Highlights of Charleston Fishing Charter
Charleston's waters offer excellent year-round fishing opportunities, from shallow inshore flats to deeper offshore structure. Our charters target species based on seasonal patterns and current conditions. The area's tidal creeks, oyster bars, and nearshore reefs provide diverse fishing environments within easy reach of the harbor. Captain Bray adjusts techniques and locations based on weather, tides, and guest preferences to maximize your fishing success.
All trips include professional instruction for beginners and advanced techniques for experienced anglers. We provide Penn and Shimano tackle, fresh bait, and ice for your catch. The boat features modern electronics, safety equipment, and comfortable seating for up to six guests.
Local Tips & Conditions
Charleston's fishing success depends heavily on tidal movement and seasonal patterns. Spring and fall offer the most consistent action, with summer providing excellent early morning and evening opportunities. Water temperatures and bait movements drive fish activity, making local knowledge essential for productive trips. Captain Bray monitors conditions daily and adjusts departure times to match optimal fishing windows.
Inshore waters around Johns Island and Charleston Harbor remain productive throughout most of the year. Structure fishing around docks, jetties, and oyster beds produces steady action, while open water trolling targets pelagic species during warmer months. Weather conditions can change quickly on the coast, so we maintain flexible scheduling and safety-first policies.

Our fishing charter includes all necessary equipment, with rods, reels, tackle, and bait provided. The boat accommodates up to six anglers comfortably, with early morning departures typically producing the best results. We recommend bringing sunscreen, polarized sunglasses, and weather-appropriate clothing. Coolers with ice are provided for your catch, and we offer fish cleaning services upon request.
Departure times vary with seasons and tides, with most trips beginning between 6:00 AM and 7:00 AM. Captain Bray provides pre-trip briefings on safety procedures and fishing techniques. All guests must have valid South Carolina fishing licenses, which can be purchased online or at local tackle shops before your trip.
