Halfbeak
Halfbeaks aren't the most common target in Charleston, but they can be found if you know where to look, offering a unique light-tackle experience. They are typically found in the warmer months, from late spring to early fall, in the inshore waters around Charleston. Focus your efforts around grassy flats, tidal creeks, and areas with floating debris or structure. These fish are surface feeders, so look for them near the top of the water column. To catch halfbeaks, use light spinning tackle with small hooks and pieces of shrimp or squid as bait. A stealthy approach is crucial, as they are easily spooked. The best access points are often from public boat ramps along the Intracoastal Waterway. Be mindful of the strong tides and currents in the area. Charleston's fishery is diverse, so you might encounter other species while targeting halfbeaks, making for a varied and exciting day on the water.
