March winds came in like a Lion and saltwater anglers are glad to be done with the windiest month of the year. Water temperatures remained cool due to cold snaps and cool nights, but those temps will rise quickly in April and the bait will respond with vigor. From tiny minnows in the shallows and creek shrimp on the mud flats, as these baits continue to grow the gamefish will seek them out. Adding time spent on the water back into a life’s schedule is the first step to getting back into the rhythm of catching fish.

Capt. Brian Hawkins of HawkinsFishingCharters.com on Folly Beach is a veteran guide who gives back to the community. “Each year I donate guided fishing trips to organizations like Toys for Tots, Marsh Tacky Horses, and Coonhound Rescue with the hope that it may help someone come and experience the saltwater fishery,” said Hawkins. “We just had the first flood tide of the year, and when inshore water temps hit 65-degrees, the redfish will respond by splitting into smaller groups and becoming more active.”
