    Fished with Captain Rodney Summers of Southern Summers Charters on November 11 — four of us on his inshore trip. Great boat: clean, comfortable, and plenty of room for four anglers. Rodney really knows these waters — he suggested moving our trip to fish the outgoing tide, and it paid off. Between the four of us, we each caught probably 5–10 fish: redfish, speckled trout, and even a bonnethead shark. He kept us on fish the whole trip, handled all the rigging and bait, and made it easy for everyone. Would absolutely book with him again.

    My wife and I went on a fishing excursion with Captain Dickey and his son francise and it was great. They were both very polite and helpful and best of all they got us on fish and we caught a lot and all different kinds. Our biggest was a 30LB fish if I remember correctly they called it a black dot drum. Great trip!!!!

    Had a great day. Capt Tim is very personable and extremely knowledgeable about these waters. Boat is immaculate and nicely appointed. We located redfish within a 5 minute boat ride. Tim was helpful with my fly casting technique and patient with my frequent snags on oyster beds. We landed 4 nice reds and had numerous chances at others. I would highly recommend Capt Tim and I will definitely be back.

    this was our 2nd annual birthday fishing trip for my son. we had to reschedule from our original date for gale wind and today was a beautiful day. Captain Brian brought us to different locations and ensured we left with dinner. I even caught/released a tagged red fish and Brian informed me that's a 1% chance! I followed his instructions and reported it to DNR, looking forward to the reward. Thank you Brian for your assistance and encouragement!

    Spanish Moss Charters and Captain Dom were EXCELLENT! We caught lots of fish. Good eating legal size ones he put right on ice and then cleaned later. Lots of boats don’t do that. He is a great fishing coach when you have a big one on. He has a great attitude and will really help you get your target fish. He also plays excellent music while you’re out. I’m an avid fisherman and have fished all over the world and I highly recommend Spanish Moss Charters and Captain Dom out of Charleston! Sincerely, David

    Went on my 5th trip with captain Patrick yesterday and it didn’t disappoint! He has never failed to put us on the fish, he does whatever it takes to get fish on the boat. Yesterday he put us on a spot with wide open Speckled trout and finished out the day with quite a few nice Reds. Thanks Pat! We’ll be back.

Redfish are the star of South Carolina’s coastal waters. These hard-fighting game fish school on the flats, cruise marsh edges, and prowl oyster bars. Anglers love them for powerful runs, beautiful bronze colors, and year-round action.

Inshore fishing is the go-to way to target Redfish here. Guides often fish shallow creeks, grass flats, and tidal ponds using live shrimp, mullet, or cut bait. Soft plastics, spoons, and topwater plugs work well when fish are feeding. Fly fishing, which uses lightweight lures called flies, is popular on flood tides when tailing fish show in the grass.

Most trips run a half day and stay close to protected water. The ride is short, the pace is steady, and there are plenty of casting chances. Bring sun protection, a hat, and polarized sunglasses to spot fish. Your captain will usually provide rods, reels, and bait, and will explain knots, casting, and safe fish handling.

South Carolina’s Lowcountry marshes offer prime habitat from Georgetown down to Hilton Head. Productive areas include Charleston Harbor, Winyah Bay, the ACE Basin, St. Helena Sound, and the Broad River. Look for oyster mounds, creek mouths, and grass edges that funnel bait.

Regulations can change, so check state rules before your trip. Confirm license needs, seasons, and harvest limits with your captain, and consider catch-and-release for large breeders to keep this fishery strong.

    Lowcountry Red's

    My wife and I really enjoyed fishing the Lowcountry with Capt. Zach. He is very knowledgeable and works hard to put you on the fish. We primarily caught redfish with a few trout to mix in. We look forward to getting back down there and going out again with Zach-highly recommend.
