Folly Beach to Edisto Island Fishing Report For September – Capt John Ward

It’s September, shorter days cooler temperatures hopefully the start of college football and kids going back to school, begins the start of fall and the best fishing season in the low country.

Tons of bait everywhere and the water is alive, the bite inshore and nearshore has really picked up in the last couple of weeks.

Inshore on the cleaner water days have been producing great numbers of larger trout, ladyfish, jacks, blues and redfish on the higher tides using live bait under popping corks.

At low tide we are still battling the bait thieves, but getting some nice red drum, flounder and black drum fishing live and cut bait around structure.

With great numbers of bait funneling through the inlets there have been tons of: sharks, tarpon, and jacks exploding on schools of bait.
