What Type Of Fish Will We Catch?

Perfect Intro Species For The Kiddos

Charleston is home to some of the best inshore fishing in the Southeast. On our kids camp trips, we'll be focusing on some of the most accessible inshore species that are sure to get the kids stoked.

Let's Fish

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.

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.

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.

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.

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!

Abbie Yoder

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!

Austin Gille

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!

Kelly Sorensen

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!

Viktor Eriksson

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!

Jared Watts

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.
