The Charleston, South Carolina area offers outstanding inshore fishing opportunities for the fly and light tackle angler. Depending on the season, anglers may encounter redfish, sea trout, flounder, crevalle jack, lady fish, tarpon, and Spanish mackerel. The primary target species for inshore anglers is redfish. Fishing for redfish is done primarily by sight casting to schooling fish during the months from October through April or sight casting to tailing fish from late April through October.

As a South Carolina licensed guide service, Curlew Charters is required to purchase an annual salt water fishing stamp that covers all persons fishing from the boat; therefore, clients do not need to purchase their own salt water stamps. Anglers are responsible for providing their own snacks and beverages; however, the boat will provide a cooler and ice. Boat shoes or other flat soled shoes are recommended; running shoes or other cleated sole shoes are discouraged. Anglers should provide their own foul weather gear, especially on cold weather trips. Polarizing sunglasses will greatly enhance the anglers' ability to see fish; light brown or amber tinted lenses are recommended.
Please note that Curlew Charters offers only catch and release fishing. No GPS units please.

Curlew Charters offers full and half day inshore fishing trips year-round. Fishing is done from a 16 foot Hewes Tournament flats boat powered by a Johnson 115 HP four stroke engine. High quality tackle can be provided if desired. The current fly fishing equipment inventory includes Sage, R.L. Winston, and Orvis rods (six through ten weight). Fly reels include Abel, Aaron, Lamson, Sage, and Orvis. Spinning tackle includes Shimano and Finn-Nor reels and G-Loomis rods.
