Finally decided to try to chime in and say hi.
Very interested in learning what I can about Surf Fishing year 'round in the Charleston SC area.

What is biting when?
Migration patterns of what is moving through.
What tactics work best with which tide?
Keep the hooks in close or cast to the horizon?

Welcome aboard. Right now you should be catching spots. They have passed us. Choice of bait is fresh shrimp and the red bloodworms. You don’t have to cast to far out. Also the mullets are running fresh shrimp and the green fish bite shrimp. Use a #3 XL shank. It’s easier to get out. Bottom fishing. After the cold sets in and the water temperature is down trout will run strong on either tide. If you are pier fishing go to the back. Also when the trout run look for a strange film in the water. Somehow they give off a film which is very clear to see if they are close enough. I am not sure why they do that but an old gentleman told me it’s to attract bait.

When trout are feeding in a school here a oily film forms from all the bait fish they slaughter. If you have a fast sinking lure (jig) you can catch bigger trout near bottom where chunks of baitfish is sinking. The thought on that is big trout are lazy and lurk below. ??

That's the same with Bluefish and Stripers in the summer, up here. The Blues tear up the Bunker like a buzz saw, and the larger Stripers hang below the school and eat all the scraps sinking to the bottom. There's also an oil slick on the surface.

Good news. So it’s best to fish the bottom when this happens?

The theory is, that the big fish got that way by not burning a lot of calories getting their food. They just wait for it to come to them. Kinda like some overweight people I know.

LOL. That is so true. My oldest son and I were in Piggly Wiggle’s getting steaks and a little girl who look to be no more than 11 or 12 weight look to be about 130 to 140 and a hand full of junk food to put in her mom buggy.

LOL you can’t help it. I was at an eye appointment the other day with the wife. A very talk lady walks in healthy size with blue Jean shorts up her behind and long rubber boots with a Jean jacket on. She knew she was cute lol.
