    Great trip!!

    Captain Terry was great! Very knowledgable about the history of that area and put us on fish right away…and it didnt disappoint at all. Keeper flounder, speckled trout, and a red drum, plus several over slot drum and under slot. All and all GREAT experience with a great captain!

    Great Captain

    4 Hour Trips • 2 adults

    Captain Terry is a native of the Isle of Palms and has fished Thad are his entire life. He took us to various locations to try to find different species. While we did not catch anything large enough to take home it was enjoyable.

    Great day fishing

    4 Hour Trips • 2 adults

    Captain Terry was great with my boy. You could tell he had raised boys if his own. He grew up in IOP, and knew the water and fish, but also give us history lessons throughout the morning. Caught 19" trout and 30" red, amongst others. Wonderful day.

    Great first IOP trip

    4 Hour Trips • 2 adults • 1 child

    Captain Terry is great. Got us on fish first cast. Tried a few locations, pretty good bite from low to mid tide. Maybe 20 fish? Would recommend. Get lunch at The Outpost after. Also highly recommended. Thanks.

    Excellent!

    Captain was very responsive and communicated well. He was knowledgable and friendly. He put my son and I on fish quickly and did not hesitate to change baits or spots based on the bite. We had a geat time, and I would recommend him to anyone who would like to take a nice inshore trip.

    We caught Red Fish, Flounder, Sea Trout and a fish called a Lady Fish. Captain Terry had so much knowledge of the area we were fishing and gave us a history lesson on the area also.

What's biting with Isle of Palms Fishing Charters in Isle Of Palms

The offshore big game fishing is winding down, but you'll still have plenty of luck on the reefs. Inshore, Redfish, Sheepshead, and Flounder continue to promise great light tackle action.
