Folly Beach Weather Forecast
Fishing reports straight from our guides in Folly Beach
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...

Carlo was terrific! My wife and I enjoyed a really fun morning fishing excursion outside of Charleston with him. The ride was comfortable, the company was fabulous, and we caught a lot of fish. Carlo’s knowledge of the area, his history lessons on Charleston, and his positive attitude were exactly what we wanted. Highly recommend him for your next trip!

We had a great trip. No shortage of fish to say the least. Just an all around great experience.

Carlo is awesome. That’s all that needs to be said, but I will provide a little more. Carlos is very friendly, fun to talk to, knows where to catch fish all day, and keeps everything really clean and respectful. He’s also a really good time if you have a great sense of humor. My expectations were met completely on this last trip. The next time I am in South Carolina I plan to fish with Carlo again.

Tim was great. The fishing conditions were tough but he pulled out all the stops to ensure we still landed a few. Very knowledgeable and great company on the boat.

We had a great time fishing with Adrian. He knew some great spots to fish and he was very patient with us novices. He has a great boat and gear and there were no flaws at all. We will all look forward to going out with him again!

Amazing Shark Fishing Experience! We had an absolutely incredible experience with Captain Experiences, and we cannot say enough good things about Captain Chris and Kendra! We were originally booked with a different guide the day before our trip, but unfortunately, the guide was a no-show. Captain Experiences immediately stepped in to make the situation right. Kendra personally contacted us, worked quickly to get everything resolved, and booked us with Captain Chris for the following day. They handled the situation professionally and made sure our family still had the experience we had been looking forward to. And what an experience it was! We had a four-hour shark fishing charter with four kids and two adults, and every single one of us caught sharks! Captain Chris was absolutely fantastic with the kids. He was patient, kind, incredibly knowledgeable, and so personable. He kept everyone engaged throughout the entire trip and shared information about Charleston, local history, fishing, and all kinds of interesting random facts that made the experience even more enjoyable. At one point, we had three fishing poles go off at the same time with a boat full of excited kids—and Captain Chris handled the chaos with complete composure and professionalism. He never once seemed overwhelmed and made sure everyone had a chance to participate and have fun. The kids had an absolute blast, and honestly, so did the adults. This was one of the highlights of our trip to Charleston, and we are so grateful to Captain Chris for making it such a memorable experience. A huge thank-you to Kendra and Captain Experiences for taking care of the initial situation and going above and beyond to make it right, and an even bigger thank-you to Captain Chris for giving our family such an amazing day on the water. We would absolutely book with Captain Chris again the next time we’re in Charleston. If you’re looking for a fun, knowledgeable, patient, and family-friendly captain, we highly recommend him!
