Inshore: Captain Smiley Fishing Charters (843-361-7445) reports that weather will affect the quality of the bite in August, but even in the heat of July they had some very good days for flounder and redfish and that should continue. With so much bait around live shrimp, finger mullet, and mud minnows will be better than artificial lures for most species this month. Black drum will also eat fresh, dead shrimp fished around structure. In fact, if you want steady action fishing cut shrimp is often the most productive pattern because of the numbers of species that will eat it.Cherry Grove Pier (843-249-1625) predicts that whiting, pompano, bluefish, black drum, trout, and flounder should all continue to be caught in August. Spanish mackerel fishing should stay good this month, and when the water is clean the king mackerel bite should heat up heading towards September. At the end of July the flounder fishing was off the charts and they are hopeful this will continue.Nearshore: aptain Smiley Fishing Charters (843-361-7445) reports that Spanish mackerel should be abundant this month when the weather allows boats to get out there, with trolling spoons on planer boards the easiest way to catch them.
