Inshore: Captain Rob Bennett (843-367-3777) and Captain Addison Rupert (843-557-3476) report that September should be an excellent month for inshore fishing, and with bait shrimp and finger mullet abundant pretty much everything should only feed more as it cools. Its been a strong late August and fishing will only get better this fall. Redfish will get even more aggressive this month and young-of-the-year fish will be bigger, and trout fishing will get better as the water cools. Both species will be caught on live shrimp and live finger mullet, with reds usually a little shallower and trout a bit deeper. This should be another excellent month for tarpon in our waters, and with the mullet run silver kings will key on mullet in the inlets and surf. Finally, more bull reds should be around in the Charleston Harbor as well as closer in.Surf and pier: Folly Beach Pier (843-762-9516) reports that with dropping temperatures September fishing should really pick up, and daytime fishing will become more pleasant and productive. Black drum, whiting, bluefish and trout should be caught this month, and if water conditions are right Spanish mackerel and kings should be caught off the diamond. Bull reds should also be prolific this month.
