Knobbed Porgy
Charleston's diverse marine environment provides a less-common, but still accessible, opportunity to target knobbed porgy. These bottom-dwelling fish can be found around offshore reefs, wrecks, and hard-bottom areas off the South Carolina coast. While not a primary target for most anglers, they are a welcome addition to the cooler. The best time to target knobbed porgy near Charleston is during the warmer months, from late spring to early fall, when water temperatures are higher. A practical tip is to focus your efforts around areas with strong currents, as this is where these fish tend to congregate. Many anglers find success using cut bait or small jigs fished near the bottom. Consider launching from Shem Creek or Charleston City Marina for easy access to offshore fishing grounds. Remember to check the latest regulations regarding size and bag limits before heading out.
