Charter Fishing in Folly Beach! December is one of the best months for fishing inshore for Redfish and Speckled Trout. These fish feed heavily in advance of our short winter, and now is the time to boat large numbers of quality fish. We typically focus on fishing large schools that gather around shallow creeks and river bends, using live shrimp and minnows that are still abundant in our waters. For the angler that likes more of a skill-based fishing charter, we can target those fish with a variety of lures. We will cast soft plastic swim baits and crankbaits. In my opinion, nothing is more fun than feeling the fish attack your lure as you are working the bait past them. When you feel the fish inhale your bait a swift hook set will get you connected and ready to do battle! On Calm days we will venture to our nearshore reefs to fish for Sheepshead and Weakfish. Both these species gather in large numbers to intercept bait fish as they begin to head to deeper waters for our short winter. We will also expect to see large Black Drum ranging from 10 to 30 lbs. at those reefs. When those tough fish inhale your bait you need to lean back and lift your rod back to turn their heads away from the rocks or you may lose them to the rocks. As always it’s best to book in advance online but feel free to text or call with questions or to book directly with us. Our weather cancellation policy is more liberal in the winter and late morning start times are more common. I would love to see you on deck this winter so let’s get you out there to enjoy some of the best fishing Folly Beach has to offer!

Charter Fishing in Folly Beach in November is hard to beat. This is the time of year our inshore Charters can boat big numbers of Redfish, Speckled Trout, Black Drum, and several other species. The Redfish and Speckled Trout eagerly chase down mud minnows and shrimp cast under a float rig. If you want to cast artificial baits on them smaller swim, baits by Z-Man will yield solid results without the complications and cost of dealing with live bait.

Nearshore reef fishing is also great this time of year. Black Drums and Sheepshead can be found foraging around rock piles. We drop shrimp, clam strips, and Fiddler Crabs directly along the structure to entice these fish to strike. When they do, an immediate hook set is required to gain control of the fish before they swim back into the structure for safety. Weather and conditions permitting we will also pursue big schools of Weakfish that have taken up residence at the nearshore reefs. If we are lucky schools of Bull Reds can be found cruising about a mile off of Folly Beach and Charleston. In summary, there is no shortage of game fish to target this time of year so don’t be caught sitting on the couch. Call or text to get on the schedule and let’s go fishing!

Fall fishing on Folly Beach is simply the best of the year. The waters around the inlet and Lighthouse are teeming with Bull Redfish, and the creeks and points are holding Speckled Trout, Flounder, Black Drum, and Redfish of every size. Bait is typically plentiful and the weather is most often dry and comfortable. If you allow your guide to choose the target species, you will likely have a productive, fun day on the water.

On our last few charters, we have been successfully targeting Bull Redfish just off the beach and Speckled Trout inshore. The Bull Reds have been eating Mullet, Pinfish, and Blue Crab while the Speckled Trout have responded to Mud minnows, Shrimp, and artificials. Along with the Speckled Trout, we have been catching Flounder, Black Drum, and plenty of inshore Redfish so a mixed bag has more often than not been the rule of the day.

Charter fishing in Charleston and Folly Beach has been good as some cooler weather has seen water temps drop by 5 degrees. We fished just off the beach recently and there were large schools of Mackerel and False Albacore mixed in with some big tackle busting Jack Crevalle. This is no surprise to me as September is typically a great month to go fishing. Big Bull Redfish are piling into the inlets and Jetties, False Albacore and Spanish Mackerel are chasing baits a mile off the beach, and big sharks are lurking around the sandbars. Just inshore Flounder, Black Drum, Speckled Trout and keeper Redfish are feeding in our tidal rivers and creeks on live shrimp, mud minnows and all our favorite artificials by Z-Man. Bait is abundant so a few quick throws of the cast net and we have full live wells. There is a feeding frenzy that begins in September and continues through the end of the year. Shorter days and the sudden influx of bait signals to every fish that it’s time to eat as much as they can before the water cools down. Let’s get you out there to enjoy it with us! Call, text or book online. See you on deck!

Folly Beach fishing Charters have been good recently as weeks of good weather and calm conditions provided some excellent fishing conditions. There is plenty of fun to be had for anglers of every age and skill level. Bait is flush in the system and now through the end of December we typically experience the best fishing of the year. The big Bull Redfish run is in full swing and should stay fairly consistent through the middle of October.

Bull Reds are currently hitting on Blue Crab, Menhaden, Mullet and cut Bluefish. We have been fishing around structure and deep drop offs. Shark fishing has been a crowd pleaser as these predators hug the beaches and prowl the inlets in search of an easy meal. Black tips and Spinner sharks have been chasing Menhaden and live Mullet. 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.

Deep Sea trips are finding King Mackerel, Triggerfish, Cobia, Snapper, Grouper and Amberjack for anglers that want to venture farther off the coast. Text me at 843-696-4231 for a quick response to your questions or book online 24 hours a day. See you on deck soon!
