What types of kingfish fishing charters are common in South Carolina?

Deep Sea fishing is the most popular type of fishing for kingfish in South Carolina as well as nearshore fishing, inshore fishing, and jetty fishing.

The most common fishing techniques in South Carolina are bottom fishing, heavy tackle fishing, and trolling but light tackle fishing and artificial lure fishing are popular as well.

How much do South Carolina kingfish fishing charters cost?

Prices for kingfish in South Carolina can range anywhere from about $600 to $3,290, but the average price for a half day trip for kingfish in South Carolina is $705. The average price for a full day trip for kingfish in South Carolina is $1,927.

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.

    Trip: Big Fish Thrills

  • ★★★★★
    Captain Tim was great all through, from early communication/coordination to execution of our 4 hour charter for 4 guys. He showed us how he netted baitfish, then we set up on bull redfish. We were into them quickly and everyone in our party boated fish. Then we relocated because we wanted to try for shark and once again we got on them quickly, and again we all boated fish. Bargain plan, one good size ray was also caught. Highly recommend you try booking Captain Tim.

    Five stars for sure! Tim was great from start to finish, had everything we needed, put us on the fish and went out of his way to make sure we enjoyed our time catching fish. Would highly recommend, and one of the unusual things about Tim is, he is a Charleston native. Joe
