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!

Yes, you will need a coat in the morning. But afternoons are usually in the 60's or better. And what a small price to pay for some of the best fishing of the year. Redfish are schooling up to put on weight before our short winter begins in mid January. Speckled Trout and Black Drum are feasting on minnows and shrimp as days get shorter and the water cools. We have been catching fish by drifting baits in current edges on floats and jigs. It's a great time of year for big numbers of fish to come over the rail. Let's go fishing!
