Trip Summary
May in Charleston can be one of the best months of the year to fish. Big speckled trout, redfish, black drum, and so much of our inshore species are waking up! More and more 'finfish" baits like menhaden and mullet are showing up in the creeks and rivers surrounding Charleston. This gives anglers a chance to catch super aggressive speckled trout and redfish. The appearance of these bait fish triggers a feeding frenzy where fish feel like they "must" strike immediately. This is due to the cooler winter months of having no to little pray to feed on. In the spring these fish still have a competitive drive to feed as much and as quickly as they can in fear to losing out on a meal again. As we drift into early summer, June provides lots of action on bigger "bull" redfish and even sharks. Warmer water temps will drive Apex predator fish to deeper depths, giving anglers the chance to catch a monster. Come hop aboard and find out what it's like to bend a rod on these fantastic fish.
