Fishing Reports by Capt. Rick Percy

Catching them in Lowcountry around the fronts - The last month has been a challenge to say the least for charter guides in the lowcountry. We've had lots of rain, and the wind has blown a lot. Having said that, the bite has still been pretty fair. I had two trips this past week, and we put 21 Redf more...

Cold Weather Lowcountry Redfish - We have really struggled in the Lowcountry of South Carolina to get in some quality fishing time. As with the rest of the country, our winter has been tough to say the least. Cold temperatures, lots of rain, and wind have not been friendly to the gui more...

January is Redfish month - With the water temperatures dipping down below 50 now, our efforts have turned to Redfish on the flats. We are fishing them on low tides, as the sun tends to warm the mud and in turn the water, and the bite turns on. Have had several very good trips more...

Great bite in the Sound creeks - Have been doing very well the last few weeks with the redfish and trout. The redfish bite has been on the flats, next to the grass or oyster beds, with live shrimp or mud minnows under a Midcoast popping cork. The trout bite is in deeper creeks near more...

Bulls running hard in Port Royal Sound - We've had some fabulous trips this month catching big bull Redfish. These are the fish that stay in ocean, and come into the sound to spawn. They stay in the deep holes, and love rocks and live bottom. Catching them is not rocket science. Live menhad more...

Fall is fantastic in the Lowcountry - I love this time of year in the Lowcountry. The bite turns on both inside and nearshore. Have done very well on slot Redfish and a few trout on my last few inshore trips, and we have started in strong on the Bull Redfish. Had a trip yesterday and fis more...

Bull Reds coming into Port Royal Sound - We have been doing fairly well the last several weeks on inshore flats and creeks on the Redfish. One nice thing is the number of under slot Reds that are showing now as they leave the marshes where they have spent the first year of their lives. I ha more...

August temps and bites heat up in the Lowcountry - We've had some very hot weather in August so far, but the fishing has actually been very good. The inshore bite has really improved as the creek shrimp are starting to move, and have sized up to great bait size. A little bit of current, clean water, more...
