Saltwater
Beaufort
Spottail Bass: Good. Fish are spread out and feeding aggressively on the large mullet schools. Flounder: Good. Flounder are in the inlets and beginning to be caught throughout the creeks. Fish mud minnows along the bottom. Cobia: Very good. Fish are being caught on all types of baits, such as menhaden, eels, squid, and whiting. Sight fishing with plugs has been off and on, and the fish have been willing to take flies at times, too. Puglisi fly patterns have worked the best.
* Paradise Pier: Some decent whiting have been caught as well as black tip sharks and stingrays.
Offshore: Black Sea bass and snapper are still available at offshore reefs, although guides report catching lots of snapper before they get a legal 20 inch keeper. Out at the 20 mile mark kings and Spanish mackerel are being caught, as well as cobia.
Hilton Head
Spottail Bass: Tailing action is strong around high tide and will continue to improve all summer. On the incoming tide fish the edges of the grass with rattle floats and natural colored Gulp Shrimp to catch slot sized fish as well as larger ones. Also use brown Gulp Swimming Minnows, or mud minnows. Trout: Good. Trout fishing continues to be surprisingly strong in the marshes and backwaters. Incoming to high tide is the best time to fish. Shrimp and mud minnows fished under Cajun Thunder rattling bobbers, or Gulp grubs, are producing. Flounder: Fair. Best fishing is around low tide in the same areas as the spottails and trout, or in the mouths of creeks and inlets.
Offshore: Spanish mackerel, bluefish, and jacks are all being caught in the Gaskins Bank reef area.
Little River
Spottail Bass: Fair. Anglers are catching spottail bass along structure in the ICW, around creek mouth drains, and in the upper creeks using live mud minnows and Berkeley Gulp. Flounder: Excellent. Flounder continue to be caught in Cherry Grove and 53rd area creeks using mud minnows. Sheepshead: Very good. Sand fleas and fiddler crabs are both very productive around the jetties and any inshore pilings. Spanish mackerel: Very good. Spanish are being caught just off the jetties in good numbers.
Cherry Grove Pier
Nice flounder are being caught off the pier, with occasional large spottails. The hot bite right now is black drum.

Mud minnows, live or cut mullet, and cut shrimp are all producing. Trout: Good. Trout fishing is hot at the Sunset Bridge. Try Mirrolures, Gulp shrimp, or live shrimp. Flounder: Very good. Drift or troll live mud minnows in Murrells Inlet or the Tubbs Inlet area. Black Drum: Very good. Target deep holes in the creeks, such as the hole off the end of the Murrells Inlet (old Veterans) Pier. Cut shrimp, live shrimp, and crabs are all productive. Bluefish: Good. Some large bluefish are being caught in the creeks. Cut bait fished on the bottom or on "bluefish rigs" is producing. Sheepshead: Excellent. Fiddler crabs and live or cut shrimp on a Carolina rig fished vertically are producing. Pompano: Very good. With sand fleas in areas that have not been dredged for best results.
* Piers: The Spanish mackerel and bluefish run has slowed down, and the blues being caught now are small.
Springmaid Pier: Early and late in the day Spanish are being caught. Some bluefish are still being caught, with a few good ones mixed in.
Myrtle Beach State Park Pier: Spanish are still being caught in good numbers by fishermen jigging. Small bluefish and decent sized whiting are also being landed.

