Marsh Maven Fishing Charters offers light tackle and fly fishing charters among the network of flats, marshes and tidal creeks around Charleston and Mount Pleasant, South Carolina.

Fishing charters are held aboard a 17' Mitzi Skiff flats boat that is ideal for traversing the shallow water in the area. While this stable vessel is very spacious, Marsh Maven Charters prefers to have a maximum of 2 anglers aboard at a time to allow them to get the most out of their fishing trip. However, if you would like to take kids along, 3 people can be accommodated. The boat is equipped with a range of navigational electronics, a trolling motor, and plenty of storage.

Your fishing trip will see you targeting inshore species such as Redfish, Speckled Trout, and Flounder with conventional tackle or fly fishing gear. You will be using Penn Conflict reels and Shimano rods for spinning, or Ross and G-Loomis for fly fishing, and could employ a variety of tactics to hook your target fish.

Whether you're an experienced angler hoping to cast a fly after the tailing Red or have never fished before and want a fun day out on the water, Marsh Maven Charters will do everything they can to make your personalized fishing adventure one to remember.

Catch and release is encouraged, however, Captain David is happy to clean and fillet your catch if you would like to take it home for dinner at the end of the day.

Please note, that the departure time is based on the tides and customer preference.

From the first time I met David I knew it was gonna be a great experience. We sped out to various spots on the river and gave it a go. I caught the biggest fish I’ve ever caught in my life! We even were greeted by a couple of dolphins. Very cool moment. I would say David was respectful, considerate, and knowledgeable. Best part was it just me, my girlfriend, and him. Didn’t have to deal with strangers.

Captain David was great! I learned a lot without the attitude and it was a comfortable experience for my wife and I both. I’d recommend him to anyone of any age or experience level.

Thanks! We proved Tigers and a Bulldog can coexist on a 17' boat! Tell Leah great job catching those reds. See y'all in the fall!

Real catches by this captain

    Fish 1
    Redfish
    The water temperature is stable in the mid eighties, high pressure is in control, the wind is primarily out of the south-southwest and the fish are locked in to their behavior pattern. Redfish can be caught with live bait or artificial lures and the creeks are full of mullet and shrimp. Casting around crusty docks or oyster banks as well as in the shade under floating docks will produce. Target deep holes as well this time of year where the water is a bit cooler and more stable. Reds are also tailing in the grass during the flood tides which is a good opportunity to throw a fly if that's your thing. Everything is on the menu for specks (sea trout) as well. Fish grass lines, current rips and eddies during the mid to high tides. Structure in the vicinity is a good thing. Moving, clear water is critical. I have said it before and I’ll say it again- Topwater fishing early in the morning is the deal. It’s not so hot out, boat traffic is minimal and it never gets old seeing a red or trout blow up on your lure or fly. This arrangement of conditions will persist for about another six weeks, or until the cool air of fall starts to usher in. Then, the fishing goes from consistent to excellent. This happens when the water temperature begins to drop and the reds and trout start feeding aggressively. They seem to have the understanding that their food source will be around for a limited time so they make hay while they can, so to speak. Mid September through October is prime time, sometimes extending into November.

    Fishing is great right now! Redfish, speckled trout and flounder are all being caught using artificial lures and live bait.

    Redfish
    Fishing has been excellent this summer. Redfish, trout and flounder are all being caught using live bait and artificial lures. Topwater lures in the morning are fun and a great way to beat the heat. Whatever you can catch in the cast net will work for live bait around structure during the lower tides.

    Redfish
    The fishing continues to be great in the estuaries surrounding Charleston. Redfish, trout and flounder are being caught using live bait and artificial lures. The top water bite has been good early in the morning.
  • Adult angler proudly holding a large red drum near a marshy coastal waterway.

    Redfish
    Fishing is great right now. The water temp is in the upper 80’s and the redfish bite is good for tailers during flood tides and around structure when the water level is lower. The top water bite has been great for trout and reds early in the morning.
  • Two anglers on a boat proudly displaying a large Redfish caught in a scenic coastal environment.
    Fish 1
    Redfish
    With the recent heat wave the water temp is now in the 80’s and the fish are transitioning to more of a summer pattern. The redfish and trout bite have been strong and there is plenty of bait in the creeks.
  • An angler proudly displaying a large Redfish while fishing in a scenic coastal environment.
    Fish 1
    Redfish
    The water temperature is now in the low 70’s and the fishing is consistently good. The trout bite is strong and reds are now tailing in the grass and around structure.
  • Close-up view of a boat's side and hull on calm water, with a partially visible boat name.
    The water temperature is getting into the 60’s and the fish are beginning to switch to their spring behavior pattern. Should be a great trout bite after a mild winter and the redfish schools are breaking up as they are moving from the flats towards more structure. Casting top water lures is great during the spring.
