Inshore: Captain Patrick Kelly (843-962-3503) report that in July tailing redfish can be found on good flood tides when they are in the short grass eating fiddler crabs, and on moving tides fishing live or cut bait in areas where they can stay just out of the current is a good bet. Even though it can be a slower month for trout, they are more likely to be in moving water where they will eat live bait or trolled/ casted jigs. Flounder fishing can be good with live finger mullet or minnows, even though a lot of fish are likely to be short, and the rising tide often offers the best opportunities. Sheepshead fishing may get a little tougher this month after a good June, but expect to still find a mix of sizes including some nice keepers. Fishing fiddler crabs around docks or oyster beds is the best pattern. Migratory species like jacks, tripletail and tarpon have arrived and should be around until the fall. Finally, don’t overlook sharks which can provide a ton of action for anglers.
