About
Redfish, tarpon, sharks, cobia, trout, sheepshead and mackerals are available in these pristine waters at different times of the year. This estuary is protected by state and federal laws and the Port Royal Sound Foundation. These waters and marshes are among the cleanest and most productive in the world. Oysters, clams and shrimp abound.
More info
Large schools of baitfish arrive in early spring and the hungry predators show up with them. Fifteen to twenty species of shark arrive in May. These include tiger, hammerhead, bull, lemon and blacktip just to name a few. Port Royal Sound and the Broad River are the best places on the east coast to catch Cobia, Tarpon and Big Redfish. Get ready for plenty of great fishing excitement.
