Local Species Insights: Redfish
Redfish thrive in Charleston's extensive marsh system and shallow coastal waters year-round. These aggressive feeders patrol grass flats during high tide and concentrate around oyster bars and creek mouths during moving water. The 23-inch redfish recently caught demonstrates the quality fish available in Mount Pleasant's productive waters. Redfish respond well to live bait presentations including shrimp and finger mullet, as well as artificial lures like spoons and soft plastics worked near structure. Fall and spring months typically produce the most consistent action as fish feed heavily before and after spawning periods.
Plan Your Fishing Charter Day
Our Charleston fishing charters include a fully equipped boat with GPS, fish finder, and all necessary safety equipment. We provide Penn and Shimano rods and reels spooled with appropriate line weights for redfish. Live bait, artificial lures, and tackle are included in your charter fee.
