About Your Trip

Join Captain Hayden for a full-day offshore fishing adventure and explore the productive reefs, wrecks, jetties, and live bottom areas that make Charleston one of South Carolina’s premier fishing destinations. With eight hours on the water, this trip gives you more time to reach productive offshore grounds, work multiple spots, and target a wide variety of hard-fighting and great-eating fish.

Weather permitting, you'll run approximately 20 miles offshore to fish local reefs and natural bottom structure that attract baitfish and larger predators throughout the year. These areas are known for holding an impressive mix of species, giving anglers the chance to experience the variety that Charleston offshore fishing is famous for.

Depending on the season and conditions, you may target Snapper, Grouper, Cobia, King Mackerel, Amberjack, and other species that frequent the area's offshore structure. From powerful runs near the surface to hard-pulling battles around the bottom, every stop offers the potential for exciting action and a fresh challenge.

The extended trip length allows Captain Hayden to cover more water and adjust to changing conditions throughout the day. Whether fish are holding tight to structure or feeding actively over reefs and live bottom, he'll use his local knowledge and experience to keep you fishing productive areas and maximize your opportunities.

This trip is an excellent choice for anglers looking to bring home fresh fish while enjoying a true offshore experience. Beginners are welcome, and Captain Hayden is happy to provide guidance and instruction throughout the day. More experienced anglers will appreciate the extra fishing time and variety of species available on these productive offshore grounds.

If you're looking for a full day of fishing, beautiful coastal scenery, and the chance to fill the cooler with some of Charleston's most sought-after fish, this 8-hour reef fishing trip with Captain Hayden is a fantastic way to spend a day on the water.

We very much were looking forward to our trip. It was a bummer we did not catch anything at all (with the exception of a small bass). We did try all of the methods to catch them, but it just didn’t happen. We thought our guide did a good job.

Except his playlist could have been more geared towards a family, not the profanity that he had on. Not a huge deal to us but you should cater towards your audience. Also the boat we were told we’d be on was suppose to have a bathroom, which we could have used.
