Folly Beach Fishing welcomes you to Folly Beach, South Carolina! Treat yourself to a fun and enjoyable fishing trip to this first-class destination. Along with the friendly Captain Kevin Blair, you’ll most often fish inshore but will have the option to fish nearshore and enjoy the beauty of the Atlantic Ocean. Book today and let Folly Beach Fishing take you on a true fishing adventure.

You’ll fish from a fine 25’ Sea Fox center console powered by a 250 HP Yamaha engine. It can sit up to 6 guests and uses modern navigation technology, which includes GPS, fishfinder, and radio. There’s an onboard livewell to supply you with live bait, as well as a wireless trolling motor used for a more stealthy approach.

There’s a huge choice of fish you can target. There’s Redfish, Speckled Trout, Flounder, Whiting, Spanish Mackerel, Sheepshead, Shark, and many more. You’ll use light tackle for most of your trip. You can keep the fish you catch and take it home for some delicious meals. This doesn’t apply to sharks as they’re catch and release only. Also, feel free to bring along kids, it can be a wonderful experience for them and everybody will have more fun with them around.

The captain supplies you with all the rods, reels, and tackle. When possible, live bait will be caught before your charter. On 4- and 6-hour charters, the captain will clean and fillet your catch. He’ll also provide cold bottled water and fishing licenses.

Please note: The departure time for all trips may vary due to fishing conditions; the exact time is determined by the captain, who will notify the customer of any changes prior to the trip.

Have a lot of angling fun with Folly Beach Fishing!

Redfish and Speckled Trout fishing has been great for the past few days. We've been fishing with minnows and shrimp under float rigs around creek mouths and marsh grass. The water is cooling which signals to the fish that its time to fatten up for our short winter. For anglers that wish to cast artificial lures this is absolutely the best time of year to do it. Whatever your preferences are I will do my best to put together an exciting and fun filled trip for you. Let's go fishing!

Todd and Calvin are 2 fisherman from Colorado that usually spend their time in the mountains casting for Trout. Today I introduced them to Redfish by showing them how to target them in current and shallow water by casting mullet and shrimp on the flats. They caught a bunch of nice fish, including Speckled Trout and Flounder. Another great day of fishing in Folly Beach!
