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

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

The most common fishing techniques in South Carolina are light tackle fishing, artificial lure fishing, and live bait fishing but cut bait fishing and sight casting are popular as well.

How much do South Carolina tarpon fishing charters cost?

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.

What month is best for tarpon fishing in South Carolina?

The most popular season for tarpon fishing in South Carolina is summer, and most anglers book their trips 20 days in advance.

    Stratton was first class leading up to the trip with his willingness to extend his day to benefit us. Then to set us up for a great evening on calm waters and plentiful fish we had a great evening. Kudos to the team.

    We had a great trip with Capt. Tyler. He was extremely knowledgeable of the waterway and had key locations that put our entire family on fish. He was also great with our 12 year old son and 10 year old daughter. Keeping us all entertained between the bites. Would highly recommend!!
