Local Species Insights: Redfish
Redfish thrive in Charleston's brackish marshes and shallow coastal waters, making Mount Pleasant an ideal location for targeting these bronze-backed fighters. These drum species prefer water temperatures between 65-85°F and feed actively on crabs, shrimp, and baitfish around structure. The 23-inch specimen caught here demonstrates the healthy redfish population in our local waters. Peak fishing occurs during moving tides when redfish cruise the flats searching for prey.
Plan Your Fishing Charter Day
Our Charleston fishing charters depart from convenient Mount Pleasant locations with easy access to prime redfish habitat. Boats are equipped with shallow-water capabilities, GPS electronics, and safety equipment. We provide all fishing gear, bait, and tackle, though you're welcome to bring your own equipment. Trips accommodate up to six anglers comfortably. Early morning departures often produce the best results, especially during warmer months when redfish feed more actively in cooler water.
