Highlights of Charleston Inshore Fishing
Charleston's extensive marsh system creates ideal habitat for redfish, with shallow flats warming quickly in spring and fall. The combination of tidal creeks, oyster bars, and grass beds provides structure that holds baitfish and attracts gamefish consistently. Our charters focus on sight fishing and light tackle techniques, allowing anglers to experience the excitement of watching redfish cruise shallow water.
Mount Pleasant's location provides easy access to both the Wando River system and Charleston Harbor, giving us multiple fishing options based on weather and tidal conditions. We adjust our approach seasonally, targeting different depths and structure as fish move with temperature changes and bait migrations.
Local Tips & Conditions
Charleston's tidal range creates strong current movement that concentrates baitfish around structure. We time our trips to fish the moving water, when redfish and trout feed most actively. Spring and fall offer the most consistent action, with fish feeding aggressively before and after summer's heat. Water clarity varies with tidal flow and recent weather, influencing our choice of baits and presentation techniques.
Wind direction affects our fishing locations significantly, with protected creeks providing alternatives when Charleston Harbor becomes choppy. Our local knowledge helps us find productive water regardless of conditions, ensuring every charter has fishing opportunities.
Plan Your Fishing Charter Day
Our charters include a well-equipped center console boat with all safety gear, tackle, and bait. We accommodate up to four anglers comfortably, with early morning departures typically providing the best fishing conditions. All fishing licenses are included, and we provide basic instruction for beginners while offering advanced techniques for experienced anglers. Bring sun protection, drinks, and snacks for longer trips.
