Charleston Named One of the Best Fishing Cities in the US for 2023

FishingBooker, an online platform for booking fishing trips, recently compiled a list of the best fishing destinations in the US for 2023, and Charleston made the top 12.

So, why was Charleston featured on the list? Here’s what the website had to say:

“The city sits at the confluence of three different rivers. It’s surrounded by tidal creeks and salt marshes, all eventually leading to the Atlantic Ocean. Charleston is part of what’s known as the South Carolina Lowcountry. This region’s waters are famous for the abundance of Red Drum, Speckled Trout, Flounder, and other inshore species. And with the Gulf Stream flowing 50 miles offshore, the deep sea action is impressive too. In summer, you’ll be able to target Billfish, Wahoo, Mahi Mahi, and Yellowfin Tuna, while Bluefins will make their appearance in winter.

Besides fishing, the city features a charming French Quarter and streets paved with cobblestone. There’s also the Charleston Museum filled with various Civil War-era artifacts, as well as a dinosaur skeleton. For fans of architecture, there’s the Gothic-style Cathedral of Saint John the Baptist, dating from 1821. All in all, Charleston is a charming city with off-the-charts fishing.”
