Summary

Wardle’s Landing Pier sits along a productive tidal creek on Fripp Island, offering classic Lowcountry inshore fishing. Strong tidal flow moves bait through the area, attracting redfish and flounder around pilings and channel edges. Success here depends heavily on tide timing rather than time of day.

Notes

• Current can be strong during peak tides

• Live shrimp and mud minnows are effective

Bottom Line

A solid inshore pier for anglers who understand tidal patterns.
