It’s bull redfish time across the Carolinas. Anglers are catching them from the piers, the beaches, and while fishing from boats. While some anglers target these trophy fish this time of year, others catch them while going after slot-sized fish. Anglers fishing for sharks also hook a bull redfish from time to time. […]
The nearshore ocean off North Carolina’s Oak Island has attracted fish and fishermen for decades. It is one of only a few south-facing beaches along the coast of the Carolinas, and the unique westerly flow of water running out the Cape Fear River carries bait down the beach for a ways instead of sweeping it to the north like at most other inlets. […]
Fall fishing action fires off all over the South Carolina coast this time of year, but for big-fish action, you don’t have to go far from the beach. Big, bull redfish are heading out of inlets for the ocean, where they will spend the winter, making nearshore waters, especially those off the Grand Strand, prime areas to be brought to your knees by a strong fish.

By October, most inshore saltwater species will have moved through the inlets along North Carolina’s northern coast and into the ocean, especially after the water begins to cool. […]
Of the great fishing destinations along the North Carolina coast, Wrightsville Beach — at the end of I-40 and US 74 — is probably the easiest to get to and has the most different targets waiting for anglers: rock jetties, marshes, bays and plenty of protected area behind the barrier islands. […]
According to redfish tournament champ Glenn Finley, the vast expanses of marsh, creeks, bays and sounds around Georgetown, S.C., are the closest match he has seen to the popular redfish meccas of south Louisiana. […]
When Larry Youngblood of Walterboro landed a slot-sized redfish in Rantowles Creek earlier this week, his excitement quickly waned when he noticed a tag protruding from the fish’s body. […]
It’s summer; it’s hot, and almost every living creature is seeking shade every day. The Stono River south of Charleston, S.C., has plenty of docks — and plenty of redfish. […]
When July gets hot, the fishing gets even hotter inside Hatteras and Ocracoke inlets. Bull redfish up to 50 inches are all around, and there’s no more exciting way to catch them then chunking jigs and spoons to schools of 300 to 400 fish. […]
Spinnerbaits and spoons have long been staples in a bass fisherman’s tackle box, and they are leaned on heavily in the Mississippi Delta for bass and redfish. Their flash and vibration make them an unmistakable target in low-visibility water and a great search bait. […]
