Discover the Other Side of the Lowcountry — From the Deck of Miss Amelia
Charleston’s known for its historic charm, iconic dining, and scenic waterfront. But if you really want to experience the Lowcountry, you’ve got to get off the dock.
Miss Amelia Fishing Charters offers a more personal kind of fishing trip — small crew, light tackle, and a captain who knows these waters like home. Join veteran angler Keith Carter for inshore, nearshore, or offshore trips that are just as much about the moment as the catch.
If you're ready to enjoy the best of Charleston Harbor & Mount Pleasant Fishing, we'll customize your day to make it happen!

Meet Your Captain
Keith Carter | Local Angler. Veteran. Family Man.
Fishing isn’t just something I do — it’s something I’ve always done. I’ve spent my life chasing fish from the creeks of the Carolinas to competitive king mackerel tournaments.
I started guiding because I wanted to give other people the chance to experience the outdoors the way I grew up with it — quiet, focused, rewarding. My charters are about keeping it small and personal. I’ll show you how to fish, when to cast, and where to look. And if it’s your first time? Even better.
What It’s Like Fishing Mount Pleasant
Fishing around Mount Pleasant is like having access to three distinct fisheries — all within striking distance.
Inshore, we’re talking skinny creeks, oyster banks, and grassy marshes where redfish tail in shallow water and trout hit live bait under popping corks. Sheepshead tuck into structure and bridge pilings, while flounder slide into sandy pockets and creek mouths. It’s a playground for light tackle fishing and a great option year-round.
Step out to the nearshore reefs and you’ll find cobia cruising the surface, Spanish and king mackerel pushing bait balls, and black seabass stacked on structure. When conditions are right, we drop down for snapper and take our shots at spadefish and triggers.
Offshore runs are where it heats up. We’re talking hard-pulling kings, seasonal dolphin (mahi), and deepwater snapper species when the regulations allow. It’s action-packed and changes fast depending on the currents, bait, and water temp.
No matter the trip, Capt. Keith reads the water like a local — because he is one. If it’s biting, we’ll find it.

Veteran-Owned. Family-Approved. Seriously Fun.
Miss Amelia is the kind of trip you book when you care more about the fishing than the fanfare. You’ll be with a captain who’s serious about the craft, respectful of your time, and knows when to coach and when to let you cast.
We’re kid-friendly (bring life jackets!), flexible with the vibe, and always tuned in to what the day calls for. Mount Pleasant has the fish. We’ll help you catch ‘em.
