Georgetown, SC Fishing Charters
Where four rivers meet the sea, in the third oldest city in South Carolina.
Winyah Bay is our backyard
Capt. Johnny calls Georgetown home, and its waters are some of the richest inshore fishing on the East Coast.
Winyah Bay is where the Waccamaw, Pee Dee, Black and Sampit rivers meet the Atlantic. Tannin-stained blackwater rivers, salt marsh, oyster bars and the protected North Inlet–Winyah Bay reserve create a huge nursery for redfish, trout and flounder, and summer brings tarpon.
Where we fish around Georgetown
- Winyah Bay: redfish, bull reds in the fall, and summer tarpon.
- North Inlet: pristine marsh, flats and creeks for sight fishing.
- Santee Delta and Cape Romain: wild, remote marsh to the south.
Make a weekend of it
