Charleston's coastal waters provide diverse fishing opportunities throughout the year. Our charters access both inshore creeks and nearshore reefs where gamefish congregate around structure and tidal changes. The area's mix of saltwater marshes, oyster beds, and deeper channels creates ideal habitat for various species.
All fishing equipment is provided, including rods, reels, tackle, and bait. Captain Bray adjusts techniques based on conditions and target species, whether bottom fishing around structure or working the tides in shallow water. Safety equipment and fishing licenses are included in your charter rate.
Charleston fishing conditions vary with tides, weather, and seasonal patterns. Spring and fall typically offer the most consistent action as fish move through the area during migration periods. Summer fishing focuses on early morning and late afternoon trips to avoid midday heat, while winter charters target deeper water where fish hold in more stable temperatures.
Tidal movement plays a crucial role in Charleston fishing success. Moving water activates feeding behavior, with the two hours before and after tide changes often producing the best results. Captain Bray times trips to coincide with optimal tidal conditions for your target species and chosen fishing areas.
Our fishing charters accommodate up to six anglers with all equipment provided. Trips typically start early morning from Charleston area marinas, with exact departure times coordinated based on tides and weather conditions.
