LATE SUMMER BITE IS GREAT!

Aug 21, 2025 Mount Pleasant

With rather mild temps for August, the water temps have stayed around 85° and the fish are loving it!

July Fishing!!

Aug 1, 2025 Mount Pleasant

It's been a brutal summer so far with record-setting temps. The water temp is nearly 90° in the harbor and hotter in the creeks. Lits of juvenile trout and slot Redfish being caught in the early mornings and sharks are thick in the harbor. Bull Redfish bites are good when they are good and bad when they are bad. Did I mention it's HOT!!

REDFISH BEAT DOWN!

Dec 19, 2024 Mount Pleasant

With the water temps dropping, these Redfish are beginning to school up and can be found in super shallow water!

3 Hour Inshore Fishing(PM) - 2:00 PM

I went with a friend of mine, and greatly enjoyed it. The captain is an awesome dude, very interactive, cracking jokes and made the slow moments go bye faster. It was pretty informative too, he made sure to tell us what we were doing and why, aswell as tips about the fishing itself. We caught about 5 fish total, it was a slower day but honestly I wouldve enjoyed the trip had we caught nothing. Overall I’m incredibly happy with the trip and will be booking more trips in the future. Would highly... More

Thank you so much for the kind words Austin. I tell folks all the time, that there’s a lot more to being a fishing guide than just catching fish. I’m glad to hear that I was able to provide you guys with an enjoyable experience despite the tough bite. We’ll get them next time, no doubt! In the meantime, keep those lines tight and stay Salty my friend! Thanks again for choosing Salty Habit Charters!!

We had a great day out with Captain Justin. He was patient with our teenage boys and did a nice job teaching and guiding them throughout the trip. We caught a mix of redfish, trout, and a flounder, and he kept us on fish most of the time. He was easy to talk to and made for a relaxed, enjoyable experience on the water. Overall, a really solid trip and a good choice for families.

What an incredible review! Thank you, Alex. I gotta say, there wasn’t any patience needed today, my friend. (except perhaps with the fish, lol) Both those young men were polite, patient, and followed instructions very well. Not to mention they CAN FISH! It was an absolute pleasure having you guys on board today and are welcome on my boat anytime! I can’t wait to see how well those guys do next time, when the fish are actually cooperating!!

Capt. Justin is a knowledgeable fisherman who will make sure you get some fish in the boat. He busted his A** and went to great lengths to make sure we had a good experience all while telling memorable stories. The bite was slow but he got the job done. Thanks Justin!!

We caught some sharks! Trip had to be rescheduled for later in week. We set out from public pier and had to find some bait fish. After a few attempts found the fish. Then went to shark location and after after a few minutes caught some sharks. Captain helped us prepare some for cooking at local restaurant. My son and I had a great time and would book again!
