Come out with us and enjoy a day of inshore/near shore fly fishing or light tackle fishing in Charleston, SC. No matter your experience level, we will provide you with the knowledge and tools to get it done. Normally we target the red fish by using 8wt rod and reels or spin gear. We like to use fly patterns or artificial bait resembling shrimp, crabs, and small baitfish. If we are tossing bait, we use shrimp, crabs, or mud minnows. Bring your own gear if you are more comfortable with it or let us provide it for you. We bring water and will provide a small lunch for full day trips. Rates are for one person, add $50 for an extra person.

I had a great 4 Hour Trip with Austin. Sight Casting for Redfish is the most complicated fishing I have ever attempted and Austin did a great job of patiently teaching me the techniques, and putting the boat right onto the fish. I will definitely go with him again!

Wonderful experience with Austin of Ace Outdoors from start to finish. He was such a great teacher to my young son who learned so much that day. I would highly recommend booking him ASAP!
