November Fishing Report 2026

Inshore Fishing with Captain John of | Folly Beach Fishing Charters

November is one of the most exciting months for inshore fishing around Folly Beach and Charleston, South Carolina. As cooler temperatures move into the Lowcountry, water temperatures begin to drop, baitfish patterns change, and several popular inshore species become excellent targets for anglers.

At Folly Beach Fishing Charters, November is a great time to get out on the water with Captain John and experience some of the best seasonal fishing Charleston has to offer.

Redfish Fishing Around Folly Beach

Redfish remain one of the primary targets throughout November. As water temperatures cool, schools of redfish can become more concentrated, creating opportunities for some excellent fishing.

Look for redfish around oyster beds, creek mouths, docks, deeper holes, and marsh edges. On cooler days, fish may move into deeper water and gather in larger schools.

Live shrimp and cut bait can produce fish depending on conditions. Paying attention to moving tides and water clarity can make a big difference.

Speckled Trout Fishing

November is also an excellent month to target speckled trout in the Charleston area. Trout often begin transitioning toward deeper creeks, channels, and areas with good current flow as temperatures drop.

Live shrimp under a popping cork can be productive, while artificial paddle-tail plastics and suspending lures are also effective options.

Finding the right combination of water depth, current, and baitfish activity is important when targeting November speckled trout.

Sheepshead Fishing

Sheepshead fishing starts getting more attention as we move deeper into fall. These hard-fighting fish are commonly found around docks, pilings, bridges, oyster structure, and other areas with barnacles and crustaceans.

Fiddler crabs, shrimp, and oysters are excellent bait choices. Sheepshead are known for stealing bait, so detecting subtle bites and using the right tackle is essential.
