Whether you're new to saltwater fishing or looking to improve your technique, our charters provide the instruction and local insight that make the difference between a good day and a great day on the water.
Local Tips & Conditions
Charleston's tidal range creates excellent fishing opportunities, with moving water concentrating baitfish and gamefish around structure. The best fishing typically occurs during the two hours before and after tide changes, when fish are most active. Water temperatures remain fishable year-round, though spring and fall offer the most comfortable conditions and active bite. Our charters adjust to seasonal patterns, targeting different areas and species as conditions change throughout the year.
Wind direction plays a crucial role in Charleston fishing, with southwest winds often providing the calmest conditions and clearest water. Captain Mike monitors weather patterns closely, ensuring safe and productive trips while maximizing time on productive water. The area's extensive creek systems provide protection during windy conditions, allowing us to find fish even when offshore waters are rough.
Plan Your Fishing Charter Day
Our fishing charters include a fully equipped boat with all necessary safety equipment, tackle, bait, and ice for your catch. Trips accommodate up to six anglers, with departure times scheduled around optimal tidal conditions. We recommend bringing sunscreen, polarized sunglasses, and a cooler for any fish you'd like to keep. Captain Mike provides instruction on techniques, local regulations, and fish handling, ensuring both novice and experienced anglers have a successful and educational experience on Charleston's waters.
