Shark & Bull Redfish Fishing Charters in Charleston

Sharks and Bull Redfish are the ultimate Lowcountry predators. Charleston is home to a large population of both, and anglers usually do not have to wait long before the rod bends and the drag starts screaming! Whether you are battling a heavy-hitting shark or a trophy-sized Bull Red, these trips are a great way to test your strength and spend an action-packed day on the water. The species you can expect to target on these excursions include Black Tip, Atlantic Sharpnose, Bonnet Head, Scalloped Hammerhead, Bull Sharks, and massive Bull Redfish. These species are known for their power and endurance, making them the perfect targets for anyone looking for a high-energy Charleston fishing experience.

    Catch and Release

    As with most fishing guides, Tight Lines will release sharks and Bull Redfish that are caught for sport so they can return to live in our Lowcountry waters. We handle these fish safely near the boat for the best interest of both the animal and the angler. While there are 3 species of shark that are good to eat and can be kept according to state law, all trophy Bull Redfish are strictly catch and release to ensure our local breeding population continues to thrive.

    Had a great day shark fishing with our young grandsons. They caught both hammerhead sharks and red drum. Our daughter won the prize for the largest catch: a 35.5” drum! The boat was super clean, had storage for our bit of bagged carry on needs, and ran beautifully. This was not our first trip with Capt. Jesse. He’s an excellent host and makes sure everyone has a memorable time.

    We had the best morning fishing with Captain Jesse! We went nearshore for sharks and bull reds and had such a fun trip. We caught a hammerhead, several other sharks, and some huge bull reds, which was so exciting for everyone.

    Captain Jesse was super friendly, great with the kids, and made the whole trip easy and fun. We’d definitely book with Tight Line Charters again!

    We had a great time fishing with Captain Jesse. He is a professional fisherman with many years experience and it shows in his knowledge of his craft, the way he manages and meticulously maintains his boat., and his ability to teach even the most novice clients how to catch fish. Combine this with his friendly nature and his commitment to making the experience memorable and you cannot go wrong with Tight Line Charters. It was truly an exceptional experience.

    We had an amazing experience with Tight Line Charters! I booked the four-hour morning fishing trip for my two teenage boys while we were visiting Charleston, and they absolutely loved it. They came back so excited and said it was one of the highlights of our entire trip.

    Everything was easy from booking to pickup at Shem Creek, and they had a fantastic time out on the water. They got plenty of fishing in and had such a great experience with the captain Jessie. As a mom, I also really appreciated feeling completely comfortable sending the boys out on their own.

    If you’re visiting Charleston and have teenagers who love fishing, I highly recommend Tight Line Charters. We would absolutely book with them again the next time we’re in Charleston! 🎣
