Does Shutes Folly Island have good fishing?

Shutes Folly Island, located near Charleston, South Carolina, is a notable spot for fishing enthusiasts seeking a mix of saltwater and brackish water fishing opportunities. The island’s surrounding waters, including tidal creeks and inlets, are home to a variety of fish species. Anglers can expect to catch popular inshore species such as redfish, speckled trout, and flounder. The island’s diverse aquatic habitats provide ample opportunities for both shore fishing and boat fishing, catering to different fishing preferences.

The island’s relatively secluded location offers a peaceful fishing experience away from the more crowded spots. The surrounding natural beauty, including salt marshes and estuarine environments, enhances the overall fishing experience and provides a tranquil setting for a day on the water. Access to the island is relatively straightforward, with several public access points and nearby launch sites that make it convenient for anglers to reach prime fishing areas.

However, fishing conditions around Shutes Folly Island can be influenced by local weather and tidal changes. The area's tidal nature means that fish behavior can vary with the changing tides, so checking local tide charts and weather forecasts can be helpful in planning a successful trip. Despite these variables, Shutes Folly Island remains a favored destination for its scenic environment and productive fishing grounds.

    My second trip with Carlo, and another fantastic time! I highly recommend Carlo for Charleston fishing, he knows his way around!

    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!!

    Really excellent time with Carlo! He knows the spots to catch fish and tailors the trip to what you want it to be. Great boat and all the help fishing you want. Highly recommended and I'm already planning another trip with him.

    Carlo is the man. Great communication as we approached our trip as weather was a factor. Made it easy for a bunch of us who had limited fishing experience. Would book with him again in a heartbeat.
