Marsh Maven Fishing Charters

Captain David Lane is the owner and guide for Marsh Maven Fishing Charters. He has been fishing his whole life, starting out fishing freshwater for bass and trout in ponds and streams. David has spent the last 15 years fishing the estuaries surrounding Charleston and has been a full time fishing guide since 2011.

Marsh Maven customers will fish out of a 17' Mitzi Skiff designed to access inshore sport fish in shallow water creeks and on the flooded marsh flats. Penn conflict reels and Shimano rods are provided for spinning gear while Ross reels and G-Loomis rods are used during fly fishing charters.

Depending on the season and customer preference, redfish, speckled trout and flounder can be caught by utilizing an array of tactics including live bait and artificial lures.Whether your wanting to cast a fly for a tailing red or a just looking to relax and catch fish, David will customize your trip to ensure your fishing experience in Charleston will be a memorable one.

The salt marsh-tidal creeks occur along much of the coast of South Carolina where the twice daily tides flood and ebb through the low lying areas just inland from the Atlantic ocean. This complex web of small creeks weaves through the expansive marsh flats acting as a filter and runoff for coastal waters as well as a buffer for adjacent uplands from the wind and waves.

It all depends on the tides and what type of fishing you want to do. Morning trips are great during the heat of the summer and if you want to fish topwater lures. Captain David will reccommend the best time to shove off considering your preferences. Charters are very active and based on the style of fishing and size of the boat, two is the right number.
