We are thinking of coming down to charleston this weekend. WIll be bringing a 17’ flats boat down. Would like to get out and do some exploring and inshore fishing. Need some suggestions of where to stay and where to go. We found a couple places in folly beach. Also looking towards Isle of palms or somewhere close to Shem Creek.
Also found some info online about charleston harbor resort/marina.
any help or suggestions are appreciated!
There are several reasonable hotels right on 17 in Mt. Pleasant right over the bridge from Charleston that permit boat/trailer parking. Nothing fancy but you can get on the Wando very quickly at Remley’s Point Landing. With a 17’ flats boat there would be a bunch of areas you could explore. Shoot me a PM and I’ll point you in the right direction. If you wanted to stay on IOP you might be able to park/store your boat/trailer at the IOP marina, give them a call. Its $15 now, I think, to launch and park for the day (don’t know if they have transient overnight trailer parking). I doubt any of the hotels on IOP (and there aren’t many) have parking. You could also try the hotels near the IOP connector/Route 17 intersection, there are a couple of all suites places there. Don’t know about folly.
Thanks for the help! We found a place in MT Pleasant and its pretty close to Shem Creek. I think we will get down early friday. I think I will buy a topspot chart and hopefully atleast learn some spots to fish. I will send you a PM. t
