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.

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

    Trip: Besting Charleston's Beasts

  • ★★★★★
    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!!
