Lane Snapper
While Charleston isn't necessarily known as a Lane Snapper mecca, these tasty fish are a readily available bycatch when targeting other species on nearshore reefs and structures. You'll find them mixed in with other reef fish, such as Black Sea Bass and Sheepshead. The best time to target Lane Snapper around Charleston is during the warmer months, from late spring through early fall. Focus your efforts on artificial reefs and live bottom areas a few miles offshore. A simple bottom rig with a small hook baited with shrimp or cut bait will do the trick. A practical local tip is to pay attention to the tides. Fishing during periods of slower current can make it easier to keep your bait in the strike zone. Also, be sure to check the regulations regarding size and bag limits before you head out.
