Seasonal Activity Chart
Spotted Seatrout
If you're after Spotted Seatrout, Sullivan's Island, South Carolina, offers some fantastic inshore fishing. Focus your efforts on the tidal creeks and grass flats surrounding the island. Seatrout here are heavily influenced by seasonal bait migrations. Spring and fall are prime times, as the fish move in and out of the estuaries. Live shrimp under a popping cork is a classic and effective presentation, but don't overlook artificial lures like soft plastics or suspending twitch baits. Pay close attention to water clarity and adjust your lure color accordingly. A local tip: try fishing around oyster beds during a falling tide, as these areas concentrate bait and attract hungry trout. Be aware of the strong tidal currents, which can influence fish location and feeding patterns. The Breach Inlet area is known to hold good numbers of trout, but be mindful of boat traffic and shallow areas.
