Charleston, SC is fast becoming one of the southeast’s hottest Redfish destinations. With many miles of waterway flats and shallow water bays from the Historic Charleston Harbor to the Cape Romain National Wildlife Refuge, it’s a must do for shallow water anglers.

The marsh comes alive in the spring and summer with shrimp, mullet, crabs, menhaden and minnows supplying an endless food source for ...

Redfish. Also, Speckled Trout, Flounder, Sheepshead, along with seasonal Sharks and Tarpon are also available in the creeks, rivers, bays, and the front beaches feeding heavily on baitfish. The warmer months are great for sight fishing for “Tailing Redfish” on the shallow grass flats. These fish are nose down and tailing, feeding on crabs as the water rises and falls on the grass flats. Sunrise trips are also great for “crawlers”, Redfish in inches of water at low tide with their backs and tails exposed feeding aggressively during the first few hours of light.

Fall months are prime time for the lowcountry. The marsh is cooling off from the summer’s heat and the creeks and shallows are filled with bait. Excellent sight casting to Redfish at low tide as well as the flooded grass flats. Speckled Trout are abundant near creek mouths and oysters.

Winter is excellent for sight casting to large schools of Redfish in extremely clear water.
