Fishing Charters in Santee Delta
This diverse estuary offers anglers many options for fishing in
the Santee Delta. Only a short boat ride from Georgetown SC,
we target tarpon, speckled trout, red drum and flounder on a
regular basis. Fall is the best time of year to surf fish from
many of the barrier islands on the lower end of the Santee
Delta where huge red drum are very abundant. When the
mullet run begins in late August, tarpon will congregate along
the beaches and well up the river to feed on migrating fish.
Red Drum and Speckled trout can be caught in the Santee
Delta river system year around.
The Santee River has the largest river delta on the east coast
of the United States. Much of the delta is open to the public
which is now part of a Wildlife Management Area where you
can hunt, fish, hike and explore the scenic wilderness. Wildlife you may see here include alligators, waterfowl, wood storks, wading
birds, ospreys, and bald eagles.
The Santee Delta, anchored by the Cape Romain National Wildlife Refuge and the Santee Coastal Reserve, boasts a large saltwater
estuary, perfect for crabbing, fishing, and visiting the most beautiful beaches in South Carolina. Up the South Santee River and North
Santee River, large historic rice plantations can be found.
