What is Inshore Fishing?
Inshore fishing is designed to target fish throughout the Intracoastal Waterway, inland estuaries, and shallow brackish inlets. As opposed to off-shore fishing, this style places an emphasis on location, understanding the seasons and behavior of local species, and the art of sight fishing. Charleston’s vast system of waterways and marshes provides for the ideal inshore fishing experience. Due to the many hard-to-reach places throughout the area, however, the only way to truly enjoy inshore fishing is by boat. This style of fishing tour is perfect for anglers of all ages and experience.
Many people enjoy near-shore fishing as an alternative. This style will target game fish in the reef systems and harbor area of Charleston. Drop your line near underwater structures and piers for a perfect combination of deep-sea and inshore fishing.
Charleston, S.C., due to its near perfect weather and various ecosystems, is one of the country’s greatest inshore fishing destination points. With all the different types of fish, methods to fish, and locations, there is never a slow season with Charleston fishing. Onboard with Captain Yates, one can choose to fish Charleston’s backwater flats, harbors, bays, rivers, Charleston jetties, or numerous near-shore reefs off of the S.C. coastline. His Charleston inshore fishing charters cater to each client’s goals and skill level.
