What would you recommend to anglers fishing in Mount Pleasant, South Carolina for the first time?

Plan to dress warm in the morning and shed clothes as the day goes on. The boat we went on will do 20 plus knots so we were glad we layered. I like inshore trips because I’ve sailed blue water all my life and after over 60 years of doing it, I’ve had enough beatings.

September and the fall season is a great time to fish this area. There is action in the surf, inshore and offshore depending on what you’re targeting. Visit Haddrells Point for all the expert advice and supplies you need.

Go for the trophy fish in the summer months, shark and bull reds. It is too hot to fish the creeks necessary for trout or smaller reds suitable for eating. The water temperature makes the fish sluggish. Save that type of fishing for colder months.

Yes, the weather was excellent - not too hot and not too cold. I would recommend booking a trip on a weekday if possible. It was so peaceful and enjoyable out on the water; we only saw 3-4 other boats all afternoon.

We did the 4 hour outer bank's because we had small kids and that was good for them the captain took us to some good spots so they caught some nice fish next time I want to do the half day with the teens and adults we had an awesome captain and crew ready to go again

We fished from 2pm to 7pm. We had luck with black drum and red fish under the docks with shrimp fishing on the floor...we caught the largest spotted trout with shrimp on floating corks near the shorelines between 6pm and 7pm when the wind was calm.

Make sure you wear shoes that can get wet. Bring sunscreen, sunglasses and a hat - you will be in the sun.

Captain Joe was very knowledgeable. He also told us where to go to get our fish cleaned and cooked. It was amazing.

Fishing here in august is very dependent on water temperatures and tides, be mindful of the dates before planning a charter!

Lots of fun. Caught a Cobia and a stingray. Catching lots of fish in the heat of July could be hard and day to day.

Fish early or late. It gets hot if there isn’t a breeze or cloud cover. Spring and fall appear to be peak for most fish in backwaters of the river systems.

Go to a local bait shop and interact with the locals they’ll give you the tips you need to have a great experience.

We always enjoy our trips to Mt Pleasant. This was our first charter and we have been missing out all this time.

The morning trip was great, it was perfect weather early in the day. Wear good water shoes because our feet got wet but you want to make sure you have secure footwear while reeling in the fish.

Our fishing experience had nothing to do with the month. It was the Capt. in his unwillingness to be productive he was lazy and hung over.

It's still early in the season, be patient with your captain and enjoy what you get and the experience, and have fun.

For the first time angler, I do recommend going with a fishing charter in order to lessen the likelyhood of having a disappointment.

I would recommend inshore half day. Contact Capt. Jeremy for recommendation on which time would be best. He is dedicated to you catching fish.

Ask locals when a good time to go is...the moon and tides have a lot to do with how good the fishing is

Listen to your captain if you want to catch the fish. It’s called fishing, not catching!

My first time fishing in Mount Pleasant was great. Try it and you won't be let down.

I would recommend June. From what the captain says, it's a bit more active then.

This time of year you never know what the weather will be, that’s my only complaint.

I would recommend Marsh View Fishing Charters. The weather is also pleasant this time of year

Just kick back and relax and enjoy it all!! Because me and my husband sure did!!!

Our experience was terrific. Matt does a great job. I can’t wait to charter him again.

Go to Haddrell tackle, they will tell you what's bitting, bait to use and areas to fish.
