A majority of the reports we’ve posted here on The Charleston Angler’s Reel Blog recently have discussed the effectiveness of fishing blue crab over oyster beds and around structure. Recently one of our readers asked a great question: ‘How do you go about rigging a blue crab?’ Well, there are a few ways to do [...]
Fishing this afternoon’s rising tide with Jeff and Dave, we went and focused on structure with the very low tide. Like the last few months, redfish did not shy away from chunks of fresh blue crab. At our first spot, Dave’s line started to drift and it looked the current was just pulling the bait [...]
Over the last couple of weeks things have changed inshore and offshore. Inshore the redfish have split from the schools making them tough to target for big numbers. Sheepshead fishing is on fire. Trout have shown a strong presence on the grass edges at high tide and I have has several trips with over 20 [...]

Facing another day of stiff winds, the Towles family did a great job today. Had redfish up to eight pounds eat cracked crab at our first stop. We went to fish some oyster beds as low tide approached. Not long after our first casts, John’s rod violently bent over and the drag began to scream. [...]

I had the opportunity to go out with a friend of mine who invited some of his clients along for a day of fishing. Well, it looks like he brought the cold and wind with him. With a little patience, we battled through the wind and waves. The wind finally died down a little and [...]

Had a great day on the Folly River with Adam and his two sons from Michigan. After pulling up to a few spots with limited action and a few spots already taken, we targeted docks for most of the day. Glad we did. We were using cracked blue crab and almost everytime the bait would [...]

The Vanevenhoven brothers started early today on a 1/2 day charter. Not used to big saltwater fish, Alan got an early encounter at our first spot and landed a nice nine pound redfish. Action continued throughout the trip as the water fell. The brothers lost a few around docks but by the end of the [...]
We started out in less than stellar conditions with a slow bite, but we stayed patient and it payed off. We were fishing cracked blue crab and mud minnows around docks and structure. The folks from WV were real troopers today. The capt.’s hat is off to them. Great day on the water considering the [...]

Wonderful sunny weather has continued day after day making for awesome fishing conditions. With all this warm weather, it’s no surprise that our fishery is 4-6 weeks ahead of schedule. The water is teeming with bait and even a few sharks are already cruising around. Expect April to be a fantastic month of fishing. While [...]
