Highlights of Your Charleston Fishing Experience
Charleston's inshore waters offer excellent year-round fishing opportunities with diverse species and productive structure. Our local knowledge helps you target the most active fish based on current conditions, tides, and seasonal patterns. We fish shallow flats, creek mouths, and nearshore reefs where spotted weakfish, redfish, and other gamefish feed regularly.
All trips include professional instruction for beginners and advanced techniques for experienced anglers. We provide Penn and Shimano tackle, fresh bait, and all safety equipment required by the Coast Guard. Our boat accommodates small groups for a personalized fishing experience.
Local Tips & Conditions
Charleston's tidal creeks and inshore flats produce consistent action throughout the year, with peak fishing during moving tides. Water temperatures and bait movements determine the best fishing spots each day. Spring and fall offer the most comfortable weather conditions, while summer provides excellent early morning and evening fishing opportunities.
Spotted weakfish are commonly found around oyster bars and creek edges, especially during incoming tides. These fish respond well to live shrimp, soft plastics, and small jigs worked near structure. Local regulations require proper licensing, and we help ensure all guests fish within legal limits.
Plan Your Fishing Charter Day
Our fishing charter includes a well-maintained boat equipped with modern electronics, safety equipment, and comfortable seating for up to six anglers. We typically depart early morning to take advantage of prime fishing conditions and cooler temperatures. All necessary gear is provided, though you're welcome to bring your own tackle if preferred.
We recommend bringing sunscreen, polarized sunglasses, and a cooler with ice for your catch. Snacks and beverages are welcome aboard. Our captain will clean and bag your fish at the end of the trip, so you can take home a fresh dinner from Charleston's waters.
