Tight Line Charters
Welcome to Tight Line Charters, a family-friendly all-inclusive fishing charter business. We've nominated top 5 best charters in Charleston by the Post and Courier and hopes to keep it going! They offer light and heavy tackle guided fishing trips, inshore shallow water/nearshore deep water fishing charters, and harbor/eco-tours as well so you can take in all Charleston has to offer.
Tight Line Charters is locally owned and operated by Captain Jesse Riddle, a USCG-certified, licensed, and insured captain with an outstanding reputation. He is a true local and an avid angler in shallow and deep water and has been fishing low country waters for over 25 years and will take you to the some of most productive fishing grounds.
They will provide you with all fishing gear necessary, including baits and fishing licenses. You'll be using all Penn gear and you'll be targeting Redfish, Flounder, sharks, Trout, Sheepshead, and Black Drum inshore. Nearshore you'll be targeting Snapper, Triggerfish, Grouper, Amberjack, Cobia, Kingfish, and more depending on the time of year. The weather is great for the most part year-round in the Southeast, which allows the fish to be active.
Fishing will take place aboard a 33' Contender powered by new twin 250 HP Yamaha engines. These boats are of the absolute best tournament boats and are considered a staple in the fishing industry. The boat is equipped with all updated electronics and performance by Yamaha which gives a smooth, quiet, clean, and dry ride. It has ample dry storage room and seating, and an oversized T-top for ample shade.
Capt. Jesse has unparalleled knowledge of the area's fisheries and species and loves to share his knowledge with his clients. You can keep the fish as long as it's in the legal size limit, the capt. will clean them for you. An automatic 20% gratuity is added to any party of 5 or more.
NOTE: Departure times might vary, depending on the tide.

Had an amazing time with Captain Jesse and Tight line charters. Even though the weather wasn’t the best he put us on fish including my pb 43 in redfish. Would highly recommend Capt Jesse. He was very friendly and patient and would be great for first timers or pros. Immaculate boat as well!
Captain made sure we caught a shark before heading back
Highly recommend Captain Jesse on Tight Lines. Great day on the water.

Had an excellent time catching fish, and I'm not even a fisherman. Jesse made sure we caught the fish we were going for and he was really friendly.
we absolutely loved doing this charter with Captain Jesse and will be back!
