Burbot
Charleston, South Carolina, is a fantastic location for saltwater fishing, but targeting burbot here would be highly unconventional. Burbot are a freshwater species that thrive in cold, deep lakes and rivers, a stark contrast to Charleston's coastal environment. The warmer, brackish waters surrounding Charleston are simply not conducive to burbot survival. Any reported catches would likely be misidentified fish. If you're visiting Charleston and looking to fish, concentrate on the area's celebrated redfish, flounder, and sheepshead fisheries in the inshore creeks and estuaries. For those specifically interested in burbot, you'll need to head towards colder, freshwater environments much further north and west. Always check local fishing reports and regulations before you go. Consider exploring the upstate South Carolina lakes for freshwater opportunities but not for Burbot.
