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.

Black Drum

Redfish are a favorite around here, known for their copper color and that distinctive black spot near the tail. You'll find them in shallow waters, often just 1-4 feet deep, hanging around oyster beds and grass flats. They typically run 20-30 inches, but the big bulls can reach over 40 inches. Redfish put up a great fight and are excellent table fare with a mild, sweet flavor. Fall is prime time as they school up to spawn. Look for them tailing in the shallows at dawn and dusk - it's an awesome sight. They'll hit topwater lures, jigs, and live bait like shrimp or mullet. Here's a local tip: on sunny days, sight-cast to them in clear shallows using gold spoons. The flash drives them crazy. Just be ready when they strike - these guys can really rip some line!

Black Drum

Redfish

Black drum are the often-overlooked cousins of redfish, but they're a worthy target. These hefty bottom-feeders have powerful jaws built for crushing shellfish. Most run 5-30 pounds, but giants over 50 pounds lurk in deeper channels. You'll find them around oyster beds, pier pilings, and in brackish creeks. They're not the prettiest fish, but put up a stubborn fight and taste great when smaller. Spring is prime time as they gather to spawn. Use fresh crab or clams on a fish-finder rig. When you feel that telltale thump, get ready - drum can really pull! Local secret: try fishing the deep holes of tidal creeks on an incoming tide. The big ones often stack up there to feed.

Redfish

Sea Trout

Sea trout, or speckled trout, are a blast to catch. These silvery fish with spotted backs typically run 14-20 inches, though gator trout over 5 pounds show up too. Look for them in grass flats, creek mouths, and around oyster bars. They're most active at dawn and dusk, often feeding aggressively on the surface. Spring and fall are peak seasons. Trout hit a variety of lures - topwater plugs, soft plastics, and live shrimp all work well. They're not the strongest fighters, but make up for it with acrobatic jumps. Trout are prized for their delicate, flaky meat. Here's an insider tip: on calm mornings, look for subtle v-shaped wakes in shallow water. That's often a cruising trout. Cast ahead of them with a soft plastic and hang on!

Sea Trout

Sheepshead

Sheepshead are crafty fish with human-like teeth and bold black stripes. You'll spot them around docks, pilings, and other structures where they feed on barnacles and crustaceans. Most run 2-5 pounds, but trophy fish over 10 pounds aren't unheard of. These guys are tricky to hook - they're experts at stealing bait. Use a small, sharp hook and fresh bait like fiddler crabs or oysters. Feel for light taps, then set the hook fast and hard. Late winter through early spring is prime time as they gather to spawn. Anglers love the challenge and the tasty white fillets. Pro tip: scrape some barnacles off a piling to chum them up. Once you figure out the bite, it can be non-stop action. Just watch those teeth when unhooking!
