Speckled Sea Trout are biting in the area using grubs & mud minnows. Some good spots to fish include, Parris Island, Daws Island & the Checheesse River. Mud minnows are also working well for Spottail Bass. The Reds can be found schooling in the shallows by looking for the tails skimming the top of the water. It’s a great time to fish them on the low tide. Black Drum to 8 pounds, on mud bottom, in the surf or still being taken on shrimp & mullet. Good Flounder fish’n can be had in the inlets, particularly in moving water at the mouths of creeks. Live shrimp works best for Flounder or with the water being very clear, it’s a great time to try gigging. BEAUFORT BOAT & DOCK SUPPLY is located on Ribaut Rd., in Port Royal. They’ve got lots of friendly folks to help with decisions about bait, tackle & hardware needs.
