After another summer in Alaska guiding, I could not wait to get back to Charleston South Carolina to fish with Capt. Mike Illig of Avid Angling Fishing Charters. As of last year, it was even more memorable. Capt. Mike’s ability to locate fish of many different species, fill our coolers, entertain us with superior equipment and overall quality of nearshore fishing surpassed many I have fished with. As a guide myself I am very critical of others, the most I can say about Mike is that he is professional, ethical, personable, and successful.

Charleston SC Trout Bite is Hot!

Saturday, November 14th, 2009

A few days of bad weather and small craft advisories didn’t slow the trout down in Charleston.  I went out to check some old holes and scout for some new ones and hit it just right!  The “honey hole” produced 2 nice trout in the first 2 casts so I left them there and went to a similar spot that I have been wanting to try.  That spot was going off too!  In 7 of  10 casts nice trout were caught and released.  One thing I noticed is that the outside of the meanders of the river had better structure (oyster shell banks) and steeper banks due to the faster currents.  The trout really seemed to like those spots, wheres good numbers of redfish held on the opposite banks where more flats were formed.  I was using shrimp for bait but switched to artificial baits for a while to experiment a bit.
