Seasonal Activity Chart
Spotted Seatrout
Edisto Island offers fantastic opportunities for chasing spotted seatrout, often called speckled trout, in its network of creeks and estuaries. The fall and spring months are particularly productive, as the water temperatures are ideal and the trout are actively feeding. Focus your efforts around oyster beds, grass flats, and creek mouths, especially during periods of moving water. Live shrimp under a popping cork is a classic Edisto tactic, but artificial lures like soft plastics and suspending twitchbaits can also be very effective. A local tip: wade fishing the flats at low tide can be incredibly rewarding, allowing you to access areas that are difficult to reach by boat. The Dawhoo River boat ramp provides good access to the inshore waters. Be mindful of the tides, as they can be significant, and always check the weather forecast before heading out.
