## Resource

Red drum anglers in South Carolina brace for major changes starting July 1, 2026, as new regulations aim to rebuild a struggling fishery. Recreational limits are slashed: anglers can keep just one fish per person (down from two) and boats are limited to two total (down from six). Size limits shift to 18–25 inches (up from 15–23 inches). Natural bait users with large hooks must now use non-offset, non-stainless circle hooks when targeting red drum, cobia, or tarpon. These science-backed rules, crafted with angler and lawmaker input, prioritize long-term sustainability so future generations can still enjoy catching these prized fish.
