    Nearshore 5-15 miles there’s been a good push of keeper size sea bass. Many of the 50-70ft ledges and live bottom have been holding better size fish. Any kind of cut bait squid or fish on a double drop rig should produce. If your not looking to make a mess with cut bait, large artificials like gulp and fish bite grubs and curly tails on a 2 oz jig work well. Theres also some good sheepshead and black drum around the 3 mile reefs as well. Typically using fiddler crabs or cut shrimp on a 3/4-1oz jig head or Carolina rig will produce. On the jetties there’s some trout black drum sheepshead and redfish around the rocks. Floating some fresh dead or live shrimp on a slip cork should produce. If the small sheep heads keep stealing your bait try throwing some artificial shrimp or z man swim baits for the reds and trout. Clears, purples, and red flake work the best. In The back water creeks there’s still been some red fish, black drum, and trout. These fish right now are extremely spooky, and any kind of bait you throw needs to be presented slowly, but if you take your time, you may be rewarded with a monster fish. Mudminnows and shrimp on a jig head or throwing light artificial shrimp have had the best results. In the ICW there’s been a few smaller keeper size trout scattered around the shell banks, and creek mouths. A lot of these fish have pushed up the river and the best way to find them is to use your electronics if you slowly cruise up and down the waterway and you have a side scan unit, you can normally mark the schools by the dozens. mark the school, then start in fish

    Fishing has been great to kick off the year. The reds are schooled up inshore and the sheepshead have began to move out to the nearshore reefs. Offshore has never slowed down for bottom fishing. Black Sea bass are thick.

    The report in the last couple weeks is about the same. Once all the fish get in their winter time pattern it normally lasts until about March depending on the weather.

    With the temps dropping and the water clearing up, the redfish have schooled up really nice and the trout are on fire. I hope everyone has a wonderful Christmas and happy new year!

    Fall fishing has been absolutely incredible in the low country and its just getting better. The trout and feeding good and its increasing as the water temps keep dropping. Live shrimp is the best bait of choice under a popping cork. Fish are being reeled in left and right! Book your trip today before you miss the hot bite!

    On the near shore ledges 10-20miles out there are still some grouper around. Pin fish or pogies on a Standard grouper rig has seem to be the best. There’s still plenty of red snapper around as well. On the jetties Tight to the rocks there have been a few trout and smaller redfish on your typical slip corks using live shrimp. Also if you can find some fiddler crabs there’s a few sheepshead around as well. In The back water creeks there has still been some small red fish, flounder and trout back up in some of the potholes typically we’ve been using finger mullet live shrimp or artificial baits like voodoo and gulp on a jig head. In some of the deeper channels leading up to some of these holes there has been a good push of trout ranging from 13 inches to 22 inches using slip corks with live shrimp and fishing them down towards the bottom. Don’t be surprised if you hook some flounder and black drum as well while doing this. This trout bite should continue to get better. In the ICW there’s been Some black drum in the channels around structure. They’ve been biting dead or live shrimp on the Carolina rig on the bottom. Along the creek mouths and shell banks There is a good number of trout right now that are focusing on that scattered shell bottom and tight to the grass on the higher tides. Use your slip cork with a live shrimp and drift it down along these banks. This pattern should continue to get better as we get later into the fall as the trout start to migrate to our area.

    The fall inshore fishing is really heating up!The bull reds are staging at the inlets and jetties for their annual spawn and will readily take live or fresh cut mullet. The flats fishing has been great and will only get better as the mullet and shrimp begin to leave with the cooling water. The bait of choice has been live finger mullet. The speckled trout bite has been good on live shrimp and artificials. Look for the trout to really bunch up through November and December. The best fishing of the year is the next couple of months. Get out there!

Don’t be surprised if you end up catching a bunch of red snapper as well and always have a pitch rod ready just in case a Cobia shows up. On the nearshore reefs is been a little slow with a Flounder bite. It seems to be we are on an inshore transition on the flounder at the moment but that should change in the next couple weeks as another push a fish should go back out to the reef. On the jetties There is still a little bit of a bull red fish Bite going on, typically Two hours before or after high or low tide. The best bait has been live pogies if you can find them but they will eat small croakers and fresh dead pogies as well. Tight to the rocks there have been a few trout and smaller redfish on your typical slip corks using live shrimp.
