Spend a lovely day on the water with Fishing Charleston 101. Starting out of Mount Pleasance, you’ll go and explore nearby rivers, inshore waters, flats, as well as backcountry waters and chase a variety of interesting fish. Captain Carlo will guide you and give you all the help you need to have a memorable trip.

Your trip will start on a 17’ Ranger Ghost Flats center console that can sit 2 guests. It’s powered by a 70 HP Mercury engine with a maximum cruising speed of 30 knots. The boat uses a GPS, fishfinder, and radio system for safe and quick navigation, and has got a livewell to supply you with live bait.

The wide range of fish that you’ll have the chance to catch includes Spotted Seatrout, Shark, Striped Bass, Redfish, 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 Carlo 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 Carlo welcome you to Charleston SC. Pay them a visit and have a beautiful time on the water!

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.

Fish On! Doubled Up, Are You Ready?
March 30, 2024
Morning started out calm, but by the end, it was blowing, and the fish were chewing. Both anglers caught their personal best sized red fish on the trip. One 39 incher and the other 33 inches in shallow water on light tackle. Fishing can be difficult sometimes, but thankfully, this trip was a great success! I am looking forward to seeing you on the water and sharing decades of saltwater fishing experience to give your fishing trip every opportunity to be successful. Tight Lines!
