Charleston Sport Fishing
Redfish, Seatrout, and Flounder are Biting!
April 1st, 2010
Now that the cold days of winter are behind us, the water is warming up and so is the fishing! This last week I have been catching good numbers of redfish from 2lbs to 15lbs, seatrout to 3lbs, and even a few flounder in the 3lb range. Soon baitfish will be swarming the creeks and spring will be bring all the summer species back to the Charleston waters! Can’t wait!

Winter Redfish Schooling on the Flats 1/27/10
January 29th, 2010
Redfish have gathered on the flats and edges of the waterway in large schools to take advantage of the warmer shallower water. They are are eagerly taking mud minnows, cut mullet, and various artificials. It’s a great time to sightfish for the reds and I am running a winter special for $300.00 for 3 hours for up to 4 anglers!

April 10th Redfish bite is ON!!
April 21st, 2009
On april 10th the weather didn’t look very favorable for fishing. The wind was blowing about 25 knots out of the northwest wipping up the waterway into a chocolate 2 foot chop. Originally the trip booked by Joe Ryan and his soon to be father-in-law was to fish the close wrecks offshore for sheepsheadand other bottom fish. That morning we decided that an inshore fishing trip was the only possible option. We started fishing with an extremely high tide, high wind and very little clean water. This combination didn’t help produce any bites. As the morning progressed, the tide dropped and the water clarity improved increasing hope for at least a fish or two. Four hours of casting live shrimp and moving from spot to spot had produced nothing! Looking at the sour faces of my clients I new I had to find some fish in the few short hours I had left. My next move was to fish some docks that had been holding fish at low tide. My first dock paid off! We immediately started catching redfish one after another in the 2 to 5 pound range. Over the next 2 hours we caught over 30 redfish, a half dozen black drum up to 6 pounds, and a few nice trout. I was glad I was able to put the guys on some fish and make a great trip out of a bad weather day.

March Inshore Report: Seatrout and Reds are Biting!!
March 16th, 2009
Redfish schools are still on the flats and they are also beginning to gather on structures such as docks and oyster bars. They are biting on artificials and live baits. Seatrout are beginning to get active now that the water temperature has increased with the warm spring days.
D.O.A. shrimp are particularly effective and live minnows, finger mullet, and shrimp will always get the bites!
