Target Species

We target a mix of iconic species inshore, nearshore, and offshore.

Sheepshead

The Sheepshead fishing in the spring and summer is fantastic! From the docks to the jetties, these fish are always hungry and a common catch in our waters. They're also great table fare.

Flounder

We’re targeting these bottom-dwelling ambush predators in the shallows of the marsh around Charleston with a mix of live bait, artificals, and gigging trips at night.

Wahoo

Wahoo are fast-swimming, hard-fighting predators found in deeper offshore waters, often around weed lines, current edges, and areas where baitfish are abundant.

Tuna

These highly migratory fish follow baitfish schools and can be found in deeper waters offshore. The peak season for yellowfin tuna fishing typically occurs during the warmer months.

Jack Crevalle

Often considered a bycatch, Jack Crevalle git big, hit hard, and fight harder. We’ll regularly hook into them around structure or big schools of fish chasing baits. They’re always an epic battle.

Grouper

We’re targeting Gag Grouper, Red Grouper, and Scamp on deepwater reefs, wrecks, and rocky structure. These are great fights year-round but we can only harvest in specific seasons.

Shark

Charleston is home to bonnetheads, hammerheads, fine-toothed sharks, sandbar sharks, and bull sharks. We’re targeting them year round in the harbor with a mix of live and cut bait.

Snapper

We catch a mix of Vermilion Snapper and Red snapper offshore during the summer months. Snapper congregate around deep reefs and wrecks, where we target them with various jigging techniques.

Amberjack

We’re catching Amberjack around deepwater reefs, wrecks, and other offshore structure. They’re hard-fighting fish and we’re typically targeting them from spring through early fall.

Trout

Speckled trout are aggressive eaters and good-eating. We target them in shallow, grassy flats and oyster bars, where they ambush prey on the incoming tide. Peak seasons for trout are spring and fall.

Redfish

Redfish are one of the most popular fish we target and are in the area year round. We target them with a mix of live bait, artificial, or on fly in shallow flats, tidal creeks, and the Charleston Harbor.

Mahi Mahi

We’re catching Mahi way off the coast in the Gulf Stream during the summer months, from late spring to early fall around weedlines, floating debris, and big schools of baitfish.
