August Fishing Report

Folly Beach fishing has been good recently as last week’s foul weather has moved on. We fished the day after the storm cleared the area and we had nice weather and calm conditions. It’s typical for the fishing to be very good after a major storm and this time around we had excellent fishing conditions. The water was still a little cloudy but that didn’t discourage the fish from biting. Bait is flush in the system in our waters again it should stay through the end of December.

The big Bull Redfish are hanging around the jetties and deep holes in the harbor. Those fish will be here until early fall. So if you want to fight big fish, book an inshore trip and let’s get after them! We are catching those Bull Reds on Blue Crab, Menhaden, Mullet and cut Bluefish.

Shark fishing has been a crowd pleaser as these predators hug the beaches and prowl the inlets in search of an easy meal. These fish are strong and fast, and this time of year we get some big ones near our inlets. Inshore Speckled Trout, Flounder and Redfish remain a favorite target. We have been casting assorted live bait such as finger mullet, mud minnows and shrimp to our inshore fish while some schools of inshore Redfish seem to favor cut baits. We have had luck in shallow areas of the marsh either a few hours before low tide, or just as the tide is coming in.

Deep Sea trips are finding King Mackerel, Triggerfish, Cobia, Snapper, Grouper and Amberjack, Sea Bass and assorted Snapper. These trips are a lot of fun and you will never truly know what you will run into out there in the deep!  If you have any questions Text me at 843-696-4231 for a quick response.
