trip description for Besting Charleston's Beasts in North Charleston

This is one of the best experiences you can have in Charleston. The harbor and jetties provide an abundance of life and structure offering large habitats for saltwater fish to live and thrive in Charleston, South Carolina. Lots of fish variety and opportunities to make memories of a lifetime. We target large Bull Reds, and many different species of shark; some of them are truly monsters. While we are fishing for this species there is a high likelihood to catch and land many other Charleston inshore sport fish. These fish include trout, flounder, reds, sheepshead, stripper, and many more. Even though we can never make the fish eat, this trip has a very high success rate! This is one of our most repeated trips in Charleston. Let us take you on an experience of a lifetime and enjoy a fishing trip in the beautiful and historic waters of Charleston, SC! Read More

Is booking a fishing guide worth the money?

Hiring a guide provides a number of benefits and many choose to book a fishing guide for a combination of experience, local knowledge, convenience, and cost-effectiveness.

Working with experienced fishing guides who know the best local spots and techniques can dramatically increase your odds of a great day. Having someone who is on the water every day and knows the area like the back of their hand is going to give you the best chances of success.

Booking a guide is also more cost effective, especially if you only get out a handful of times per year. When you consider all of the costs you would incur on your own such as the price of a boat, maintenance, insurance, gas, high-quality gear and tackle, repairs, and more, you’ll find that DIY is sometimes not worth the expense.

Even if you’ve got a great setup already in your home waters, booking a guide also provides a great opportunity to experience new techniques, new locations, or even a chance at a new target species to knock off the bucket list.

    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.

    Captain Carlo was fantastic! He was very knowledgeable and friendly. Add to that the fact that we all caught a variety of fish and two of us had only been fishing once before in our lives, and you have a perfect day. Thank you!