Offshore: Spadefish are prolific at the near shore reefs, such as the Sherman wreck, and large numbers are being caught using jelly ball teasers to draw the fish up and then fishing with pieces of cut jelly balls. The 3 mile reef has been very good. King and Spanish mackerel are stacked up at Belkie Bear and Paradise Reef.
Charleston
Spottail Bass: Very good. Lots of fish are also being caught in the ICW, creeks, and Wando River. Some monster spottails are being caught out around the Charleston jetties fishing cut bait. Trout: Good. Both live bait and artificials are productive at times, and best fishing is coming to the north of Charleston. Black Drum: Good. A surprising number of black drum are being caught in deep holes in the creeks. Live and cut shrimp and crabs are all working. Flounder: Good. Target flounder using live mud minnows fished slowly on the bottom in the inlets and creeks. Giggers are reporting good numbers of fish caught. Sheepshead: Very good. Fish fiddler crabs or cut shrimp. Spanish Mackerel: Very good. The Harbor is full of Spanish mackerel right now. Use most anything shiny and fast.
* Folly Beach Pier: Nice black drum are being landed, and a dozen or so trout have been caught in the last week. An occasional flounder is being pulled up, and whiting are still prolific.
Offshore: Spadefish are swarming at nearshore reefs and wrecks, and Haddrell's Point says they've never seen so many jelly balls - use pieces of these for bait. Wahoo fishing is still good, although not as strong as last year.

Freshwater Report
Mountains Area
Lake Jocassee
Trout: Very good. Very nice catches of large rainbow trout are being reported trolling in 50 - 70 feet of water using trolling spoons or large plugs; also pull large live shiners in the same zone. Night fishing continues to be productive with large fish and good numbers being caught; troll the rivers for best success. Black Bass: Excellent. Early morning the best action is coming on topwater lures until the sun gets high around 9 or 10 a.m. By 10 a.m. move out to deeper water and throw soft plastics along 10 - 15 foot drop offs on main and secondary points.
Lake Keowee
Largemouth and Spotted Bass: Very good. Early and late topwater action is very good, and Lake Fork Swimbaits and Lucky Craft Sammys fished around boat docks, points and in the backs of coves are productive. Later in the day shallow running crankbaits in 5 to 25 feet and Carolina rigged or shaky head worms in 15 to 40 feet are working. Crappie: Good. Crappie have moved out to 30-40 feet of water and can be caught fishing up against bridge pilings at night. Bream: Good. Fish live crickets, minnows, and worms in 5 to 15 feet of water.
Lake Hartwell
Striped and Hybrid Bass: Very good. Fish in 50-60 feet of water with downrods set at 20 to 25 feet. Try out lead core line and lures such as Cisco Kid and other similar ones as the thermocline may be developing quicker than ever. Largemouth Bass: Very good. In the early morning use topwater lures along points, and as the sun gets higher switch to shaky head worms and Carolina rigs in 20 to 30 feet of water. Bream: Good. Bream have moved into very shallow water and are feeding aggressively.
Chattooga River
Trout: Good. Fly Fishing report: The dry fly season is winding down, and fishermen are starting to head north for colder waters. The area from Pig Pen Creek up to the North Carolina border should still hold trout, though, and dry flies like the Light Hendrickson, Light Cahill, Addams, and lighter caddis flies tied out of elkhair should produce.
Piedmont Area
Lake Russell
Largemouth and Spotted Bass: Good. Overall the topwater bite has been strong first thing, and then later anglers are having to fish deep around the trees. Try Carolina Rigging or fishing finesse worms in 15 to 20 feet of water, and green pumpkinseed and purple worms are good choices, as is watermelon color. Jigs are also a good choice. Crappie: Fair. There are reports of decent numbers of crappie being caught trolling up Beaverdam Creek in the late evening. Bream: Good. Fish have already moved into shallow water.
Lake Thurmond
Striped and Hybrid Bass: Very good. Striper fishing in 45 feet of water under the 378 bridge is very strong using live herring. Cut bait fished around points is also producing. Largemouth Bass: Good. Early in the morning bass are being caught around secondary points using Zara Spooks. Crappie: Good. Look for brush in 20 to 25 feet of water; minnows are producing better than jigs. Shellcracker: Excellent. Use red worms, pink worms, and crickets.
Savannah River
Striped/ Hybrid Bass: Hit or miss. When the correct gates are open on the Lake Thurmond Dam action can be fast, but at other times fish are not feeding.
Lake Wylie
Largemouth Bass: Fair. First thing in the morning fish topwater Pop-Rs over main channel points in about 8 feet of water. After 10 a.m. or so move deeper and fish the drops using Carolina rigs with an extra long leader- a strong color is watermelon seed dipped in chartreuse glow dye. White Perch: Good. Fish in 18-24 feet of water next to river channels and look for sandy bottoms. Use a minnow or small spoon lowered to the bottom and then bumped slowly; crickets will also work. Shellcracker: Very good. Fish deep drops using red worms fished on a dead line. Catfish: Excellent. Catfishing is easy right now and anglers are tearing up the fish using mussels, shrimp, and stinkbaits.
Midlands Area
Lake Greenwood
Largemouth Bass: From very early until 8 a.m. topwaters and floating worms are productive fished around blocks walls, drops, and riprap. Later in the day fishing is tougher and anglers are targeting ledges with Carolina rigs and finesse worms. Striped Bass: Fair. A few anglers are catching fish with bucktail jigs trolled in 30 feet of water. Crappie: Very slow. Crappie have moved out over deep brush piles and are also occasionally being caught drifting over deep water. Bream: Good to very good. Use crickets and worms fished in 3-5 feet around docks and tree tops. Catfish: Very good. Fish on the bottom using cut bait or worms in 12 to 15 feet of water, and try fishing at night.
Lake Murray
Striped Bass: Good. Use down rods baited with live herring, although some fishermen are being just as productive suspending cut herring at the depth they mark the fish in the same areas. Deep humps and the towers are both productive, and lower lake creeks are also productive. Largemouth Bass: Tough. Early in the day fish topwaters like pencil poppers, Zara Spooks, Sammys, and flukes. Later in the day switch to Carolina or Texas rigging with larger worms in the 8 inch range off points. Crappie: Poor. Check deep brushpiles. Shellcracker: Good. 8 to 12 feet of water caught on crickets or worms. Bream: Very good. Bream are still shallow. Use crickets. Catfish: Good. Cut herring and nightcrawlers are producing over most any area of the lake from the campground down to the dam.

