High heat, above average water temperatures and abundant bait for redfish make fishing in Charleston waters challenging during summer months.
Late July Fishing Trip with Brett
High heat, above average water temperatures and abundant bait for redfish make fishing in Charleston waters challenging during summer months. Fortunately, Brett was willing to leave the docks at Shem Creek at daybreak before the heat kicked in. The early start helped make Brett’s introduction to fishing in Charleston a success.
Catching his first redfish in Charleston waters
Redfish making his 3rd run
Pulling the fish out from under the boat
Still fighting him…
Landing the fish
Loose drag helped this little red put up a big fight
Same baby red deserved a second picture
At least this little red was in the slot
Nice fish. Great fight, too.
Another great spottail bass – 4 on each side!

Looks like the redfish bite was on despite sweltering temps. Did you catch these in the flats?
Water is too hot in the flats. We fished in deep water off random points along the ICW behind Isle of Palms
Thanks for a great trip. I have lived in Mt Pleasant for 3 years but this is the first time I have been out on the water. (Young children, bad back, etc) I have been on a few flats boats back in Florida but the ride in your boat was the best. I cannot think of a better way to start a day. Seeing the early morning light develop over the marsh, the wildlife, and the serenity. It was such a great day. Plus, having fished with quite a few guides in all parts of the country over the years I can say that you (Capt. Legare) are the most laid back, helpful, and competent of them all. Thanks for posting the pics!
