Cubera Snapper
Charleston's offshore waters hold a surprising population of Cubera Snapper, offering a unique opportunity for anglers targeting these powerful fish. While not as well-known as other destinations, the wrecks and reefs off the South Carolina coast provide excellent habitat. Look for areas with significant structure in 80-150 feet of water. The warmer months, from late spring through early fall, are the most productive. Focus on presenting large live baits, such as menhaden or mullet, near the bottom. Be prepared for a tough battle, as Cubera Snapper are known for their brute strength. A helpful tip: many local charters use heavy braided line and stout conventional gear to handle these fish. Before heading out, be sure to check the latest South Carolina fishing regulations, including size and bag limits for snapper species.
