Has anyone ever fished the rocks by breech’s and had much luck? I’ve surf fished a good bit there, but only caught whiting, blues, and a few sharks. I heard that fishing by the rocks over there is really good though, just wondering if anyone else has had any luck…
Tried it a bunch of times with no luck. Too much current.

u can catch just about anything on the slack tide
Try really close to the rocks with live mullet or Gulp! swimming mullet. Plan to lose some rigs and also plan to catch some nice flounder…outgoing tide is the best. Fish light…a lead head jig and a mullet or gulp is all you need if you catch the tide right.

I heard to expect some flounder too, sure hope so at least. Thanks for the advice Louie. Ill be sure to let yall know if I have any luck and have some pictures too.
If I had to pick one spot on our coast to catch really big flounder and I had no boat, it would be Breach Inlet. Also holds some nice seatrout at times.
park on the sullivans island side.go towards the round house on right.one hour before low tide wade into water so you can cast to the point where the last set of rocks submerge. fish from that point to 50-75 yards or so to the left. no need to cast any further than the rocks are deep,because it drops off deep and the flounder lay within 10 feet or so of that ledge. use mm cast to that ledge fish about 20 feet in. no bite reel in and cast again.they aren’t in real close.low tide in the mornings are best.
So I got to Breech’s around 845 and had fished off the first set off rocks after the bridge on Sullivan’s Island side. First cast with mm caught a tiny black sea bass. Second minnow caught a nice 15-16" flounder and when I pulled it up on the rocks it wiggled off the hook. No bites other than another sea bass and two dogfish, so made the switch to fiddlers for Sheephead. Dad caught a nice sheephead on first couple casts and same thing happened with the flounder, and lost him on the rocks. We were smart enough to leave the fishing net on the living room floor, and lost two nice fish out of it. The sheephead kept biting the fiddlers, but never pulled em in on time.
So, sort of caught a few fish, but lost the keepers on the rocks. Still a good time though. Thanks again for all the helpful information
Man, your report got me fired up even though you had a couple come unbuttoned. I’ve never caught sheeps there but it stands to reason they’d be there. I’m hoping to take the Duracraft to the jetties sometime this week to try my luck.
Ha, Im headed back tomorrow to try for some more action. There was actually a guy who was fishing off the last set of rocks by the roundhouse off the beach and caught a few big sheephead there, but it was so crowded with people that we didn’t want to go down there too. They’re definitely there though. Good luck at the jetties, no doubt you’ll catch some out there.
Dang man I cant wait to get down there
Hi Next Time,
Fishing from the rocks is fairly dangerous and very difficult to land anything that might be big. Fish from the beach ‘near’ the rocks and you will have a much better chance of landing a big flounder or redfish and you probably won’t even miss one without a net. You will also get hung up more if you fish from the rocks as opposed to the beach. Good luck…you did better than we did this weekend!

MNT…I know we locals no…please be extra careful…do not let children and or non-swimming persons wade out there over knee high…that water is very quick and strong…has claimed many lives
over the years from under the bridge to at least the rocks…really
I wanted to try for some flounder out there.
elad3 made a good point.let me clarify my previous reply.down by the round house the rocks that run parallel to the beach creates a shallower shelf where the tide isn’t as strong.high tide brings baitfish into that small cove.out going tide brings that bait off the end of those rocks and creates a good flounder spot.the water is calmer on that shelf.i wouldnt advise wading it the first 4 hrs of outgoing,but 2hrs or so before low its fishable for me.I dont wade over mid thigh depth.it’s not a place to take the kids and without a doubt breach inlet is a dangerous place.that being said I have caught flounder there,but dont advise anyone else to go in the water at breach inlet.
elad3 and Au79finger,
Thanks. I’ve fished there before and I knew not to wade out and I knew about the rocks, thanks for putting it out there though.
I’ve experienced trout stacked up the on outgoing beyond and south of those parallel rocks.
That’s all I can say.
Now it’s up to you to find out exactly where and when.
Keep a journal including all temps and pressure, fronts.
Thanks for y’all reminding the man about all the drownings that have happened there.
If you go, please be careful about wading into the incoming tide! It can and has killed people!
