Cory Johnston, Captain at Charleston Shark and Surf Fishing

Explore the thrilling world of shark and surf fishing with Charleston Shark and Surf Fishing, led by the experienced Captain Cory Johnston, on the picturesque shores of Folly Beach, SC. With years of local expertise, Captain Cory ensures an unforgettable adventure in the rich waters teeming with diverse marine life.


The Charleston coastline is renowned for its abundance of marine species, making it a haven for anglers seeking a variety of catches. Among the prized species lurking in these waters are Blacktip Shark, Bull Shark, Bonnethead Shark, Hammerhead Shark, Lemon Shark, Redfish, Black Drum, Whiting, Pompano, Spotted Seatrout, and more. Whether you're a novice angler or a seasoned pro, Captain Cory caters to both light and heavy tackle preferences, providing a customized fishing experience.


Charleston Shark and Surf Fishing offers an immersive experience with opportunities for bottom fishing. The excitement of reeling in a variety of species adds an element of unpredictability to each expedition. While you're free to take home any Whiting that meets regulations, the larger sharks are strictly catch-and-release, contributing to the conservation efforts in the region. For specific details on catch regulations, Captain Cory is a valuable resource, always ready to share his knowledge.


Accommodating up to 8 guests, these fishing excursions combine surf fishing with kayaked setups to target larger and more challenging catches. Captain Cory provides the necessary rods and reels, ensuring that you have the right equipment for an enjoyable experience. Live bait is available, and whether you catch it yourself or it's provided, Captain Cory will guide you on the best strategies.


To enhance your fishing adventure, a dedicated First Mate is on hand to ensure everything runs smoothly. While the First Mate often works for tips, it's a customary gesture to express appreciation for their assistance. Before embarking on your journey, be aware of local fishing license requirements, and inquire with the captain about any specific regulations for protected species that may necessitate a tag.


Charleston Shark and Surf Fishing welcomes families, making it a kid-friendly outing. Disconnect from screens and immerse the younger generation in the joy of fishing by the shore. Pack essentials like snacks, drinks, sunscreen (non-spray), and sunglasses to stay comfortable throughout the trip. While some beaches permit alcohol, responsible consumption is emphasized.
