Lights Out Charters takes you on a journey to discover the fish-rich waters and alluring surroundings of South Carolina. Starting out of Georgetown, you and Captain Sheldon Banks will search the area’s inshore grounds, flats, and the backcountry for various tasty and elusive species. The captain will provide everything so you enjoy your trip and have the best chance of landing a good catch. Join him and have a great time fishing!

Your trip for the day will be a 19’ Spyder flats boat. It can accommodate up to 3 anglers and runs on a 150 HP Yamaha engine. It has got modern GPS and fishfinder electronics that allow for an efficient and safe trip to the fish and it is equipped with a livewell to provide you with live bait.

You and Captain Sheldon will be spinning on light tackle in order to attract Tarpon, Flounder, Spotted Seatrout, as well as Redfish. You can decide if you want to keep the fish you catch or simply return it back into the water. Kids are welcome to come aboard, so feel free to take them with you and have a great family time together in nature.

The captain will provide all the necessary rods, reels, tackle, live bait, as well as lures. Also, he can clean, fillet, and bag your catch if you want him to. What you should bring on your trip are fishing licenses, snacks, and drinks.

Join in for a memorable time in South Carolina and have many lovely moments with Lights Out Charters!
