Opinions from the experts… What is November like as far as fishing around places like the Edisto offshore or thereabouts inside of 100’. Is it worth trying? On a good day i’m going to go 30 miles out but probably staying around that boundary. Not too sure I want to venture much further in my 20’ KW. Just wondering what you all have caught in 80’ around that time of year. Thanks.
Bottom fishing is WIDE OPEN then!
One of my best days ever was December 4th.
Any tuna? Lots of yellowfin caught in Dec off of Oregon Inlet. Do we get any in the late fall or early winter, generally?
No yellowfin are allowed in SC waters, only black fin and Bonita. Yellowfin can be caught in NC, FL and the gulf.
Best bottom fishing is Nov through Feb. Most grouper are in as close as 50’. Just not much need to go after the grouper season closes Jan 1 with 5 fish limits on most species! Plus the ocean is devoid of boats those months, between Football and Deer season.
If it got any better I couldn’t stand it.

Sometimes I think this is true-all kidding aside.
Seriously, you will find a bluefin here occasionally during the Winter months.
Back on topic…
One of the best wahoo trips I had was during the full moon in February…they were caught in less than 180’.
