Come explore the fish-rich waters of Charleston with Lil Darlin Charters and enjoy your day under the South Carolina sun! Captain Lindsay Livingston has a lifetime of fishing experience, and knows these waters like the back of her hand. She will provide tips and tricks on how not to lose fish.

You will be fishing from a 25’ Pathfinder center console, 2021. The boat is powered by a 300 HP Yamaha engine, and has space for up to 6 guests. Whether you want to fish inshore, or head to the reefs, Capt. Lindsay’s boat has what it takes. Once onboard, anglers will find an icebox and the cool of the shade under the T top.

When you head out, Capt. Lindsay will provide the fishing gear – Penn rods, reels, and tackle. No need to take out the fishing license, Captain Lindsay will do that for you. She will also clean your catch so that you can savor a tasty meal after the trip and reminisce the drag screaming.

Lil Darlin Charters runs a variety of fishing trips around the fishful waters of Charleston. These fisheries are home to inshore finest species – Spotted Seatrout, Redfish, Black Sea Bass, and Tarpon, but that’s not all! Go to the reefs to battle the mighty Cobia. Both serious anglers and novice fishermen will find something to like, and youngsters will love seeing the fish bite and the line tighten.

Once you’re ready to go, hop aboard, and let the excitement kick in. Join Lil Darlin Charters and have an unforgettable adventure in South Carolina waters!

Half Day Trip - Inshore (PM)

Tough conditions with huge rewards

VERIFIED

Let me first say, Captain Lindsay is not just a lady angler, but quite in fact, the "Reel" deal! We went fishing after a few days of storms which had rainfall to 4" and even 5 " in local places. The water was murkey and the tide was crazy. We were informed that the conditions were set for a tough day. The first place we pulled up to, I caught a short Red on my second cast. By the way, Captain Lindsay will tell you just where to cast in every spot you travel to, hence a fish on the second cast. The water was getting dirtier and dirtier after catching a few smaller Trout and Reds, so we opted to head a bit off of the shore a few miles to get in better water. Immediately we had 2 fish on at once and Captain Lindsay had her hands full keeping us baited up and making sure we stayed on the fish. After that the surf grew, it was too much to fish comfortably. All of the boats that were anywhere within the mile were starting to head back inland because of the surf. Captain Lindsay's new Sea Fox was more than a match for the given conditions. SUPER SWEET RIG! Once we got back to decent water, Captain Lindsay out on on yet another tactic/way to catch these fish to catch. NOTE: Captain Lindsay put us on many ways and techniques to catch these fish in all the tough conditions we had opted for us today. Once we pulled up to the last stop of the day, Captain Lindsay was a generous school of Reds feeding in the shallows beyond us. She then gently lowered her Minn Kota and trolled towards them slowly and once we were there....boyyyyy hold on! If it wasn't for the power poles that has us fastly anchored, I feel they would have been pulling us left and right like it was silly! All and all, Captain Lindsay put us on fish no matter where, no matter the tide/current situation even with dingy water. When this happens in these tough conditions, you know you have a world class guide. I have been on many charters and I can promise this is one that I will be back to, FOR SURE!

Lindsay did a good job of making the fishing trip for me and my grandsons memorable. It was a hot day and fishing started out slow but she kept moving until we found some spots where we got some action. Lindsay was very friendly and worked well with my grandsons in helping catch fish. They really enjoyed it when each of them were able to catch some sharks. It was fun watching them try to land them.
