They’re live and biting!

BY CAPTAIN GEOFF BENNETT Charleston is a great place to be fishing. No matter what type of fish you want to catch, they are all active and biting! While fishing for redfish remains strong, we’ve seen a pickup in the trout bite even with increasingly warmer water temperatures. Seasonal species like Spanish mackerel, ladyfish, bluefish... »

The usual suspects – redfish and trout – are now complimented by a host of seasonal species including Spanish Mackerel, ladyfish and sharks.

March fishing report

By Captain Geoff Bennett There are a lot of things to consider when fishing in the Lowcountry, but I never thought I would have to worry about whether or not the weight of snow would cause the tarp covering my boat to collapse!

Late February fishing report

By Captain Geoff Bennett We’ve had streaks of rainy and windy conditions over the last few weeks. Fortunately, the temperatures have been holding steady following last month’s cold snap. If you’re like me, though, cleaning your rods and reels or working on your boat during nasty weather can only keep you entertained for so long.... »

The big one

By Ali Akhyari The agreement had been to meet at the public boat docks on Folly Beach at 9am. The gray and grizzled sky coupled with a chilly breeze made the warm comforter of my bed especially heavy and difficult to toss away at 8:15.

The weather outside is trout-ful

By Captain Geoff Bennett With the chilly weather quickly moving in you might think that fish are nowhere to be found, but it’s a different story below the waves. It takes a long time for our local waters to completely cool off from the scorching days of August. Water temperatures are now in the low... »

Fishing excellence continues in November

By Captain Geoff Bennett The middle of November was witness to a week of heavy storms then followed by a week of huge daytime tides.

Early November fishing report

By Captain Geoff Bennett True to form, fishing this fall is great. Fish are eating steadily during the cooler weather, and if you’ve been out on the water recently, you probably noticed that you have the water to yourself; even on some weekends. With hungry fish and less crowds, now is the time to get... »
