Red Hot!

Sight fishing with a fly rod produced this nice redfish for Eric Brown.

Take to the Beaufort’s Hilton Head area, and be ready for a fight — once you learn where to find them.

Good news and bad news – that’s August redfishing. Yes, the spot-tails are active, growing bigger and stronger, and they will strike well-presented baits and lures. It’s the month some of the largest redfish are caught inshore, before sexual maturity drives them into the ocean to spawn, never to return to our Lowcountry shallows.

But it’s hot, and afternoon pop-up thunder storms sometimes get in the way, so the preferable early day outings don’t always coincide with your favorite fishing tide.

Learning to catch fish on any tide means greater success, but different stages of the tides require different approaches.
