Lots of slow-pitch jigging recently! Big sea bass are all over and limiting out on them nearshore has been simple.

Fishing has been very good inshore and offshore. Offshore the grouper bite is fantastic and that will last through December. People should take advantage of it! I know how to find em.

Trip: Low Country Inshore Fishing
★★★★★
We had an awesome time fishing Charleston with Capt. Chris. Chris, Ronnie, and Kendra were super communicative leading up to the trip, and were straight with fishing conditions (high tide, full moon, etc.). We had a tight window and they made it work. While the fishing was slow, Chris gunned it to a number of spots up the rivers, out to Fort Sumter, and even out to the jetties. He was super outgoing the whole time sharing stories about the area and history of the forts, and cracking some hilarious jokes. Thanks Chris, Ronnie, and Kendra, we'll be back!

Had an excellent morning inshore trip with Chris! Nice boat, very friendly, great conversation, music, and put us on some fish right away! Would absolutely recommend and will absolutely be calling them again when we’re in town again!

Adam was early and ready to go at 6:30am. We had a tough day with clouds and wind but made the most of it. He was very helpful with providing tips and tricks to improve my casting in a respectful way. He taught me a lot about the redfish habitat and their mannerisms. Coming from Canada, I had never salt water fly fished before, but Adam was welcoming and showed me the ropes. Would definitely gonaga

Great trip and they were able to book a different Captain on a days notice when the original Captain had a boat malfunction. Thank you!

What an AMAZING trip we had out on the water with Ronnie. Seriously couldn’t have asked for a better day from catching bait to catching our dream fish! Ronnie is very experienced and had so much to offer! If you are looking for a lifetime experience in Charleston, SC. BOOK with Ronnie!

Just finished a great four hour charter, guided by Cpt. Chris. Harbour fishing for Red Fish and Shark. The boat and gear where top notch. Cpt. Chris was awesome, good captain, fun guy, made it a pleasure to fish. Hope we get to fish with him again.
