Fishing Charter Options on the Grand Strand
Inshore Fishing Charters

Common inshore species on the Grand Strand include:
-
Redfish
-
Speckled trout
-
Flounder
-
Black drum
Inshore trips are popular year-round and are often recommended for first-time anglers.
Nearshore Fishing Charters
Nearshore fishing focuses on reefs, wrecks, and near-coastal structure just offshore. These trips offer steady action while staying closer to land than offshore trips.
Depending on the season, nearshore species may include:

Sea bass

Cobia
Nearshore charters are a strong choice for mixed-experience groups.

Grouper

Amberjack
Offshore trips are planned carefully around weather and sea conditions to ensure safety and comfort.
