A Few Native Species

Redfish
Commonly referred to as Red Drum, Puppy Drum, Channel Bass or Spot-tail Bass. Probably one of South Carolina's most sought after fish, the Redfish can be caught several ways. When conditions permit, reds can be seen in shallow water estuaries giving the accurate flycaster or spinfishermen opportunities at South Carolina's prized state fish! When the Redfish have left the shallows we also offer live bait trips in deeper water areas proven to hold fish. Our charters practice catch and release on the Redfish to insure a healthy fishery.

Spanish Mackerel
Spanish Mackerel arrive in the spring and stay until fall! They can be caught numerous ways from trolling, casting artificials from spinning tackle, light-lining live menhaden baits or casting flys to breaking fish. Excellent table fare and very abundant

False Albacore
Similar to Bonito but larger, False Albacore have made decent appearances off the Charleston coast in late November and early December. A blast on light tackle or the flyrod.

Flounder
From spring through fall, the Flounder is one of our most sought after fish! Live bait trips provide the best chance at landing one of these tasteful treats!

Bluefish
When the Bluefish are here you can expect fast action. Spring and fall provides the best time of year. During their "blitzes" and aggressive feeding periods bait selection is not important.

King Mackerel
King Mackerel are excellent fighters on light tackle gear. Most kings are caught trolling the offshore structure and wrecks.
Bonito
Bonito visit our coast during April and May and provide excellent light tackle action for these speedsters! Most Bonito are caught within 3 miles of the beach giving both the flycaster or spinfisherman an exciting way to usher in the spring season.
Jack Crevalle
The Jack Crevalle show up in Charleston around the beginning of June. The Jacks that show up are some of the biggest around. In fact, the current IGFA world record Jack was caught right here in Charleston. These brutes are a blast on the fly but are commonly caught on light tackle or live bait.
