Redfish
The Lowcountry surrounding Mount Pleasant is renowned for its redfish, and for good reason. The extensive network of tidal creeks, salt marshes, and flats provides ideal habitat. Focus your efforts on areas near oyster beds, spartina grass edges, and creek mouths, especially during the flood tide when redfish move into these areas to feed. Spring and fall are peak seasons, but redfish can be caught year-round. Mount Pleasant offers numerous public boat ramps, including the Remley Point Public Boat Landing, providing easy access to the water. A local tip is to use a popping cork with a soft plastic shrimp imitation to attract attention in murky water. Remember to pay attention to the tides, as redfish activity is heavily influenced by water movement. The redfish here are known for their aggressive strikes, so be prepared for a fight!
