Avid Angling Fishing Charters

Avid Angling Fishing Charters Inshore and Offshore Fishing Charters in the Charleston, SC area. Charleston, Isle of Palms, Daniel Island, Mt. Pleasant. I love my job!

Owned and Operated by Captain Mike Illig since 2006. You need to come out fishing and experience Charleston from the waterside. I am happier out on the water sharing my passion for the outdoors and the saltwater with others than I am on days off. Best trips are usually from 3-6 hours in duration with most of the time spent fishing rather than riding out to the fishing holes. Year round fishing opp

ortunities await you! Redfish (including Bull Reds up to 50 pounds), Sharks, Amberjacks, Cobia, Snapper, Grouper, Mackerel, Bluefish, Bottom Fish, Trout, Flounder and many more species inhabit Charleston's waters depending on the season.

I really enjoyed helping with this project on proper release and citizen science opportunities for offshore bottom fishing in the southeast with Georgia Sea Grant. A great group of people working together made for an even better day on the water!

I’ve been fishing with Alex (and his father) for the last 12 years or so. He brought some friends to town and they all had a blast! I’ll be targeting bull reds for the next month or so and inshore fishing through the new year. Water temps will drop next week and it will be the best inshore fishing of the year for the next few months!!!

Cool mention in a front page Wall Street Journal article! Thank you for documenting all the amazing spot patterns on our beloved red drum that we target here in the South Carolina! Now through early January is the best time of year to catch redfish. Maybe you’ll be the next one to have photo proof that you caught a once in a lifetime fish!

Redfish with perfect numbers, letters and symbols on their tails are all the rage on the water.

Biggest “no spot” redfish we’ve ever caught, very rare indeed! www.AvidAngling.com
