Charleston Fishing, Inshore Wreck Fishing

A day of fishing for a young person is a great thing. Teach your kids to fish and they will have a good clean activity they can enjoy the rest of their lives.

For any anglers searching for a supreme catch, Charleston, a major fishing city along South Carolina's coast, is not only an excellent fishing location, but also a prime vacation spot for the family. The great  Charleston fishing along the middle South Carolina coast is second to none in the state and is a top stop along the east coast for quality exciting sport fishing.

From the jettys near the Charleston Harbor to fishing the many reefs along and off of the beach, Charleston fishing provides a huge variety of game-fishing opportunities to any angler looking to have a good time. Places like Edisto Island, Kiawah Island, Seabrook Island, and the Isle of Palms offer anglers a chance to catch a variety of fish, from big Tarpon to Redfish to numerous other popular sportfish in the area.

Your Charleston fishing charter Captain may take you to any number of spots, from going south to the Folly Beach area to heading to some offshore reef or to the Gulf Stream where you will likely find yourself catching some of these amazing Charleston fish!

Year Round Charleston Fishing

With year round fishing, Charleston, South Carolina provides anglers with a wonderful fishing experience no matter when they may come. The peak fishing season, however, is from the month of March to October. During this time, you have an increased likelihood of catching the assorted fish species in the area, as well as increasing the likelihood of finding yourself reeling in a big one!

In the summer time, flats fishing, which is fishing in the shallow waters, is the preferred way to catch redfish. Your charter captain may take you out to oyster bars or other structures, be they man-made or natural, where you will be able to look out and sometimes see the fish swimming through the waters beneath you. This is also a good way to catch trout, spot-tail bass, croaker, Striped Bass, Cobia, and Tarpon in the spring and summer months. As fun as flats fishing can be we do not offer flats fishing in Charleston as we specialize in larger fish that live in the much deeper waters off the Charleston coast.

But if it's tuna you are looking to find on the end of your line, November and early December ranks as usually the best time to catch them. While trolling is generally the most used method for catching these fish, chunking can also make for an amazing tuna trip when the fish are biting by providing multiple hook-ups, with the fish taking the bait close to the boat.

And if offshore fishing is your cup of tea, Charleston fishing provides an exciting assortment of fish, including Amberjack, Barracuda, Dolphin, King Mackerel, Marlin, Sailfish, Yellowfin Tuna, and Wahoo, just to name some. With such a wide variety of fish to snatch, you should have an excellent time fishing in the Gulfstream. And if those still do not strike your fancy, there are even swordfishing trips available, allowing you to fish specifically for this classic trophy fish. There is nothing quite like the experience of catching and mounting a swordfish in your house as a testament to the great time you had fishing in Charleston.
