I have to be in Charleston for a week for work. I am only working nights so I have a lot of time to kill during the day. Thought about bringing the boat down but am not driving my personal vehicle so that is out. I am looking for any info that anyone is willing to provide regarding anyplace to fish from shore, bridges or piers. I am not asking for top secret spots or anything like that but, if anyone is willing to share any decent spots that one can fish from without a boat I would really appreciate it. I usually look forward to coming down but will have so much down time that I am trying to find some daytime activities to kill some time.
This post took me back about 35 years. Is it still possible to walk to the old coal chute? If someone posts that is is, dfreedon, call me and I’ll tell you how to get there and another place. Actually, any bridge you can get under can be good around the low tide.
The old pitt st bridge in Mt Pleasant, the new fishing pier at the Mt pleasant park, The ponds off of lockwood blvd downtown, the beach at breach inlet, the beach at 10th street on Sullivans Island, folly pier…and so on.
Can you fish at Brittlebank Park? Redfish cruise that bank. Also JI County Park has a fishin’ dock. And you can catch fish along the rocky groins at Folly, too (or probably any of the beaches).

You can fish the dock at Bowen’s Island as well. Also, I’ve caught a few fish near the bridge in Edgewater Park in West Ashley. Its at the end of Wappoo road. There are a bunch of oyster beds about 25 yards from the bank and a few good places to park.
