So I was looking at the Google Map and noticed a nice road to park on over by Fort Moultrie which leads down to the beach. Any good fishing out on the beach behind there?
I fished there last year for reds, caught a small one. I was thinking about heading over there soon as it looks like there is a nice drop off near a buoy
Yeah I see what you are talking about in regards to the buoy. What bait did you use when you fished there last year? Also, was the current really swift during incoming time?
I think it was cut bait and i can’t remember about the current. I did see a lot of dolphins there though. They were doing flips in the air. Really cool.
Fort Moultrie is one of the easier places to get to/set up your stuff, it’s a fairly short walk and free parking, and NO swimmers (they die very quickly if they try lol).
The current there is really swift though, but I think I’ve seen more diversity of fish come from that spot than any other… just… none of much size.
I’ve caught, or seen caught there, sharpnose and bonnethead shark, red and black drum, sea trout, weakfish, spots, croakers, whiting, flounder, pinfish, silver surf perch, several different specie of puffer, sheepshead, juvenile black sea bass. You name it— if it’s inshore, it shows up at Fort Moultrie. But again, they were almost all undersized if they were a regulated specie.
I’ve also caught, in my cast net and my dip nets (near the rocks, in tide pools, or in the surf next to the larger rocks)— mullet, lined killifish (the silver minnows you see playing in the inch-deep waters in the surf), juvenile permit and pompano (the permit are black and rusty-red), juvenile barracuda, filefish, sea robins, several different types of blenny and goby. All sorts of crazy stuff.
You can find easy fiddler crabs for bait if you walk out onto the sand, turn right, and go a 100-200 yards or so until you get to the area with all the sea grass and the rock sea wall. Good bait for sheepshead and reds.
