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!

Had an amazing time out on the water and caught more sharks than I ever expected. The action started pretty quickly and didn’t let up, definitely one of the best fishing days I’ve had. Captain Justin was excellent. Super knowledgeable, easy to talk to, and made sure everyone knew what they were doing. He explained things clearly and had great insight into where to go and what to use. You can tell he really knows his stuff and genuinely wants people to have a great time. The... More

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!!

Thank you so much for acknowledging and appreciating my efforts Gavin. Those fish certainly made me work for it! I’m glad you guys had an enjoyable experience despite the slow bite. It was an absolute pleasure having you guys on board today and I’m looking forward to our redemption trip when you guy’s come back to Charleston! In the meantime, keep those lines tight and stay Salty my friend! Thanks again for choosing Salty Habit Charters!!

Captain Griffin has a wonderful boat, gear , and attitude to make anyone’s fishing trip sucessful! Even if we had caught no fish, the day would have been completely sucessful. Sharing a day with a very nice, knowledgeable, and competent guide on the water is really all you can ask. With that said, 2- Reds over 40 inches, several more too big to eat, only hurt my belly and not my pride! My son and I had a wonderful morning to make a lasting memory! Thanks, Captain Griffin!

We booked this as a last minute trip for a group of 6 while we had family in town. Justin was a great time. He was on time for the trip, we caught sharks and fish, with his assistance as needed. The whole family had a great day on the water and got the best views of the harbor!

Can’t say enough good things about captain Justin. Great dude who has been fishing these waters his whole life and brings a wealth of experience and fun to the charter. Got on some nice trout to start the afternoon, and finished a bit inland to the redfish honey hole. Super knowledgeable, a hard worker, and not to mention great jokes! The area was beautiful and boat was great. Will definitely be going in the future again!
