Various

In Mount Pleasant, the pursuit of Spotted Seatrout is a year-round opportunity, though the fall and spring months are often considered prime time. The diverse network of creeks, estuaries, and the expansive Charleston Harbor offer abundant habitat for these fish. Focus your efforts around oyster beds, grass flats, and docks, as these areas tend to hold the most trout. A local tip is to use popping corks with live shrimp or artificial lures to attract attention in murky water. The seatrout in this region are known to be opportunistic feeders, so varying your presentation can be key to success. Be aware of the strong tidal currents in the area, as they can significantly impact fish location and feeding patterns. Also, pay attention to water temperature, as seatrout tend to move into deeper water during colder months. Respect the local regulations and practice responsible angling to help maintain a healthy population.
