Redfish
For redfish enthusiasts heading to Folly Beach, South Carolina, the inshore waters and tidal creeks offer exceptional opportunities. The fall shrimp run is a major draw, with redfish aggressively feeding on these crustaceans as they migrate. Focus your efforts around oyster beds, spartina grass edges, and docks during this period. Spring can also be productive, especially around the inlets as water temperatures rise. A local tactic is to use popping corks with live shrimp or artificial lures to attract attention in the murky water. Be aware of the strong tides that characterize this area; plan your fishing around the slack tide periods for easier boat control and casting. Access to these fishing spots is readily available from the public boat ramp under the Folly Beach bridge. Remember to check local regulations regarding size and bag limits before heading out.
