Spotted Seatrout
If you're targeting Spotted Seatrout around Isle of Palms, South Carolina, you're in for a treat. The inshore waters and adjacent estuaries offer prime habitat. Look to the Intracoastal Waterway, creeks feeding into the Charleston Harbor, and grass flats for the best action. Seatrout fishing here really heats up in the spring and fall, when water temperatures are moderate and the fish are actively feeding. During the warmer months, focus on fishing early in the morning or late in the evening to avoid the heat. A local tip: the numerous docks and oyster mounds around Breach Inlet are always worth a cast. Pay attention to tidal flow, as seatrout often congregate on the down-current side of structures to ambush prey. The seatrout in this area are known for their willingness to hit artificial lures like soft plastics and topwater plugs, but live shrimp under a popping cork is always a reliable choice. Remember to adjust your presentation based on the depth and current.
