Trip Summary
We had an excellent day on the water here in Charleston, SC, targeting inshore red drum with light tackle. Conditions were just right, with clear water early on, so we leaned on live shrimp to get the bites going. When the water dirtied up later in the day, switching to darker baits kept the action steady.
Fishing with light tackle rods, spinning reels, and popping corks made every hookup a blast. We floated live shrimp along grass lines and around docks, letting the bait drift naturally with the tide—and the red drum were right there waiting. The result was lots of solid, nice-sized fish and nonstop excitement.
Charleston’s inshore waters continue to impress, and days like this are a perfect example of why a guided fishing charter here is hard to beat. Great scenery, great technique, and even better fish. ?
