Charleston's extensive marsh system and tidal creeks create ideal habitat for redfish, speckled trout, and flounder. The area's structure includes oyster beds, grass flats, and creek mouths that concentrate baitfish and attract predators. Our local knowledge helps identify the most productive areas based on tide, weather, and seasonal patterns.
Mount Pleasant's proximity to both shallow flats and deeper channels provides diverse fishing opportunities throughout the year. Spring and fall offer some of the most consistent action, while summer brings excellent early morning and evening fishing when temperatures moderate.
