Fishing near Mount Pleasant, SC

Mount Pleasant sits in Charleston County at the confluence of the Cooper and Wando Rivers, where they merge into Charleston Harbor and the Atlantic. The result is a layered fishery: shallow tidal flats, salt-marsh creeks, freshwater rivers, nearshore reefs, and offshore bluewater. Shem Creek and the Wando River anchor the inshore scene, while the Santee-Cooper lakes sit roughly 55 miles northwest for trophy freshwater fishing.
