Inshore: Captain Caleb Hartley (843-241-7706) reports that fishing got better through June and so they expect more improvement, especially with trout and redfish, in July. It has also been a good season for flounder so far, and if anything they should get more predictable with consistently hot weather this month. All three species have been keying on mullet the best, but if we get rain and more shrimp are around they could become more important. Sharks will also continue to be prolific and can provide plenty of excitement.Beach and Nearshore: Captain Caleb Hartley reports that Spanish mackerel and kings should be around from the beaches out when the menhaden schools are present, and they can be caught on live bait or trolling spoons. There should also continue to be spadefish, cobia, flounder and more at the reefs.
