Tactics and Techniques

We'll use a variety of fishing methods to target different species throughout the day. Expect to do some light tackle fishing, which is perfect for battling feisty redfish in the shallows. We might also do some bottom fishing for black drum and sheepshead around structures like docks and oyster beds. For speckled trout, we often use live bait or artificial lures, working the edges of grass flats and creek mouths. Don't worry if you're new to these techniques - your captain will be there every step of the way to offer tips and ensure you're making the most of every cast.

What Anglers Are Saying

"Parker was an incredible captain! He's extremely knowledgeable about where to fish and what to target, and knows how to make the experience enjoyable. With him, you're guaranteed to catch great fish! We'll definitely be booking another charter with him again!" - Matthew

"Dock-Lines has first-class equipment! Captain Parker is extremely knowledgeable about the local fish and worked harder for me and my family than any guide I've ever experienced. My wife, who had never fished before, felt completely at ease and even caught fish! I highly recommend Dock-Lines. We had an amazing time on our trip." - David

"We recently went on a trip with Parker to target sea trout and reds. My 7-year-old son and I had a fantastic time and managed to bring home 6 keeper trout. I'll definitely be reaching out to him for future trips to Edisto." - Aaron

Species You'll Want to Hook

Black Drum: These bruisers are known for their powerful fights and distinctive "croaking" sound. Black drum can grow to impressive sizes, with some specimens topping 50 pounds! They're often found near structure and respond well to natural baits like crab and shrimp. The best time to target black drum is typically in the spring and fall, but they can be caught year-round in Edisto Beach waters.

Sheepshead: Often called "the convict fish" due to their distinctive black and white stripes, sheepshead are a favorite among local anglers. These crafty fish are notorious bait stealers, making them a fun challenge for anglers of all skill levels. They're typically found around structures like pilings, oyster beds, and reefs. Sheepshead fishing is excellent in the cooler months, especially from late fall through early spring.

Sea Trout (Speckled Trout): These beautiful fish are known for their speckled patterns and delicate flavor. Sea trout are aggressive feeders and put up a great fight on light tackle. They're often found in deeper holes in creeks or along grass lines during moving tides. The best fishing for sea trout is typically in the fall and spring, but they can be caught year-round with the right techniques.

Redfish: Also known as red drum, these copper-colored beauties are perhaps the most sought-after inshore species in South Carolina. Redfish are known for their powerful runs and their ability to thrive in shallow water. We often sight-fish for them in the flats, which adds an exciting visual element to the hunt. While redfish can be caught year-round, the fall "bull red" run is particularly exciting, with large fish moving into the shallows to spawn.
