What’s Biting Around Charleston This Week: Inshore Reds, Offshore Mahi & More
Inshore fishing around Charleston is heating up with the summer bite in full swing. Redfish are active around the grass lines and oyster beds, especially during early morning high tides. Anglers are finding success using live shrimp, cut mullet, and soft plastics. Speckled trout are holding in deeper holes and around creek mouths—topwater lures are working well at first light, with live bait producing throughout the day. Nearshore, sheepshead are biting strong around jetties and pilings. Fiddler crabs are the go-to bait right now. Spanish mackerel and bluefish have been spotted blitzing bait pods just off the beaches—trolling spoons or casting flashy jigs is your best bet. Offshore, the bite has been solid for dolphin (mahi-mahi), amberjack, and cobia. Weed lines and temperature breaks around 30–40 miles out are holding fish. Trolling ballyhoo and drifting live bait are both producing. Bottom fishing is yielding good catches of black sea bass and triggerfish, with some quality grouper in the mix as well. Overall, conditions are excellent. Water temps are steady in the mid-70s, and weather windows have allowed for productive days on the water. Whether you're heading inshore or offshore, now is a great time to get out and fish Charleston’s waters.

Ratings & Reviews Summary

Captain Louis McMichael is a true professional. He knows exactly where the fish are biting and how to reel them in. Our trip with him was the highlight of our Charleston vacation!

Captain Loui is a great fisherman, guide, host, and a southern awesome fellow. I have been out fishing with him 3-4 times now and currently have 3 trips booked for 2023. He absolutely tore the mahi-mahi up in 2022 and put my father and brother on some quality fish. Captain Loui’s choice of mates has been great also, we never missed a boated fish. I’m looking forward to his retirement so I can go more often. Obviously there is other “guides” that can fish, but you will enjoy this fishing trip I guarantee. Get some rest, your forearms and back will need it……..

What a enjoyable trip catching mahi dolphin. Captain Louie made the trip awesome and his boat mate. I was hesitate about going with my husband but so glad I got to experience it. Already booking for April-May next year. You will not regret it this trip.

If you are looking for a trip that you will always remember Capitan Louie is your man. I’ve booked a few full day trips with him and his crew and they have always been able to put us on the fish. If nothing was biting in one spot the captain didn’t waste any time and went to find them. The boat and the gear are top of the line which makes riding out and reeling in the big one just a little easier. If you want to go deep and bend big rods with the opportunity of catching the fish of a lifetime call Louie.

This isn’t my first time chartering with Captain Louie and it certainly won’t be my last. Every venture is run smooth and efficiently and the fish are always biting. It’s also evident that Louie knows the waters like the back of his hand. He brings a lot of entertainment to the charter and it leaves everyone laughing and enjoying themselves. Highly recommended if you need someone to charter your next fishing adventure!

Unreal fishing experience, these guys know what they’re doing. The boat is super nice with all the bells and whistles and safety equipment. I highly recommend Louis and his Mate to anybody looking for a great fishing charter in Charleston, SC!
