Fishing May Get Better
Marine biologists of the South Carolina Wildlife and Natural Resources Department predict improving fishing. Offshore bottom fish should be good with fair trolling action. Surf anglers report large channel bass moving in, plus some large whiting near Bull's Bay bars. Inshore bays should see fair channel bass and black drum with cut mullet and crab halves in deep holes.

Offshore and inshore fishing trends noted state wide
The report observes mixed results with shorelines near Charleston jetties and Beaufort County bridges producing large sheepshead on fiddler crabs but overall low fish counts. Inshore creeks yield a few small bass and trout. inlets show whiting spot and croaker in limited quantities. Offshore, bottom fishing for sea bass snapper and grouper improves in 60 to 280 feet, with king mackerel on surface baits and some bluefish on deep reefs. Freshwater notes cite Lake Clark Hill and Lake Murray with varying bass, crappie, bream and catfish activity, plus water conditions near normal or slightly dingy.
