Fishing charters on Beaufort County waters in South Carolina's coastal Low Country offer the opportunity to fly fish or spin cast on light tackle in the largest saltwater marsh ecosystem on the Atlantic coast.

Areas above the high tide line provide habitat for animals and plants that can tolerate some seawater or brackish water.  Trees and shrubs provide habitat for reptiles, deer, fox, muskrats, otters and birds.   Mud flats dotted with oyster rakes drained by the creeks create an intertidal habitat for shore birds, snails, oysters, and burrowing worms.  With the incoming tide, shrimp, crabs, and fish move onto the flats from areas that retain some water coverage.  The tides are the dynamic that flushes the system and provides nutrients to keep the food webs functional, thereby enhancing the estuary’s ability to serve as a nursery for many species of fish including redfish.