Striped Bass: Fair. Some striper have been caught in the river but overall fishing is still down. Throw large plugs, topwater poppers, or fish live shad or herring under corks or on the bottom. Catfish: Good. Lots of catfish are being reported caught between Corley Mill and the zoo. Fish cut herring, other cut fish, or nightcrawlers on the bottom in deep holes. Shellcracker: Good. Fish deep holes.
Lake Wateree
Largemouth Bass: Tough. The most successful patterns seem to be throwing soft plastics - both floating worms and Texas rigged worms - around grass and docks. The best bite is early. Night fishing with dark plastic worms around heavy brush is also successful. Catfish: Very good. Large fish can be caught on cut bait almost anywhere along the river channel from the upper lake down to the dam. Bream: Very good. Fish 1 to 5 feet of water using worms and crickets.
Santee Cooper System
Lake Marion

Try to locate brush in 25 to 30 feet and fish minnows vertically. Bream and Shellcracker: Very good. Fish shallow using worms and crickets.
Diversion Canal
Bream and Shellcracker: Very good. The bite is best when water is being pulled through the canal. Catfish: Very good. Flathead catfish up to 50 and 60 pounds are being caught in the canal at night. Anchor or slowly drift cut bait. Bass: Good. Largemouth are stacked in the canal around drops where the water goes from shallow to 15 feet almost vertically.
Lake Moultrie
Largemouth Bass: Fair. Try deep Carolina or Texas rigging. Catfish: Very good. Drifting is productive, as well as anchoring and fishing cut bait on the bottom when the lake is too calm to drift. Best catches are coming using cut mullet and herring. Crappie: Fair. Look for structure in 20 to 25 feet of water and fish minnows vertically. Bream and shellcracker: Very good.
