Anglers may anchor or drift over known reef and wreck sites, presenting their baits near the ocean floor to entice strikes from red snapper.
Red snapper fishing in Mount Pleasant is typically most productive during the warmer months, from late spring through early fall, when these fish are more active and abundant in the area's offshore waters.

In Mount Pleasant, red snapper seasons provide anglers with specific periods of the year to target these prized bottom-dwelling fish. The peak seasons for red snapper fishing typically coincide with the warmer months, from late spring through early fall, when these fish are more active and abundant in the offshore waters. During this time, red snapper migrate closer to the coast and inhabit the reefs, wrecks, and artificial structures found in the area.
Late spring and early summer are particularly productive seasons for red snapper fishing in Mount Pleasant.

While late spring and early summer are considered peak seasons for red snapper fishing in Mount Pleasant, these fish can be caught year-round with the right techniques and local knowledge.

What techniques are popular for catching red snapper in Mount Pleasant?

One effective method is bottom fishing, where anglers use heavy tackle and large baits such as squid, cut bait, or small fish to entice strikes from red snapper.

By presenting their baits near the ocean floor and allowing them to drift naturally with the currents, anglers can increase their chances of hooking into these elusive fish.

Anglers use heavy jigs with strong hooks to mimic the movement of injured baitfish and entice strikes from passing red snapper. Vertical jigging allows anglers to target red snapper at various depths and explore different areas where these fish may be holding. By varying the speed and motion of the jigging action, anglers can trigger aggressive strikes from red snapper and enjoy thrilling battles on the open water.
Additionally, live bait fishing can be highly effective for targeting red snapper in Mount Pleasant. Anglers use live baitfish such as pinfish, mullet, or small blue runners rigged on heavy tackle to entice strikes from red snapper. Live bait fishing requires patience and precision, as anglers must present the bait in a natural and enticing manner to lure in these wary fish. By understanding the behavior and preferences of red snapper, as well as adapting to changing conditions, anglers can maximize their chances of success when targeting these prized bottom-dwelling predators in the waters off the coast of Mount Pleasant.
