Charleston's extensive marsh system and nearby offshore waters create ideal conditions for year-round fishing. Our charters target species like redfish, trout, flounder, and seasonal runs of cobia and king mackerel. The area's structure-rich bottom and tidal movements concentrate baitfish, drawing predators within easy reach of our fishing grounds.
Captain Derrick's local knowledge ensures we fish the most productive spots based on current conditions, tides, and seasonal patterns. Each trip is customized to your group's experience level and target species preferences.
Charleston's fishing success depends heavily on tidal timing and seasonal movements. Spring and fall offer the most consistent action as baitfish migrate through our waters. Summer brings excellent nearshore opportunities, while winter focuses on deeper creek mouths and channels where fish concentrate during cooler months.
Water clarity varies with tides and weather, but our local knowledge helps us adapt techniques accordingly. We fish both artificial lures and live bait depending on conditions and target species. The area's protected waters make it suitable for anglers of all experience levels, from first-timers to seasoned veterans.
Our fishing charters include a fully equipped boat with modern electronics, safety equipment, and all necessary fishing gear.

Departure times are coordinated with tidal movements for the best fishing opportunities. We recommend bringing sunscreen, snacks, and beverages for your comfort during the trip. All required safety equipment and fishing licenses are handled by the captain.
