip corks will allow you to adjust to the depth you need once you find where the trout are eating. In the artificial category, vudu shrimp under popping corks and Zman minnowz on a 1/4 oz Trout Eye have been working great. If you are able to venture out to the reefs, the sheephead bite has been on fire. They have been eating live shrimp and fiddlers dropped down to the bottom. Get a trip on the books with us ASAP if you want to get out in the creeks and on some fish!! We are booking up quick!
