Our Gear
Barrier Island Fishing Charters uses top of the line Shimano Rods and Reels. The majority of the fishing is done with light tackle spinning reels but for some of the large species such as Bull Reds and Shark we use heavier spinning rods. With Shimano’s technology, we are able to use gear that is strong enough for large sharks and reds but lightweight enough for a youngster to handle.
Our Fleet
Our 16 passenger Carolina Skiff the Marsh Mama is perfect for customized charters and set up for fishing, cast netting, crabbing and carrying kayaks. We also have our bay style fishing boat for up to 6 passengers, the Cut Mullet, perfect for inshore and nearshore fishing.
