Services
Inshore Fishing
Explore Charleston's marshlands and jetties targeting redfish, trout, and flounder. Our light tackle approach using corks and jigs works year-round in creeks, oyster beds, and grass lines. Ideal for families and beginners, these trips combine education with action-packed fishing in protected waters.
Tarpon Fishing
Seasonal June-October adventures chasing 200-pound tarpon in Charleston's warm waters. These 8-hour excursions combine trophy hunting with ecosystem education. While targeting tarpon, anglers often catch large redfish as secondary species while learning about coastal fisheries conservation.
Shark Fishing
Exciting May-August trips targeting multiple shark species from blacktips to tigers. Customizable for different skill levels, with options for smaller species for children or big-game challenges. Learn safe catch-and-release techniques while experiencing Charleston's apex predators firsthand.
