Redfish
Targeting redfish near Beech Island, SC, requires understanding the dynamic nature of the Savannah River's brackish waters. This area offers a unique blend of freshwater influence and saltwater intrusion, making it prime habitat. Focus your efforts around the tidal creeks and grass flats that intersect the main river channel. Spring and fall are particularly productive as redfish move in and out of these areas following baitfish migrations. A key local tip is to pay close attention to water clarity; after heavy rains, the river can become quite muddy, pushing the fish towards clearer creeks further from the main channel. Additionally, the numerous boat ramps along Highway 170 provide excellent access. Remember to adjust your presentation based on the current and temperature; live shrimp under a popping cork often works wonders, but don't hesitate to switch to soft plastics or spoons when the bite is tough. The redfish here are known for their aggressive strikes, so be prepared for a fight!
