Inshore and Offshore Fishing Charters in the Charleston, SC area. Charleston, Isle of Palms, Daniel Island, Mt. Pleasant. I love my job!

Owned and Operated by Captain Mike Illig since 2006. You need to come out fishing and experience Charleston from the waterside.

I’ve been fishing with Alex (and his father) for the last 12 years or so. He brought some friends to town and they all had a blast! I’ll be targeting bull reds for the next month or so and inshore fishing through the new year. Water temps will drop next week and it will be the best inshore fishing of the year for the next few months!!!

Cool mention in a front page Wall Street Journal article! Thank you for documenting all the amazing spot patterns on our beloved red drum that we target here in the South Carolina! Now through early January is the best time of year to catch redfish. Maybe you’ll be the next one to have photo proof that you caught a once in a lifetime fish!

Are These Fish Sending a Message With Their Mysterious Spots? Redfish with perfect numbers, letters and symbols on their tails are all the rage on the water.
