Redfish
Edisto Island is a fantastic base for targeting redfish along the South Carolina coast. The island's extensive network of tidal creeks, salt marshes, and the Edisto River provide ample habitat for these popular gamefish. Focus your efforts around the grass flats at low tide, or near oyster beds during higher tides. Spring and fall are the best times to fish, as the redfish are actively feeding during their seasonal migrations. A key local tip is to explore the creeks on the backside of the island; they often hold less pressured fish. The public boat ramp at Edisto Beach State Park offers easy access to the water. Remember to adjust your lure presentation based on water clarity and current; live shrimp or cut bait are always reliable choices, but don't be afraid to experiment with artificial lures like soft plastics or spoons. The redfish around Edisto Island are known for their feisty attitude and willingness to strike, making for an exciting day on the water.
