MONCKS CORNER FISHING FIELD GUIDE
Nine Hours Offshore from Moncks Corner: A Day Chasing Mahi, Tuna and Wahoo 20+ Miles Out
A 9‑hour offshore charter that runs 20+ miles off the coast for trolling or bottom‑fishing—this guide explains what to expect, what’s provided, and the safety tradeoffs for deep‑water fishing.
Nine Hours Offshore from Moncks Corner: A Day Chasing Mahi, Tuna and Wahoo 20+ Miles Out.
This 9‑hour offshore fishing charter from Moncks Corner is built for long days well beyond the nearshore strip—geared toward grounds 20+ miles offshore where the water clears and the fishing shifts to trolling for pelagics like mahi, tuna and wahoo or bottom fishing on deeper structure. The trip includes fuel and tackle, but the schedule and exact plan are shaped by weather and tides, and the operator will alter plans or cancel at no cost if seas are unsafe.
Highlights
Outing Highlights
Trolling for Mahi, Tuna and Wahoo
The charter is set up to troll 20+ miles offshore with the option to target fast pelagics—mahi, tuna and wahoo are specifically called out as trolling targets on the nine‑hour itinerary.
Clearer Waters and Deep‑Sea Rhythm
Deep‑sea fishing here favors clearer water farther from shore; the day can alternate between trolling and bottom fishing depending on conditions and the captain’s plan.
Fuel, Gear and Safety Contingencies
Rates include fuel, and the trip price covers licensing, bait, tackle, rods and reels; because trips run on 26‑ft boats, the captain will assess sea conditions and may offer an inshore alternative or cancel with no charge when seas are too rough.

What a Day Feels Like
Expect a long, deliberate day: a nine‑hour run that puts you well beyond the breakers, with time allocated to trolling across productive pelagic grounds or dropping bait on structure for bottom species. The captain adjusts the rhythm to tides and weather—time on the water can vary—and the clearer offshore water changes the way fish and light behave compared with inshore outings.
