For the months of September, redfish will be my primary target species along with sea trout and flounder. As fall approaches the bite will continue to get better and better!

Bite has been fire! Lots of reds and trout! Some trips producing high numbers of trout and 20 to 50 reds per trip on the better days.

Fishing in July is Hot! Early Morning bite is the best for inshore Reds, shark fishing is active in the Harbor. Fishing in July can be extremely productive but everyday is different and we are just a couple of months away from the best fishing we have to offer and...

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!

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!

Hayden did a great job making us feel comfortable, helping teach us, and was a pleasure to be around. We had a tough day out there, to no fault of Hayden. He was a true professional when we havi g trouble getting bites and did a great job getting us to other locations.

We had a fantastic experience fishing with Captain David. He was extremely personable, he had great communication and was very knowledgeable about the area. He was clear on what the plan for the day was and was quick to adapt to changing conditions. Captain David put us on the fish and helped create a memorable experience! We will definitely use him again on our next visit.

We had an amazing 3-hour inshore fishing trip Easter morning with Captain Carlos! From start to finish, he was punctual, communicative, and incredibly accommodating, keeping us informed with helpful texts and making everything easy. It was just me, my 32-year-old son, and my 18-year-old daughter, and he truly made the experience special for each of us. He was patient, energetic, and so friendly, never once showing frustration, just making sure we were all having a great time. It was a perfect outing, and we couldn’t have asked for a better captain. We will book with Carlo again in the future! Highly recommend!
