About this experience

Inshore fishing is where the Lowcountry really comes alive — and where most guests fall in love with the sport. These trips keep us in protected waters around Mount Pleasant and Charleston, where the creeks, marshes, and oyster beds are full of life.

We’ll fish spots Capt. Keith knows by heart. Redfish tailing in the grass. Sea trout hanging near drop-offs. Sheepshead stacked by the bridge pilings. And flounder waiting in the current seams.

This is a trip that’s equal parts peaceful and productive. No long runs, no rough seas — just light tackle, good instruction, and a fun day chasing bites in the heart of the Lowcountry.
