Stroupe Fishing Charters II

Experience excellent inshore and nearshore fishing that South Carolina has to offer with Stroupe Fishing Charters! Whether you’re coming here for a relaxing day on the water or you’re looking for some angling excitement, Captain Zack Stroupe is your guy. He’s been fishing for the most of his life, so he’ll know exactly what to do to put you on a bite.

These fishing grounds are the home of a wide array of species, and most of them you can target year-round. Redfish and Spotted Seatrout are usually most targeted, but you can also go after other local favorites like King Mackerel.

Capt. Zack offers several trip options that you can choose from, depending on your fishing appetite and free time. All levels and ages of anglers are welcome to join, so you can come with your kids and have a fun family outing.

Your fishing platform is a 23’ Sea Pro center console that is well-suited for nearshore fishing conditions and can accommodate up to 3 anglers. Capt. Zack will use onboard navigational electronics to get you to the bite, and you’ll have quality Penn equipment to reel your catch in. Lures and live bait are included in the price, as well as all the necessary licenses.

Whatever you decide to keep, the crew will clean, fillet, and package free of charge. For any help, you can turn to the experienced first mate, who’s in charge of showing you tricks and tips to attract your prey. Tips are always a great way to show your gratitude for his hard work.

Make sure to come prepared for your trip – bring plenty of drinks and food, sunscreen is a must, and sunglasses and hats will protect you from the sun while battling your catch. Leave everything else in the capable hands of Stroupe Fishing Charters! Winner of the Big Rock Blue Marlin Tournament, 2023

I have been doing Gulf Stream fishing for over 40 years and I enjoy taking people out and going after truly big catch! Fishing has been my passion ever since I was young, so, recently I decided to run charters for a living. I obtained my Captain License 2019 to make it official. I would love to take you and your family out for a memorable time on the water. Near shore fishing is fun fishing for king or Spanish mackerel, red drum, sea trout , sharks !
