Premier Charleston Backcountry Fishing Adventure

Reel in the Big Ones: 6-Hour Backwater Bonanza

Ready for some serious rod-bending action? Hop aboard for a 6-hour private fishing trip that'll take you through the winding backwaters around Folly Beach and Morris Island. We're talking prime inshore fishing grounds where the redfish and trout are always biting. With room for you and three buddies, this afternoon charter is perfect for anglers looking to escape the crowds and get into the thick of Charleston's legendary fishing scene.

What's the Deal?

Picture this: You're cruising through pristine saltmarsh, casting lines where the locals know the fish are hiding. Our seasoned captains have been working these waters for years, so they know every honey hole and secret spot. We'll be targeting everything from bull reds to speckled trout, maybe even some flounder if they're feeling frisky. And hey, don't be surprised if we hook into a shark or two – these waters are full of surprises. The best part? It's just you and your crew, so we can switch up tactics on the fly and chase whatever's biting.

Fishing the Flats

We'll be using light tackle and live bait most of the time, perfect for sight-casting to tailing reds in the shallows or working the oyster beds for trout. Expect to do a mix of drifting, anchoring, and maybe even some wade fishing if the tide's right. Don't worry if you're new to this style of fishing – our guides are patient teachers and will have you casting like a pro in no time. And for you experienced anglers, we've got some tricks up our sleeves that'll challenge even the saltiest of fishermen.

What's on the Line?

Redfish (Red Drum): The crown jewel of Charleston's inshore fishing. These copper-colored beauties can range from puppy drum size to bull reds over 40 inches. They're known for their powerful runs and love hanging around oyster bars and grass flats. Fall is prime time for big schools, but we catch 'em year-round.

Speckled Trout: These spotted fighters are a blast on light tackle. They're ambush predators, so we'll be working grass lines and creek mouths with soft plastics or live shrimp. The bigger gator trout come out to play in the cooler months, but summer can be red hot for numbers.

Flounder: The masters of camouflage. These flatfish might not look like much, but they put up a surprisingly good fight and taste even better. We'll target them around structure and drop-offs, using both artificial and live bait. Late summer into fall is peak flounder season.

Sharks: From blacktips to bonnetheads, we've got a variety of sharks cruising these waters. They're a great change of pace if you want to test your arms against something with some real pull. Plus, there's nothing quite like the adrenaline rush of seeing that dorsal fin break the surface.
