Spend the day with Dogfish Charters and find out what the fishing in Charleston is all about! Having logged many hours on these tides, Captain Bryan can tell you all about the local fishery.
These waters are known for Redfish, Spotted Seatrout, Flounder, Sheepshead, and more – with any luck, it won't take long to hook into some. On these trips, it's common to bottom fish using light tackle.
If you're traveling with the family, you will be glad to know that kids are welcome aboard! If you don't have a child-sized life vest of your own, be sure to ask if there's one on board. Also remember to bring snacks so that everyone stays happy and energized!
Your boat for the day is a 19' MayCraft center console with room for 4 passengers. It has all the essentials. You'll find rods, reels, and tackle waiting for you, as well as lures. Live bait is on offer, but you should ask the captain whether you'll be catching it yourself.
There's no need to buy a fishing license, so all you have to do is show up ready for a good time! Be mindful that some species may have special rules or limited seasons. Your captain will help you follow regulations while you fish.
Don't leave home without sunscreen (non-spray) and sunglasses. Bottled water will be available for you. Alcohol is allowed in moderation, just be sure to avoid hard liquor as well as glass bottles.

Spencer SmithRepeat angler5.0VerifiedBest South Carolina fishing trip ever!
4-Hour AM Wadmalaw Island on July 24, 2026 • 2 adultsCaptain Bryan got us on the fish and what a great experience! My boat caught keeper redfish, trout, and flounder. We caught so many fish I lost count. Bryan was a real nice guy and very knowledgeable fishing the waters. The boat was comfortable and well loaded with bait rods and some complimentary water. I’ll definitely book him again and I would recommend him. 5 stars.

4-Hour PM Wadmalaw Island on July 6, 2025⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ An Unforgettable, Authentic Fishing Experience! I can’t say enough good things about this trip. From the moment we stepped on the boat, the captain went above and beyond to make us feel welcome and prepared. He was not only incredibly knowledgeable, but also passionate, patient, and genuinely fun to be around. The entire experience felt so real and unfiltered—no tourist traps, no gimmicks—just honest, hands-on fishing with a local who truly knows the waters. We learned so much, caught some great fish, and made memories that will stick with us for a lifetime. If you’re looking for a captain who’s the real deal and a fishing trip that feels authentic from start to finish, this is it. Highly recommend!I
Kevin Klucsarits5.0VerifiedEnjoyable 1/2 Day Inshore
4-Hour AM Wadmalaw Island on June 20, 2025 • 4 adults • 2 childrenCapt Bryan was a perfect host for our trip. He was really great with my 2 boys, (13) and (10), in helping them and interacting with them. We had a tough day of fishing but tried a few different type of spots trying to tease them out. Highlight was fighting and bringing in a shark. Boys enjoyed the fight. Capt Bryan was really engaging and great sense of humor. Fun day and would do it again!!

Josh Strickland5.0Half day trip with Captain Bryan
4-Hour AM Sheepshead Shem Creek on July 27, 2024Fishing with Captain Bryan is one of the best experience I’ve had using a charter. His knowledge about Low-country fishing is exceptional. He keeps you informed of the the method he has for each species of fish you are targeting. He is NOT a “here reel this fish in” captain. If you are looking for a great Captain, great experience, a lot of knowledge and a ton of laughs Captain Bryan is your man!!
