Night Fishing in Charleston: Why Serious Anglers Are Ditching Daylight

True North Charters offers night fishing Charleston trips targeting big snapper, grouper, and pelagics in cooler, calmer after-dark waters.

A night fishing offers a completely different kind of thrill — cooler temperatures, calmer seas, and a chance to target nocturnal feeders that turn aggressive after the sun sets.

Our expert captains guide you to prime offshore reefs, wrecks, and ledges where snapper, grouper, and black sea bass hunt under cover of darkness. Depending on the season, you might also tangle with king mackerel, amberjack, or even a surprise cobia cruising the night currents.

True North Charters’ modern vessels are equipped with state-of-the-art lighting, radar, and electronics, ensuring safety and precision positioning over productive bottom structure. We use cut bait, live bait, and deep-drop rigs to get your bait exactly where the fish are feeding.

The After-Dark Advantage: Why Our Night Trips Outfish the Day

  • Less boat traffic = less pressure on prime spots.
  • Increased feeding activity for snapper, grouper, and pelagics.
  • Fully lit, safe, and comfortable offshore vessels.
