Hey all!
So I now have access to a boat and have done a little bit of fishing from it. I was wondering if anyone would be willing to show me some tricks, tips, NOT SO SECRET fishing spots and how to fish them. I have fished from shore here for over 8 years, but this is my branching out into the boating world. I’d appreciate any help or advice. I am off most weekends and all thru the week in the AM until 2pm.
Size boat? Where you launch? What you want to catch?
Not so secret spots? Grillage on south side of Sullivans island. Last dock at the creek bend behind Goat Island (by SI)
First, Most, Biggest
Boat Size is a 22’ Center Console. The Boat takes out of Charleston Harbor Resorts Marina.
I really do not know where to start. I feel like a kid in a candy store lol. I have a single trolling reel with 30lb test line, and a couple of spinning reels (12lb and 20lb). I definitely at this point want to stay inshore, and I am worried about the Jetties as I have heard they can be not very nice to inexperienced people.
As far as what I want to catch. Trout, Red’s, Flounder, nothing yet in particular, just really more wanting to learn and get into learning the proper way to do things from a boat.
hire a guide. good ones on this site. it’ll shorten your learning curve - alot. dont’ ask for spots. ask em to teach you what to look for. do you have a trolling motor on your boat? ask the guide to come on your boat. you’ll learn stuff.
if you don’t wanna do that, go to haddrells mt p, buy a top spot map, and stand there and look dumb. they will help you.
never ever believe anything that 23sailfish says about fishin, women, hunting or college football - that’ll keep you out of alot of bs. 2nd thought, use the ignore feature for him.

Thanks GreatWhite and Thanks Peapod. I do not have a trolling motor on the boat. I’ll definitely look into a guide to teach me. Thank you
