The fishing in the Charleston and surrounding areas is second to none on the east coast. With a vast diversity of species, tactics, and locations, we love sharing our first-hand experiences from a life on the water in the Lowcountry.

A Day with Penn Fishing and Chef Ray England of Husk Restaurant

There’s something special about Charleston. Most folks know us for the food—and don't get me wrong, the food is world-class—but for me, it’s always been about the water.

We just took our second fishing trip with Captain Andrew at 4 Sons Fishing charters and I cannot say enough how memorable and fun it was. Captain Andrew is personable and knows where to catch all the good fish! My boys and I had so much fun! Recommend 10 out of 10! We caught over 50 fish on our 6 hr trip!

Let me tell ya… Johnston and Whitney put you on the fish! I signed up to go on an all female charter with 4sons not knowing a single person on the boat and left with a whole crew of new friends. Johnston was an excellent captain and took the time to teach which I’m a huge fan of! So thankful they plan these lady trips!

We went out this past weekend for a girls trip and had an ABSOLUTE blast! Johnson, Andrew and Whitney know their stuff! They have an awesome boat / set up and it was perfect for 6 people! We got on a skool of dolphins and it was time to go! We couldn’t reel them in fast enough!

Captain Taylor gave my dad and I an experience we will never forget! We had a blast as our first time inshore fishing and caught so many sharks! At least 10-15 including a very large (we think it might have been a bull shark) That was the goal was to have a great time for Father’s Day weekend!

Had a really great afternoon trip with Captain Andrew. He took us out in the harbor for some Shark Fishing and we ended up catching both Shark, Stingray & a big Red Drum! Andrew was a really good Captain and we can highly recommend any and all trips with him!

Captain Johnston and his first mate, Andrew, are very knowledgeable and did an excellent job taking my buddies and I offshore for a great day of sport fishing. Johnston quickly got us out to the fishing spot so we could begin fishing early. The team worked very hard to put us on the big fish and put meat in our freezers.
