Night Tide Charters is not your ordinary fishing charter. It runs nighttime spearing trips.

The trip starts when you board their 19’ Carolina Skiff. This flats boat is perfect for shallow waters, backcountry, and inshore spots you’ll be visiting. She’s refurbished for nighttime fishing and has custom lighting, a trolling motor, a quiet inverter generator, and a 2020 90 HP Suzuki engine. The boat accommodates up to 4 guests, so you can share this trip with your friends and loved ones.

You’ll go after Flounder, Sheepshead, and Black Drum, as they are the best night targets. Since it’s impossible to leave the fish unharmed using a gig, you’ll get to keep the catch. There’s no cleaning service that late at the marina, so it’s best to bring your cooler and clean the fish the day after.

They will arm you with Cosson stainless gigs with hardened cobalt tips. They also cover your fishing license, but feel free to bring some other beverages and your favorite snacks. Dress properly, as it can get chilly out there during the fall and winter.
