Fishing in South Carolina

South Carolina stands as a premier East Coast fishing destination, offering an exceptional variety of angling environments from lush marshes to deep Atlantic waters. The state's inshore fisheries teem with year-round species like Redfish, Speckled Trout, and Flounder, while the unique lowcountry estuaries reveal seasonal Tarpon runs between May and October. Nearshore zones host Spanish and King Mackerel alongside Cobia and Sharks, creating dynamic light-tackle opportunities.

For offshore adventurers, the Gulf Stream delivers seasonal big-game action including Mahi Mahi, Tuna, and Billfish from March through October. Freshwater anglers find equally impressive options in lakes like Santee Cooper and Hartwell, where Bass, Crappie, and Catfish thrive year-round. Mountain streams even offer Trout fishing in cooler months.

Whether exploring the backwaters of Murrells Inlet or chasing pelagics from Charleston, South Carolina fishing charters provide expert access to these diverse fisheries. Anglers enjoy streamlined booking with licensed captains who navigate the best spots daily, ensuring memorable catches across the Palmetto State's bountiful waters.

    As with fishing anytime, its always hit and miss. We didn’t have the most success but not for lack of trying. We were still able to pull in 6 decent sized stripers on an unusually slow morning. Other boats in the area were experiencing the same conditions and results so it was just one of those days. Still had a great time out on the water on an abnormally cool (72-80 degree) August morning.

    Had a blast shark fishing!! Kid friendly!!

    4 hour trip is great for first time or trip with kids. If fishing with kids recommend staying with the smaller starts the whole time to give them more opportunities to catch different small sharks. Those experienced with charter fishing highly recommend going for 6 hours or long to spend more time trying to catch the large sharks.

    Great first experience!

    It is hotter, but duing the later hours of the day are great. The fish were out and Captain Joseph had waters to spare.

    Even when the fish weren’t biting Captain Larry found the spot

    With the inlet being close by 2hrs is enough to get a decent experience and 3 hrs would be perfect

    Set your expectations right that it is still fishing and it may take a while to catch anything and you may not get as many fish as youd like. bring plenty of sunscreen too!

    Awesome Shark Trip!

    Wear sunscreen but wash your hands after application, sharks can smell it and it works like a deterrent unfortunately if you’re touching other things like bait. Also, bring a good tip, they clearly work hard to provide the best experience they can. They moved like 5x for us bc we couldn’t find any at first. They also dragged for bait a couple of times bc we kept catching jellies. They deserve a tip like what you’d give your tattoo artist.

    Great fishing trip!

    What a great day! We lucked out and it was opening day for flounder. Captain Heath knew just where to go and had us pulling in fish the whole time. It was a beautiful day on the water and we had a great time! I would definitely recommend this charter for the knowledge, professionalism and fun all wrapped into one!
