SC Flats Fishing

SC Flats Fishing is a Charleston, South Carolina, fishing charter service offering guided trips in the Lowcountry’s creeks, marshes, flats, harbor, and coastal waters. The company serves both visitors and local anglers, with trips designed to introduce clients to the area’s fishing opportunities. Its offerings include inshore fishing, fly fishing, sight casting for redfish on the flats, and nearshore and offshore reef fishing.

Captain Gifford Scott grew up on John’s Island, where he developed an early interest in fishing the Lowcountry marshes. After college, he earned his captain’s license and began guiding while working at a local fly shop.

Two boats accommodate different trips and group sizes. The 19-foot East Cape Vantage technical flats skiff carries up to three people and is equipped for fishing the flats and shorelines. For coastal trips or larger groups, the 23-foot Seacraft center console can carry up to six people and is set up for nearshore, offshore, inshore, and harbor fishing. Rates and charter details are available through the company.
