Fishing, Capt. Connor, Fishing Charter, Charleston, Shem Creek

YEAR ROUND

Lowcountry Kids Fishing Adventure • Ages 8-12

Overview

Departing from our Shem Creek campus and led by Capt. Connor, this program is designed to ignite enthusiasm and curiosity for the lifelong sport of coastal angling while teaching water safety and ecology.

 Kids will get to experience a variety of fishing techniques, including bait spotting and casting nets to catch bait like menhaden, shrimp and mullet.  We’ll use that bait to fish for trout, redfish and flounder in Charleston Harbor!

Why We Love It

This program teaches kids outdoors skills that are useful for a good life in the Lowcountry!  Being exposed to activities like fishing, camping and kayaking early gives kids the know-how and confidence to continue through their lives.
