March Fishing has brought a lot of fish over the rail. Reds, trout, and a great sheephead bite inshore. Offshore bottom has been awesome on the days the wind lays down allow us to fish off the coast. The much anticipated mahi run starts any day now in April and usually last til june. Fishing only gets better and better as the water warms and reaches it peak in the Fall. Our Fishing here in Charleston SC is awesome in the spring from inshore to offshore, we love getting our rod tugged!

Fishing has been great to kick off the year. The reds are schooled up inshore and the sheepshead have began to move out to the nearshore reefs. Offshore has never slowed down for bottom fishing. Black Sea bass are thick.

With the temps dropping and the water clearing up, the redfish have schooled up really nice and the trout are on fire. I hope everyone has a wonderful Christmas and happy new year!

Blackfin tuna have been thick out at the ledge. Spinning rods is my go-to tackle in targeting them with live bait. Wahoo have been hit or miss.

Fall fishing has been absolutely incredible in the low country and its just getting better. The trout and feeding good and its increasing as the water temps keep dropping. Live shrimp is the best bait of choice under a popping cork. Fish are being reeled in left and right! Book your trip today before you miss the hot bite!

The fall inshore fishing is really heating up!The bull reds are staging at the inlets and jetties for their annual spawn and will readily take live or fresh cut mullet. The flats fishing has been great and will only get better as the mullet and shrimp begin to leave with the cooling water. The bait of choice has been live finger mullet. The speckled trout bite has been good on live shrimp and artificials. Look for the trout to really bunch up through November and December. The best fishing of the year is the next couple of months. Get out...

Inshore in the charleston area the redfishing has been incredible. This month you can expect to catch reds and seatrout.
The good quality sized sea trout should show up by the end of October.
Along the beaches the big bull redfish should be making their presence known in big numbers s the water Temps begin to cool down. But currently if you want to go fishing, the Inshore bite has been great, with lots of big redfish being caught Inshore! If you would like to fish in Charleston or the surrounding book your trip with me and will get into...

    Carlo was an amazing guide. He worked his tail off keeping us on fish . Super knowledgeable about fishing and the history of Charleston. I will definitely be back to fish with him.

    Carlo was a great guide! Wouldn’t have asked for anything better. He put us on the best spots to catch and had a great sense of humor. We will be booking Carlo again!

    We had an absolute blast on our inshore fishing excursion with Captain Carlo. He was knowledgable about the area, knew the best spots to put us on top of the fish, and shared some great stories along the way. He was extremely attentive to anything we needed, had the bait on the hook before we knew we needed it, and made sure we were having fun at all times. Look forward to the next trip!

    This was the highlight of our trip to Charleston! Family of four with a 16 year old daughter and 13 year old son who both love to fish. We booked a 3 hour morning excursion. Carlo communicated with me thru the days leading up to make sure we knew what to bring, where to park, restroom situation, etc. He was all ready for us and we had the BEST trip! He has a great boat, awesome gear, was ready with bait for us, taught us how to cast (and did it for us if we needed a precision cast!), and is an all-around great guy to fish with! He has such great stories, which made the morning so fun and interesting. We all caught several different types of fish, we all caught one stingray (so cool!) and even a blue crab trying to rip off shrimp bait! The experience was worth every penny and my only regret was not booking Carlo for a longer fishing trip. Really, if you think you want to take a fishing charter, book Carlo and you will NOT be disappointed! 12/10 stars Thanks again, Carlo!!

    Really excellent time with Carlo! He knows the spots to catch fish and tailors the trip to what you want it to be. Great boat and all the help fishing you want. Highly recommended and I'm already planning another trip with him.

    Carlo is the man. Great communication as we approached our trip as weather was a factor. Made it easy for a bunch of us who had limited fishing experience. Would book with him again in a heartbeat.

    10/10 if we could put him up there , went out for a bachelor party and had a great time with Carlo. We had to cut the day short for some people and take them back to the dock but Carlo offer to take the rest of us back out for a couple more hours after. Definitely be using him every time we go out, not to mention we caught some of the biggest drum and sheep head inshore we’ve seen.
