Fall Fishing for Redfish and Other Top Stories from Fishing on SI

Sports Illustrated’s Fishing on SI highlighted three of its most-read stories this week, drawing attention from redfish fly-fishing to a new major event idea in the Maldives. The top item looks at fall fly fishing for redfish in South Carolina’s Lowcountry, pointing to September through November as a standout period when cooler air arrives and fishing improves. Another story says the Maldives wants to become a “Monaco of sport fishing,” planning a boutique competition aimed at elite anglers next year with potential species including marlin, sailfish, tuna, wahoo and mahi-mahi. A third piece argues Charleston is the best winter destination for redfish, food and city life, citing its winter weather and dining scene.
