Local Species Insights
Charleston's inshore waters support a healthy population of gamefish throughout the year. Sheepshead are particularly abundant around the area's numerous docks, bridges, and jetties, especially during their spawning season in early spring. These structure-oriented fish require precise presentations with fiddler crabs, shrimp, or oysters as preferred baits.
The surrounding salt marshes and grass flats provide excellent habitat for redfish and spotted seatrout. These species feed actively during moving tides, making timing crucial for success. Local anglers also target flounder in the deeper channels and black drum around oyster beds during cooler months.
Plan Your Fishing Charter Day
Our fishing charters depart from convenient Charleston-area marinas with easy parking and amenities. We provide all fishing equipment, tackle, and bait, though you're welcome to bring personal gear if preferred. Trips typically accommodate up to six anglers with comfortable seating and shade options. We recommend bringing sun protection, drinks, and snacks for longer trips. South Carolina fishing licenses can be purchased online or at local tackle shops before your charter.
