Charleston's diverse fishing opportunities include productive inshore flats, nearshore reefs, and seasonal offshore action. Our charters focus on reading water conditions, understanding tidal movements, and positioning near structure where gamefish concentrate. Captain Mike's knowledge of local fishing patterns helps identify the most productive areas based on season, weather, and recent fishing reports.
We welcome anglers of all experience levels, from families introducing children to fishing to experienced anglers seeking local expertise. All trips include rod and reel setups appropriate for target species, fresh bait, tackle, and basic instruction for those new to saltwater fishing techniques.
Charleston's fishing success depends heavily on understanding tidal movements, seasonal migrations, and weather patterns. Spring and fall typically offer the most consistent action as baitfish move through local waters, attracting larger predator species. Summer fishing often focuses on early morning and late afternoon trips to avoid midday heat, while winter charters target deeper structure and moving water.
Water clarity, wind direction, and recent weather all influence fishing strategy. Our local knowledge helps adapt techniques and locations based on current conditions, whether that means switching from live bait to artificial lures or moving from shallow flats to deeper channels. We monitor marine forecasts closely and communicate any weather-related schedule changes well in advance.
Our fishing charters depart from convenient Charleston-area marinas with easy parking and restroom facilities. We recommend arriving 15-20 minutes before departure time for a brief safety overview and equipment check. Trips typically accommodate 2-6 anglers depending on boat configuration and fishing style preferences.
What's included: all fishing equipment, bait and tackle, South Carolina fishing licenses, safety equipment, and basic fish cleaning service. Guests should bring sun protection, snacks, drinks, and weather-appropriate clothing. We provide coolers with ice for keeping your catch fresh throughout the trip.
