The giant reds are still in Charleston Harbor. Trout of all sizes are extremely plentiful right now as are the juvenile Mangrove Snappers. The tarpon and shown up in good numbers as they await the mullet run and the giant black drum and jacks have been caught with frequency as well. August and September are pretty much in this holding pattern as we await the falling temperatures of October, November, and December which will get the jumbo 2-7 pound sea trout and the schooling reds fired up enough to eat anything you throw at them!

As the hottest month of the year gets into full swing here in Charleston, the water has actually been cooling down. Lots of rain and some cooler nights have dropped the water temps a good 10 degrees. What does that mean? Higher saturated oxygen content! And what does that mean? That means the fish are moving around more and they're more cooperative than they have been. That's a good thing!

August is the hottest month of the year in Charleston. The fishing isn't "normal" during August and the hotter months. The schools of redfish and trout can be harder to find and the trout in general are a little smaller. Don't fret though, the giant reds are swarming this time of year and the 30 plus inch schooling reds are very catchable. It just takes a little more knowledge and some changes in tactics.
