Highlights of Charleston Fishing Charter

Our charters accommodate both beginners and experienced anglers, with personalized instruction on local techniques like sight fishing the flats and working structure around docks and oyster beds.

Local Tips & Conditions
Charleston's inshore waters fish best during moving tides, particularly the two hours before and after high tide. Water temperatures stay comfortable for fishing most of the year, with spring and fall offering the most consistent action. Captain Mike adjusts fishing locations based on wind, tide, and seasonal patterns to ensure productive trips regardless of conditions.
Our shallow-draft boat allows access to skinny water flats where redfish feed during high tide, while deeper creek mouths and structure hold trout and flounder during low water periods. We fish year-round, with each season offering different opportunities and target species.
Plan Your Fishing Charter Day
Our fishing charters accommodate up to six anglers and include all necessary equipment, safety gear, and fishing licenses. Trips typically run four to six hours, with morning departures offering the best fishing conditions. We provide coolers with ice for your catch, and can arrange fish cleaning services at local marinas.
Captain Mike maintains all Coast Guard safety requirements and carries comprehensive insurance. Bring sunscreen, snacks, and drinks for your comfort during the trip. We recommend booking in advance, especially during peak fishing seasons in spring and fall.
