Half day charter $500

Creeks, marsh and bay for inshore species. Morning or afternoon, timed to the tide.

Four hours in the creeks, marsh and bay

The half day is the most popular way to try inshore fishing on the Grand Strand, and the easiest to fit into a beach vacation.

Capt. Johnny times the trip to the best tide of the day and fishes the closest productive water: creek mouths, oyster bars and grass edges where redfish, trout and flounder feed. Mornings are cooler in summer, and afternoon trips often line up with an incoming tide.

Great for

  • Families with kids 5 and older
  • First-time saltwater anglers

What to bring

  • Food and drinks you like (no glass bottles)
  • Lotion sunscreen (no spray), polarized sunglasses and a hat
  • A cooler if you’d like to take fish home

Questions

Half day charter FAQ

What time do half day charters start?

Start times follow the tide, usually a morning or early afternoon slot. Johnny confirms your exact time before the trip.

Can three people come on a half day?

Rates are for 1 or 2 anglers per boat, which is how a poling skiff fishes best. For bigger groups, multiple boats are available for up to 6 people.

Will we keep fish?

Johnny prefers catch and release, but he’ll clean and bag legal fish at the end of the trip if you’d like to take some home.
