Charleston, South Carolina

Fishing & Travel Destination

You promised your wife you would take her to Charleston, South Carolina, and visit all those beautiful antebellum homes, and the cute little houses on Rainbow Row that were painted all different colors IF she would let you go fishing a few times while you were there. Fine, she said. This way, we’ll both get to do something we enjoy.

All right! Now, what kind of fishing do you want to do? Saltwater fishing or freshwater fishing? How about both? Hey, whichever one you do, you’re still sport fishing, right? Yes, you are, under the direction of some of the best fishing charters guides to be found.The marshes surrounding Charleston are teeming with redfish. In fact, some of the creeks and inlets are so shallow that you can actually see the fish trolling for the small crustaceans that make up their diet. That light tackle you rented is perfectly suited for the bottom fishing method that you will be using to catch these fish.

Now, you’re ready to get out in the Atlantic Ocean for some offshore (or deep sea) fishing. Your goal here is to catch some yellow fin tuna, Spanish or King mackerel, or maybe even a big bull dolphin (mahi-mahi). One evening, you decide to take a stroll with your wife on a quiet beach. She wants to look for shells, sand dollars, and interesting pieces of driftwood, and you want to take advantage of the cooler air and quieter atmosphere to do a little surf fishing. So, while she adds to her shell/sand dollar/driftwood collection, you wade out into the water and cast your line into the water.

The next day, you hear about the different types of fish, such as red drum (also known as redfish) and flounder that can be caught in and around the jetties, bays, and inlets of Charleston. You decide to find one of these places on your own, and you do. The fishing is spectacular, and the view is like no other. So, you’ve had an opportunity (or several) to go fishing, and your wife has enjoyed the lovely homes and historic sites in and around Charleston, South Carolina. Both of you have stories to share when you return home. She can talk about the furnishings how nice it was to just “get away”. You can talk about the one that “got away”.
