While the fishing right now isn’t quite as good at the top of the South Carolina coast as the two previous weeks, perhaps because of the heat, Captain Buddy Love of Captain Smiley Fishing Charters (843-361-7445) reports that they continue to catch some really nice flounder. This fish came on a mud minnow fished on the falling tide in about 3 feet of water. Overall the high falling tide continues to be the most productive time to fish, pretty much regardless of when it falls during the day.
