Barracuda
Charleston, South Carolina, offers some exciting barracuda fishing opportunities, particularly in the warmer months. Focus your efforts around the numerous jetties, artificial reefs, and nearshore wrecks that are home to baitfish. Summer and early fall are the peak seasons, when the water temperatures rise, and the 'cuda become more active. Try trolling spoons or tube lures along the jetties, or casting live bait around the reefs. A local tip is to fish around the Charleston Harbor jetties, easily accessible by boat. Barracuda in this region are known for their aggressive strikes, often hitting lures with incredible speed. Be prepared for a fast and furious fight. Always remember to use a wire leader to prevent bite-offs, and handle these fish with care, as they have sharp teeth and a powerful bite.
