The morning light along Charleston’s lowcountry arrives slow and brassy, pushing along tidal creeks that smell faintly of mud and salt. On the deck of a familiar RedFin skiff the harbor slips away and the marsh opens like a map: oyster bars, grass flats, and narrow inlets that hold redfish like secrets. The captain checks lines, the cooler hums with ice and water, and the expectation of a solid day of inshore fishing settles in with the tide.
