Kayak Fish James Island
The grassy marshland that lines the West Ashley and James Island side of Charleston harbor is rife with sea trout and redfish . A kayak ’ s silence and stealth allow anglers a closer approach to their prey than in a motorized craft . Focus on the mouths of small feeder creeks opening up into the harbor , or just troll an electric chicken lure behind your kayak and paddle along the grass line against the current . The Holy City ’ s profile across the water provides an excellent backdrop for photographs of you with your catch . We suggest putting in at the infrequently used Sunrise Park . Take the James Island Expressway to exit # 2 and go southeast on Harbor View Rd . for 3 miles until it dead ends . Turn left onto Fort Johnson Rd . and go northeast half a mile , then turn left onto Wildwood Rd . to the end and left onto Wampler Dr . Stay on Wampler Dr . until you see the parking area for Sunrise Park on the right .
