Blackfin Snapper
Charleston, South Carolina, offers unique opportunities to target Blackfin Snapper in its diverse waters, from nearshore reefs to offshore ledges. While Blackfin can be caught year-round, the warmer months, particularly late spring through early fall, generally offer the most consistent action. These fish tend to congregate around structure, so focus your efforts on areas with wrecks, artificial reefs, and natural hard bottoms. A great starting point is the numerous artificial reefs located within a few miles of Charleston Harbor. Trolling small lures or drifting live bait near these structures can be highly effective. Keep in mind that strong currents are common in this area, so be prepared to adjust your presentation and use heavier weights as needed. Also, be aware of the seasonal closures and regulations for snapper species in South Carolina waters.
