    First fishing trip in Charleston

    4 Hour Trip – Inshore Fishing (AM) • 4 adults

    My family and I have been fishing for years and this was my first time fishing in the Charleston area. Captain Jesse put us on some incredible fish during our trip. We got to fish multiple spots with different structure and caught about 4 or 5 different species of fish. Captain Jesse was very professional and taught us a lot about the different species we were catching. I will definitely be booking future trip with Captain Jesse on Tight Line Charters when I come back to the Charleston area. Thanks for a great time out on the water Captain.

    Reported catch:
    Black Drum
    Redfish
    Sheepshead

    Fantastic Morning with Captain Jesse and Tight Line Charters

    4 Hour Trip – Inshore Fishing (PM) • 2 adults

    We had an outstanding experience with Tight Line Charters out of Shem Creek. Captain Jesse was excellent & knowledgeable, personable, patient, and clearly knows the Charleston waters extremely well. He put us on fish, and we landed some beautiful redfish. Jesse handled everything and made the trip easy and enjoyable from beginning to end. The boat was clean, comfortable, and well equipped, and we never felt rushed. The setting was also hard to beat. Heading out from Shem Creek in the morning, fishing the Lowcountry waters, seeing Charleston from the water, and catching quality fish made for a memorable experience. Captain Jesse is exactly what you want in a charter captain: professional and experienced, but also relaxed and genuinely fun to spend a few hours with. We would absolutely fish with Captain Jesse and Tight Line Charters again. Highly recommended five stars all the way.

    Reported catch:
    Black Seabass
    Redfish
    Bonnethead Shark

March and early spring fishing!

Mar 4, 2019 • Mount Pleasant
Hey everyone the past month or so have been stellar months fishing here in the low country with things only getting better! Right now we’re seeing redfish in abundant numbers along with black drum, sheepshead, trout, and flounder starting to show up as well. The nearshore reefs are producing good numbers on big sheepshead black seabass and HUGE DINOSAUR black drum anywhere from 65#s and up! The weather is warming up, the fish are becoming very active, and the waters are calm, what more could you ask for in life hands down! So come get hooked with Tight Line Charters for some reel screaming action with the chance to catch the fish of a lifetime!
