Places to wade flats - MtP/Sullivans/IOP

Any recommendations on good places to park and walk flats at high tide near MtP/Sullivans/IOP? Trying to avoid being ticketed, towed, or accidentally trespass.

I will take any recommendations of where I might have a chance at reds, trout or flounder on foot #noboat

Thanks

I hope you get some responses. Most people put time and effort into finding their own flats, so they guard the spots and don’t just openly share. Google Earth will give you a good idea of places to go based on geography/topography. Tickets shouldn’t be too big of a concern as long as you aren’t impeding traffic flow or in a clearly marked “no parking” zone. I have never waded but if I did I would give you some general areas. Good luck.

May want to look into getting a kayak. Cheap way to get on the water and you can launch then paddle to a flat and walk. Just a thought.

If only your UN was MtPGamecock I would share some great places. I had na kayak, then a 12ft john boat now a 16ft bay boat. I have found inshore the bigger the boat the less you catch. Buy a used kayak. Ive had great success in less than 1 mile from:

  1. Sol lagare landing- go left
  2. Bowens Island - go either way
  3. Folly landing - go either way

Each place you can find a flat at high tide or a bank to park on at mid to low. I second the google earth idea.

I almost forgot - walk on the beach. My son and I have done quite well at Sullivans and IOP. Gotta find the right spot. Bigs reds start to turn on good in the next month or 2

Welcome to the site! I have yet to figure out flats casting, so no help from me there. Good luck. But as mentioned… get out there.

I found great spot in Edisto. Could see reds swimming around me but apparently do not posses the skills needed to catch them in the flats.

You know you have an open invitation to go with me anytime.

DF, it’s a trick. hit me on my cell.

Despite Pea’s warning, I plan on coming down and basking in your skills and knowledge.

I don’t have your cell Pea, can’t “hit” you.

He can be reached at 872-201-6868.

I called that number, the guy that answered had a bad lisp and sounded middle eastern. He said “Achmed’s Camel Emporium” and then yelled “Allahu Akbar”!

There’s a hiking trail at Patriots Point that dead-ends at an observation tower.
