Inshore: Captain Smiley Fishing Charters (843-361-7445) reports that patterns should hold fairly steady in the month of July, especially as it had already gotten hot by the end of June. By this point mullet are a consistent bait source for flounder, redfish, occasional trout, and more, and pretty much everything should also eat shrimp, which should remain prolific in the area. The problem is that with shrimp you deal with more small fish that will pick at your bait. Look for fish to hold a little deeper in the July heat and to feed better early and late. The ledges in the Intracoastal Waterway and the rocks at the Little River jetties should be good all month. Finally, shark fishing should provide plenty of excitement.Surf and Pier: Cherry Grove Pier (843-249-1625) predicts that a smorgasbord of species should be caught in July, including whiting, pompano, bluefish, black drum, sheepshead and flounder. Spanish mackerel fishing should get good this month, and when the water is clear and bait is nearshore king mackerel should cooperate.Nearshore: Captain Smiley Fishing Charters (843-361-7445) reports the Spanish mackerel fishing was only fair in June, but it should improve in July. Cobia, spadefish, and more should also be around.
