Fishing Charter Forecast for May 2014

The month of May is a great turning point for inshore fishing.  The bite is on!! Water temperatures are starting to rise.  This causes many inshore species to feed more often due to an increased metabolism.  You can expect to catch: redfish, trout, sheepshead, flounder, bluefish, spanish mackerel and sharks.  Many large trout are starting to be caught in the Ashley, Wando, and Cooper rivers. Big redfish are starting to become more structure oriented and are heading to the Jettys from offshore.  The Sheepshead are starting to move inland from their offshore sanctuaries.  Schools of spanish mackerel are starting to make their way inland chasing schools of glass minnows.  The month of May is a great time to fish especially with a local experienced guide.

Inshore Fishing Charters 4/10-4/13

   The bigger redfish bite is starting to become very steady. I found that most of the bigger schools are on the flats following the schools of mullet.  Cut mullet and blue crabs are still their preferred bait.  Although mud minnows will work fine as well. 

   The trout are still a little finicky but are starting to show up.  They are also still loving those mud minnows.  Dead high tide seems like the only time you catch trout steadily.

Inshore Redfish 4/10/14

Had a great day today fishing with a fella from Nebraska.  It was a blast.  I thought the small tides today would have had the fish a bit deeper than on the usual flats.  Not the case....the reds were schooled up and attacking the newly arrived mullet.   The bite was slower than expected.  We landed 3 fish and had one break off.  All of them were in the 25"-30" range.  My customer had a blast reeling in 3 nice redfish and looking at the schools of them swim by.  I would have to say today was a good day to be on an inshore fishing charter.

Big Redfish on an Inshore Charter

Had a pretty good redfish bite.  The bite is getting better. http://www.exclusivefishingcharters.com

Redfish schools are still around!

     Went out today looking for reds in the flats boat today.  A couple dozen mud minnows and a couple live blue crabs blue crabs seemed like the perfect bait.  We headed up the Cooper River (since it's usually clear after a hard rain).  Not only did it surprise me again, but the fish were pretty active.  The fish loved quartered crab and hated mud minnows.  We ended up with with 6 nice over slot reds and one nice slot red.  The trout bite is still dead on popping corks. Phone died and no pics for the day.

     Getting ready for a blackfin tuna/ wahoo trip on Friday.  Hopefully there will be some awesome action around the Georgetown hole.  The reports are good and the rods are ready!  The cedar plugs and butterfly jigs are ready to hookup! http://www.exclusivefishingcharters.com
