Even though redfish spread out in the warmer months, they relate to low-tide, shallow-water flats year-round because they provide security from predators like the bottlenose dolphin. Knowing good low-tide spots gives you indications where adjacent high-tide spots may be located. Add the right time of the tide and good technique, and you will catch fish.
In the Coosaw River and Morgan River, good fish-holding spots include the Airport flats near Warsaw Island. Outside the mouth of Lucy Creek, the area across and down the Coosaw River at the mouth of the Combahee River offers points and flats that hold redfish. Fish the upriver point at the Combahee and the flats on both sides of the inter-coastal channel called the Ashepoo-Coosaw Cutoff.
Also just outside the mouth of Lucy Creek, along the banks of Coosaw Island and Lady’s Island, both upriver and downriver, are docks and shorelines that hold redfish.
The west side of the Broad River has lots of summer spots. Try the Hazards Creek flats, the Rose Island flats and the Daws Island flats.
The Harbor River area has a wadable flat near the Harbor River Bridge that also holds fish at low tide. The interior portion of the river has a huge shallow-water, low-tide area called the Harbor River flats. Use care in there on falling tides so you don’t get stuck.
