While not the most common target, Black Sea Bass can be reliably found in the deeper waters surrounding Daufuskie Island. These bottom-dwelling fish congregate around structure, such as reefs, wrecks, and artificial reefs, offering plenty of opportunities for anglers. The cooler months, from late fall through early spring, are generally the best time to target them. Bottom fishing with cut bait, squid, or clams is a standard approach. A Carolina rig or a jig head are both effective. A local tip: try using a fish finder to locate promising structure. The artificial reefs located a few miles offshore hold good numbers of Black Sea Bass. Be prepared for other bottom-dwelling species as well, such as snapper and grouper. Check South Carolina DNR regulations for size and bag limits before you head out. The offshore waters can be challenging so boat size and safety precautions are important.
