What's Biting at Clambank Creek
Activity ratings reflect typical feeding seasons — not legal seasons. Regulations, closures, and size/bag limits change; always check current SCDNR regulations before keeping any fish.
Whiting (Southern Kingfish)
Menticirrhus americanus
Season: Spring through fall; the most reliable surf fish on the Gulf and South Atlantic
Baits: Fresh dead shrimp, Sand fleas, Cut squid
Small hooks, small baits, close in. Whiting feed in the first trough and the wash, often within a long cast of dry sand, on a rising tide. A two-hook bottom rig with a pyramid or bank sinker, left still, is all it takes. Good eating and no size pressure, so a great starter target.
Bluefish
Pomatomus saltatrix
Season: Spring and fall runs along the beach; summer offshore
Baits: Cut menhaden, Metal spoons and jigs, Topwater plugs
When blues are blitzing bait in the surf you will see birds working and bait spraying; throw a metal or a popper into it. Wire or heavy mono leader, because they bite through everything else and through each other. Bleed and ice them immediately if you plan to eat them.
Spanish Mackerel
Scomberomorus maculatus
Season: Spring and fall runs
Baits: Silver spoons, Gotcha plugs, Live pilchards
Find birds working bait and cast fast-moving metal through the frenzy. Wire or heavy fluoro — their teeth are scissors.
King Mackerel
Scomberomorus cavalla
Season: Spring and fall, when water is in the 70s
Baits: Live menhaden or bluefish, Slow-trolled ribbonfish, Spoons
From ocean piers, the classic setup is a live bait suspended off the end on a trolley rig under a float. Wire leader and treble stinger hooks; a king hits from behind and bites a bait in half. From a boat, slow-troll live baits along color changes and over nearshore structure.
Redfish
Sciaenops ocellatus
Season: Year-round, best in fall
Baits: Cut mullet, Live shrimp, Gold spoons
Sight-fish tailing reds on shallow flats on a flooding tide. Fall schools push bait against oyster bars and grass edges.
