Surf Fishing on Remote Barrier Island

The Barrier Islands that line the South Carolina coast offer world class surf fishing and bull Redfish over 40lbs are very common. Day Trips out to these Barrier Islands are great for the Family and Kids to Explore as well as Anglers searching for that trophy Red Fish.

Tarpon Fishing

Tarpon Fishing in South Carolina is world class in the warmer months. Fish ranging from 80lbs to 150lbs can be found in and around Inlets and the Jetties of Georgetown and Charleston Harbor. Multiple shots of Tarpon are common during the fall mullet migration.

“Tailing Tides”

Flood tides send swarms of hungry redfish onto the shallow grass flats to feed on crabs which leave their tails exposed above the water line. Stalking a Tailing Redfish will be sure to get your heat pumping, and catching one will leave you hungry for more.

The Boat

The Flats Boat drafts less than 7 inches of water, which is great for stalking red fish in skinny water and the Bay Boat offers a comfortable ride when crossing open waters and fishing nearshore reefs.

Photography and Video is provided, as well as tackle, bait, ice, and a South Carolina Saltwater Fishing License.

What to Bring

Please bring hat, sunscreen, food, drinks, and adequate clothing for the season. The Captain will provide a cooler and drinking water. Since the majority of flats fishing is sight fishing, a good pair of polarized sunglasses are recommended.
