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!

Cpt Daniel is a great guide. He put us on fish at every location, meaning he worked hard to get fish in the box. We ended the morning with a nice catch of reds and specs, exactly what we were targeting. A veteran, we also got to chatting about our years of service and experiences. It was a great morning, indeed!

Trip: Shark Fishing With Captain Justin
★★★★★
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!!
