water temp

does anyone know the water temp for folly beach right now

65

has it reached 70 yet

nope, was 68 prior to this storm front that moved in, now 66

Ya know, it must be nice living in Neverneverland. Remind me to come visit you, when I need a break from reality.

64 this morning

Dang, Was hoping to get this year started. I love to see the wild life in our fishery once their spring starts.

when would be the ideal tempature to fish for reds and sharks

Fall for reds.

Water temp edging to 69-70 currently. Gonna head out tomorrow and see how it goes.

how is the red drum fishing off folly beach right now

The reds have moved inshore, be wasting your time from the pier. Currently blues, whiting, black drum, spanish mackerel, and trout being caught at pier.

where would be good places to catch them

I am not the best red fisherman, but generally creek mouth where bait funnels is where I have had luck past few weeks. Also for those wondering, folly hit the desired 68-69 Murica units today.

water 70-71 today

Lower 70’s (in the rivers) should mean the beginning of the peak spring trout fishing! When it gets to 80 the little sharks will be everywhere and the trout will go nocturnal.

if i’m fishing for spanish mackerel from the folly pier, what are the best times, what should i throw?

Anything shiny and fast moving. The gotcha is pretty standard and cheap. You can run a fluoro leader to generate more bites but take chance of bite offs. Aim for anytime water is decent clarity and moving tide. Bait is a bonus as a good indicator spanish will be in there area.

what about water tempature?

Water temp is already over 72, no concerns anymore with that :slight_smile:

i was talking about when the spanish go offshore
