Sauger
Charleston, South Carolina, is not generally recognized as a prime location for Sauger. Sauger are primarily a freshwater species found in rivers and lakes further inland and to the north. Anglers interested in Sauger fishing should explore freshwater systems in the upstate region of South Carolina. The cooler months, from late fall to early spring, are typically the best times to target Sauger, as they prefer colder water temperatures. Jigs, minnows, and small crankbaits are effective lures when fished near the bottom of rivers and reservoirs. Be sure to consult the South Carolina Department of Natural Resources (SCDNR) regulations for specific information on Sauger fishing rules and license requirements. While Charleston is renowned for its saltwater fishing, exploring freshwater options in other parts of the state might be necessary to pursue Sauger.
