Recently move to the coastal sc area and have been trying to catch redfish to no avail. I’ve been out 6-7 times over the last couple weeks and all I have caught was a small flounder.
I’ve fished both inlets and creeks/rivers from land and water. I’ve been using frozen shrimp on a carolina rig with 1-2oz weights and gulp mullet on 1/4-1/2oz jigs. With the jigs I fish shallow water near the banks bouncing it off the bottom. I try to find oyster beds to drift by. I have seen a few fish cruising around in these locations but couldn’t tempt them. Are these fish particularly difficult to catch or am I doing something wrong? Any advice would be appreciated. Considering just getting a guide to show me the ropes.
Example location and setup included.

Reds love crustaceans. Try using live shrimp instead, or sieve some sand fleas, then find an oyster bed with a few holes around it or a channel nearby.
