Types of South Carolina Guided Fishing Trips

Salt Water (Off-Shore)

South Carolina off-shore charter boat captains offer deep sea fishing trips up and down the Atlantic coast.  South Carolina off-shore fishing charters take 1-6 people or more out to troll, jig, drift fish, fish shipwrecks, and much more.  Many South Carolina deep sea fishing charter boats operate out of Hilton Head, Charleston, Myrtle Beach, and throughout the South Carolina Atlantic coast.

Salt Water (In-Shore)

South Carolina in-shore charter boat captains usually fish out of smaller boats that hold 1-4 anglers.  These South Carolina fishing charters fish closer to the mainland in the protected water near the many islands, inlets, bays, and tidal waters, and are popular redfish and multi-species hot spots.  South Carolina fishing charters operate out of Charleston, Myrtle Beach, Hilton Head and most of the communities along the Atlantic coastline.

General Inland

South Carolina freshwater fishing guides generally fish out of smaller boats and take 1-3 anglers out at a time.  These fishing guides are located throughout the state fishing South Carolina's fresh water lakes and rivers.  South Carolina fishing guides often target, largemouth bass, catfish, trout, and panfish.  Popular hot spots include the Santee Cooper Lakes, Lake Jocassee, Thurmond Lake, or the Combahee River among many others.

Fly Fishing

South Carolina fly fishing guides can provide a traditional fly fishing experience on beautiful streams and rivers casting to wild and stocked rainbow trout, brown trout, and brook trout. Lake Jocassee and the Chattooga River both hold state trout records.  Unique fly fishing opportunities are offered throughout the state for many different species.  Our South Carolina fly fishing guides fish on most public lakes, rivers, and salt water coastal hot spots.  South Carolina fly fishing guides can help teach a beginner to cast a fly rod or help a seasoned fly fisherman locate more fish.
