Highlights of Charleston Fishing
Charleston's extensive marsh system and nearby reefs create ideal habitat for multiple gamefish species year-round.

Local Tips & Conditions
Charleston's fishing success depends heavily on tidal movement and seasonal patterns. Spring and fall offer the most consistent action as baitfish migrate through our waters. Summer brings excellent early morning and evening fishing, while winter requires targeting deeper holes and structure during warmer periods.
Water clarity varies with tides and weather, affecting lure selection and presentation techniques. Our local knowledge includes understanding how wind direction impacts different fishing areas, allowing us to find protected waters when conditions become challenging. We monitor weather forecasts closely and communicate any necessary trip adjustments well in advance.
The Charleston area's diverse structure includes oyster beds, grass flats, creek mouths, and nearshore reefs. Each environment requires different approaches, from light tackle sight fishing in shallow water to heavier gear around structure. Captain Mike matches tackle and techniques to current conditions for optimal success.
