Local Tips & Conditions
Charleston's inshore waters offer year-round fishing opportunities with peak action during spring and fall months. Tidal movement plays a crucial role in fish activity, with moving water typically producing the best results around oyster bars and creek mouths. Water temperatures range from the mid-50s in winter to the low 80s in summer, influencing fish behavior and feeding patterns throughout the seasons.
Weather conditions can change quickly on the water, so we monitor forecasts closely and prioritize safety above all else. Light tackle fishing with artificial lures and live bait produces consistent results, while sight fishing opportunities increase during warmer months when fish move into shallow water. Our local knowledge helps maximize your time on productive water regardless of conditions.
