Charleston has been named one of the 12 Best US Fishing Cities for 2020 by FishingBooker!
The holiday season’s over and a new decade has begun. It’s time to look ahead at what 2020 will bring, and plan our next fishing trips. While we love small towns and remote waters that have an “untouched” charm, there’s not much to do once the trip is over. With that in mind, FishingBooker revealed its list of the best US fishing cities for 2020, and Charleston is one of them!
Why did Charleston make our list?
Anyone who’s cast a line in the local waters of Charleston won’t be surprised to find the city topping this list for the second year in a row. The shallow grass beds of the Lowcountry are famous for their big Red Drum, Flounder, and Seatrout. The city also has a solid Tarpon bite. It’s not all about the inshore action, though. Local reefs hold Snapper and Grouper. Past that, you can find Tuna, Sailfish, Marlin, and more.
The first thing to do in Charleston is to enjoy how beautiful it is. Take in the Antebellum mansions, cobbled streets, and live oaks. You should also visit the Old Slave Mart Museum to learn about the city’s – and the nation’s – history. Feeling hungry? Sample local Gullah cuisine, full of spices and piled high with shrimp, fish, rice, and okra. Round things off with some live jazz and a refreshing cocktail to beat the evening heat.
