Local Tips & Conditions
Charleston's tidal creeks and grass flats fish best during moving water, with the two hours before and after tide changes typically producing the most action. Water clarity varies with rainfall and tides, but the fish remain active in both clear and stained conditions. Spring and fall offer the most consistent bite, while summer fishing is best early morning or late afternoon to avoid the heat.
Wind direction affects fishing success significantly in these shallow waters. Southwest winds create choppy conditions on the main rivers, while northeast winds provide calmer water and better fishing in the back creeks. Captain Bray adjusts the fishing plan based on daily conditions to ensure the best possible experience.
Plan Your Fishing Charter Day
Our fishing charters accommodate up to six anglers comfortably, with all gear provided including rods, reels, tackle, and bait. We typically launch at dawn to take advantage of the morning bite, returning by early afternoon for half-day trips. Full-day charters allow time to explore multiple fishing spots and target different species as conditions change throughout the day. Bring sunscreen, drinks, and snacks – we'll handle the rest.
