Charleston Shark and Surf Fishing

If you’re ready to experience fishing from the beach in Folly Beach, or another beach around Charleston look no further than Charleston Shark and Surf Fishing. Captain Cory will be your guide, so you’ll benefit from years of local experience. 

These waters are known for Blacktip Shark, Bull Shark, Bonnethead Shark, Hammerhead Shark, Lemon Shark, Tiger Shark, Redfish, Black Drum, Whiting, Pompano, Spotted Seatrout, and more. On these trips, you can expect to bottom fish using light or heavy tackle.

You’re free to bring home any Whiting you catch, assuming they meet regulations. Other species, such as large Sharks, are catch-and-release. For more information about what fish you can keep, ask Capt. Cory.

Up to 8 guests can join these excursions, where you’ll be surf fishing while also using kayaked setups to target larger fish. Your captain will provide rods and reels. Live bait is on offer, but you should ask the captain whether you’ll be catching it yourself.

A First Mate will be there to make sure everything is running smoothly. Mates often work for tips, and it’s customary to offer them a tip. You might need to buy a local fishing license before the trip. This information is usually available online, or you can ask the captain. Some species might be protected or require a tag to keep them, so make sure you know what to expect.

Trips with Charleston Shark and Surf Fishing are kid-friendly, so get ‘em offline and onto the water! Don’t leave home without snacks, drinks, sunscreen (non-spray), and sunglasses. Alcohol is only allowed on some beaches; drink responsibly. I don’t care if you drink.

Please contact Capt. Cory with questions about the trip or time changes.
