Charleston Inshore Fishing Report

As fall is fast approaching and night time air temps start dipping, so do the water temperatures. This triggers a transition into my favorite and most productive time of year. The Redfish and Trout start feeding like they haven’t eaten in weeks. They have to store up calories for a cold winter ahead. The last week of September was the start of this years transition. Tons of finger mullet and jumbo shrimp around in the harbor and in the creeks so don’t put the cast nets up yet! It’ll be another few weeks before they start eating the grubs and jig heads! Hit Tips: As the water gets cleaner, reduce the size of your fluorocarbon leaders. I sometimes get down as far as 8 pound leaders for the Sea Trout. I usually don’t go any lighter than 15 pound floro leaders for the Redfish.
