Spend an exciting day on the water with Fishing Charleston 101. Starting out of Cooper River Marina, you'll go and explore nearby rivers, inshore waters, flats, as well as backcountry waters and chase a variety of interesting fish. Captain Carl will guide you and give you all the help you need to have a memorable trip.

Your trip will start on a 2024 24' Bulls Bay center console 6 guests. It's powered by a 250 HP Suzuki engine with a maximum cruising speed of 30 knots. The boat uses a trolling motor, power-pole, GPS, fish finder, and radio system for safe and quick navigation, and has got a live well to supply you with live bait.

The wide range of fish that you'll have the chance to catch includes Redfish (one of the most exciting inshore fishing to catch), Spotted Seatrout, Flounder, Sheepshead, Striped Bass, Sharks, Rays, and more. Using light tackle, you'll catch by spinning, jigging, and popping. You can choose whether you'll keep or release your catch and you're free to bring kids on your trip.

Captain Carl will take care of all the rods, reels, tackle, live bait, and lures you'll need for the trip. He'll provide fishing licenses as well, so you should only bring the food and drinks of your choice.

Fishing Charleston 101 and Captain Carl welcome you to Charleston SC. Pay them a visit and have a beautiful time on the water!

Thank you for the great review Jay! It was a pleasure fishing with you and Jayce. We boated one big redfish and hooked a few more monster reds that didn't make it in the boat. Sharks, rays, sea bass, and toad fish were a plenty today and Yall did an excellent job landing those fish!

Born and bred in Southern Louisiana, fishing is at the core of Captain Carlo's soul. He's told that he was born with a rod in his hand and there isn't a time he can remember when he didn't have an extreme passion for fishing. He currently has over 30 years of true saltwater experience and he's fished inshore, nearshore, and offshore from Virginia to Florida, Florida to Texas, and various other countries around the world. He has and still tournament fishes for most sport fish on the East Coast and Gulf Coast. Such sport fish include species such as Blue Marlin, Mahi, Wahoo, Tuna, King Mackerel, Redfish, Trout, Flounder, and Sheepshead. Captain Carlo's a 100-ton master which means he knows how to operate a vessel properly and safely. He proudly served in USN and the safety of his guest is his number one concern on the water.
