The last weeks of Fishing here in Charleston has been fantastic. The redfish have been putting on the feed. Fish have been caught using mud minnows under a popping cork along exposed oyster bars on the outgoing and incoming tides.

once you locate fish stake out or power pole down and continue Fishing that area as the fish will cruise in and out looking for fresh food sources to be delivered by the tide. 

Fly fishing has been decent as well primarily fishing drum beaters and dark crab patterns representing the fiddler crab. Make sure to Get out on the water today or contact us for a summer charter!
