October Fishing Forecast

October Fishing Forecast

Fall fishing in Folly Beach is something you simply shouldn’t miss! October usually provides a reliable bite and ample opportunity to catch multiple species that live inshore, nearshore and out in the Deepwater. Our Deep Sea charters have been catching Vermilion Snapper, Grouper, Cobia, King Mackerel, Sea Bass and plenty of other bottom fish. Be ready to put your back into it as all these fish will try to head back to the reef as soon as you set the hook. Nearshore fishing charters have been successful targeting big Redfish, Black Drum, Bonito and Spanish Mackerel just off the beach. These drag peelers will require patience and a perfect cast, but once you get your bait it in front of one these feeding fish you will have your hands full.  Inshore fishing charters in Charleston has also been good with Speckled Trout, Redfish and Flounder hugging the grass lines and oyster beds in shallow water searching for minnows, crabs and shrimp.

This time of year schools of baitfish and shrimp are filling our waters and hungry game fish are not far behind. Over the past few trips, it was not unusual to find fish so tightly grouped up we had a fish hooked up every couple of casts. I expect the fishing to be good through the end of the year as fish feed heavily to prepare for our short and mild winter. Come on out and go fishing with us. Book directly online, call or email for reservations. These happy folks in the pictures below did!

Peaceful & Beautiful

This was my families first time at the ocean and I will never forget the look of joy on my youngest daughter’s face the moment the waves first came up on her feet. The beach was not over crowded, was clean, and was great for relaxing, swimming, and collecting seashells. There is a long pier for fishing off of and it is a beautiful sight at night. The town atmosphere was a nice mix between relaxing and having a good time and can work for the over 21 crowd as well as for families with small kids. There are plenty of great food stops and cute shops.

Fantastic & Peaceful

This beach is very relaxing and a great place to chill out. We saw several dolphins and enjoyed walking on the fishing pier. I would consider staying on the beach here next time we are in Charleston instead of downtown.
