Black Sea Bass
If you're targeting Black Sea Bass out of Isle of Palms, South Carolina, you're in for a treat. The nearshore reefs and wrecks just offshore are prime habitat for these tasty fish. The best action tends to be in the cooler months, from late fall through early spring, when the sea bass aggregate in larger numbers before the water warms. During this time, they actively feed to prepare for spawning. Focus your efforts around structure in 60-120 feet of water. A local tip: many anglers have success using cut squid or live shrimp on a Carolina rig. Pay close attention to your depth finder, as sea bass often hold tight to the bottom. Be mindful of seasonal closures and regulations, as they can change to protect the fishery. Also, water clarity can vary significantly, so bring a selection of jig colors to adapt to the conditions.
