Growing up in Charleston, Captain Nicholas Winch was lucky enough to be able to fish these beautiful waters just about every day. Having fished since he could walk, there was never any doubt about the importance of fishing in his life. His favorite thing about fishing is the sheer excitement of reeling in the big fish that's almost palpable.

    Hard Fighthing Big Redfish

    4 Hour Trip – Inshore (AM) • 4 adults

    We had an absolutely incredible time on the water with Captain Nicholas Winch! Fishing out of the Isle of Palms Marina, he expertly navigated the Charleston waters and got us on the fish right away. Everyone in our group managed to reel in some massive bull Redfish. What really stood out was how nice, patient, and hands-on the Captain was. He took the time to help everyone—from the experienced anglers to the beginners—and made sure everyone on the trip had a blast fighting these big fish.If you're looking for a top-notch, family-friendly charter that guarantees a great time and memorable catches, I highly recommend booking with Captain Nicholas!

    Awesome!

    4 Hour Trip - Inshore (PM) • 2 adults

    Nick W. was very knowledgeable and put us on fish immediately. He worked with us in baiting hooks, casting, and even assisting in the initial catch process of fish. He was patient with our novice fishers as well as operated his boat with percission and safety! 5 Stars completely and would recommend over and over again.

What's biting with Southern Breeze Charters in Isle Of Palms

With average temperatures hovering around 67°F, this is still a great time to head offshore for Wahoo, Yellowfin Tuna, and Sailfish. Or stick around the island and chase after Redfish.

May 10, 2021 • Isle Of Palms
The weather is warm and the fish and feeding hard. The inshore bite is still very good and the jetties bite is getting better and better each day. Menhaden are here which means the big bull reds are THICK in the harbor and at the jetties.
