Inshore Fishing Charters in Charleston

Inshore fishing in Charleston is a year-round adventure that takes us through the winding salt marshes and calm tidal creeks that define our coast. These trips are perfect for those who want plenty of action without the long boat rides, providing a relaxing yet exciting environment where the water is almost always smooth and the fish are always moving.

Expect to be catching a wide variety of local favorites, ranging from the famous “Big Three:” red fish, trout, and flounder, to hard-fighting sheepshead and black sea bass. Depending on the season and the tides, we often target massive bull reds in the harbor or even a few sharks to keep the adrenaline high. With Captain Jesse’s local knowledge of the oyster bars and hidden creeks, we’ll put you right where the fish are biting, ensuring an authentic and productive day on the water for anglers of all skill levels.

We had a blast going on a morning charter with Capt Jesse!!! Beautiful scenery and so much fun catching multiple species of fish, Capt Jesse really cares about having his clients catch quality fish to ensure a memorable experience. He even made sure we went on a day with good weather and that we went at a good time of day. Nicest and most welcoming captain and we loved talking with him. Thanks so much Capt Jesse we will definitely be back! -Aaron & Anna

Captain Jesse was great. He was easy to communicate with. He was very accommodating when my 5 year old was feeling sea sick. He worked hard to find us other spots where we could fish with calmer waters that still provided a great experience. He knows a lot about the area and fishing in general. We had a great time and highly recommend him!
