Our charters focus on light tackle techniques that maximize the fight and enjoyment of each catch.

Local Species Insights
Charleston's inshore waters support healthy populations of redfish, spotted seatrout, flounder, and black drum throughout the year. Redfish are particularly abundant around oyster bars and marsh edges, where they feed on crabs and shrimp during moving tides. These copper-colored gamefish provide excellent sport on light spinning tackle and are known for their powerful runs and stubborn fights.
Spotted seatrout prefer grass flats and sandy bottoms where they ambush baitfish and shrimp. Spring and fall offer the most consistent trout action, with fish averaging 14-18 inches and occasional specimens reaching 20+ inches. Both species respond well to live bait and artificial lures when presented properly.
