Season is open!
The stripers are still 35 to 45 foot. fish with a Carolina rig with live herring or live shad. Fish right above the Fish for your best results. Also, this time of year there’s a chance to see some schooling activity under the seagulls. Cast quarter ounce buck tails and soft plastic jigs like the Charlie Brewer Slider Tennessee shad for your best results.
Plenty of fish are still being caught drifting in 20-30ft. As well as fish moving into the deeper 45-50 plus ft preparing for the cooler weather. Santee cooper rigs with fresh herring are the bait of choice.
The redfish and speckled trout bite is fire on the cooper river. Soft plastics like the new Charlie Brewer Slider Electric Chicken will be a good choice. Fish the creek mouths and grass lines.
