April Angling in Charleston

April is a great time to fish in Charleston, SC. The weather is getting warmer, and so are the waters. This means a lot of fish are coming closer to shore, and it's an excellent chance for some superb fishing, whether you're an experienced angler or just starting out.

Close to Shore

In April, the shallow waters near the shore are busting with redfish. They enjoy hanging in the shallow waters near the grass and in the flats when the tide goes out. Speckled trout start showing up more too. You can catch them in the mornings or late afternoons. Good spots to find them are where creeks flow out and around oyster beds.

A Bit Further Out

If you head out a little from shore to the reefs and wrecks, you'll find some sheepshead and black sea bass. They like hanging around structures, making them a fun challenge to catch. April is also when cobia start moving through the area. They're big, strong fish and spotting one to cast at is super exciting. You might see them near buoys and inlets.

Deep Water Adventures

For those who like going way out into the ocean, April's a great time for that too. You can catch mahi-mahi, which are beautiful to watch with their colors and they put up a good fight. They're often found near lines of seaweed in the water. There's also wahoo and tuna out in the deeper parts. Catching these fish is super fun and also some good action.

Conservation is Key

Remember, while fishing is fun, we need to look after the water and the fish. Follow the rules, let fish go if you're not going to eat them, and keep the places you fish clean so we can all enjoy them for a long time.

April in Charleston is perfect for getting out and enjoying some fishing. Whether you're in the shallow waters, going a bit further out, or heading deep into the ocean, there's something for everyone. So book your fishing charter today and let’s get ready for some fun out on the water.
