Local Species Insights
Charleston's inshore waters support healthy populations of redfish, speckled trout, flounder, and black drum. The extensive salt marsh system provides nursery habitat and feeding areas that concentrate gamefish throughout the tidal cycle. Redfish are particularly abundant around oyster bars and creek edges, while speckled trout prefer grass flats and drop-offs near deeper water.
Seasonal patterns influence fish behavior and location. Spring and fall offer the most consistent action as fish move between shallow feeding areas and deeper winter haunts. Summer fishing focuses on early morning and evening trips when fish are most active. Captain Mike adjusts techniques and locations based on current conditions, tides, and fish activity to maximize your fishing success.
Plan Your Fishing Charter Day
Our fishing charters include all necessary equipment: rods, reels, tackle, bait, and safety gear. The boat accommodates up to six anglers comfortably with plenty of casting room and fish storage. Trips typically start early morning to take advantage of prime fishing times and favorable tide conditions. Bring sunscreen, hat, snacks, and drinks for your comfort on the water.
