Inshore: Captain Rob Bennett (843-367-3777) and Captain Addison Rupert (843-557-3476) report that March is an unpredictable month in Charleston for redfish, as the fish can be skittish and difficult to convince to eat. However, fishing began to get really good in late February so March could easily be more of the same. Trout should be easier to catch in the creeks this month, and live bait will increase your chances of hooking up. It appears the population fared better than feared during the cold spell in January. And while its not technically a saltwater fishery, Captain Rob points out that perhaps the best bet this month is to head inland and fish the shad run with small twister-tail grubs as fish make their way into the Rediversion Canal, Santee River and Cooper River Tailrace. By the end of February the shad bite was already on fire.Surf and pier: Folly Beach Pier (843-762-9516) reports that March is all about the baitfish, and when bait starts to arrive large bluefish and trout will also appear. Sharks and rays should be around all month as well as whiting, croaker and small black drum.Nearshore/offshore: Captain Rob Bennett (843-367-3777) reports that sheepshead will be all over the nearshore reefs right through the month of March, and on days when you can get offshore catches can be excellent. A variety of baits including fiddler crabs, sand fleas and mussels will work.
