Port Royal Sound spots

The author caught this hefty redfish on a jighead and soft-plastic trailer.

Port Royal Sound also has plenty of redfish spots. Several are accessible from two of the more popular landings: the Chechessee River landing at the foot of the SC 170 Bridge and the Alljoy landing on the May River in historic old Bluffton. From Alljoy, try the flats and shoals along Bull Creek, around Bull Island and Savage Island. These waters have both low and high tide flats for redfish.

From the Chechessee landing, motoring down and across to Dawes Island — the large island on the west side of the Broad River just below the SC 170 bridge — you’ll find several good looking redfish spots. Try the long and very shallow flat about halfway down Dawes Island, near the Cobia hole, that holds several schools of redfish at low tide.

Motoring up beyond the SC 170 Bridge over the Broad River, is the Hazards Creek area and a point that extends from Hogs Neck. This whole edge is a shallow, low-tide flat with several creek cuts, various holes and sand bars and also bordered by deeper water where spot-tails will roam back and forth.
