Ashley River

Thinking of keeping a boat on the Ashley River. Is the fishing good there? or should I keep it some where else?

Ashley seems to have the dirtiest water of any of the local rivers.
To me that presents the biggest challenge to fishing it.

What is “good fishing” ? We kept our boat at Dolphin Cove for a couple of years and could always find fish on the Ashley. Some areas were better than others and some times were better than others. Was that good fishing? We enjoyed it. The only complaint would be boat traffic on weekends. Since there’s not many, if any, creeks to explore you have to stay on the main river and on weekends it gets pretty busy.

Thanks Sea Tonic,Just would like to have a place to store a boat without the problem of ramps.

Hokie; Ya might want to check out Rivers Edge Marina , it’s top notch and the fishing is usually pretty good. The 526 bridge structure will usually hold some reds and sheep , not a long ride to harbor with several creeks and bridges to fish along the way !!!

For inshore fishing purposes:
Wando
Cooper
Ashley
Stono

IMHO, In that order, YMMV.

There are no fish in the Stono. None.

How far away is your house? Is the Ashley convenient to you. From the Ashley you can be in many great places including the Ashley. Many people fish other areas because the Ashley River has a lot less structure and seems to be more prone to pollution than other areas. Its a beautiful river.

I guess I like a challenge;)

Thanks for all your input. I am thinking of River Edge Marina. Not much going on in the Stono right now, or I don’t know how to catch fish after 66 years. lol
