Highlights of Charleston Inshore Fishing
Charleston's extensive marsh system and tidal creeks create ideal habitat for redfish, trout, and flounder year-round. The waters around Johns Island offer excellent sight fishing opportunities, especially during moving tides when gamefish become more active. Our charters focus on light tackle techniques that maximize the fight and enjoyment for anglers of all skill levels.
The Lowcountry's unique geography provides diverse fishing environments within a short boat ride. From shallow grass flats to deeper creek channels, each location offers different opportunities depending on season, tide, and weather conditions.
Local Tips & Conditions
Charleston's inshore waters fish best during moving tides, particularly the two hours before and after high tide. Water temperatures remain fishable year-round, though spring and fall typically provide the most consistent action. Wind direction plays a crucial role in site selection, with protected creek systems offering alternatives when open water becomes rough.
Our charters accommodate up to four anglers comfortably, with all fishing licenses, tackle, and bait included in the trip cost. We recommend bringing sun protection, snacks, and drinks for longer trips. Captain Bray provides local knowledge about seasonal patterns, bait selection, and techniques that work best in Charleston's unique tidal environment.
