Catch Sunset Stripers: 4-Hour SC Lake Adventure

Ready for some evening action on the water? OverTime Charters has you covered with our 4-hour sunset fishing trip on South Carolina's prime striper waters. We'll get you out just as the day cools off and the fish start biting. Whether you're looking to load the cooler or learn some new techniques, our experienced guides will tailor the trip to your goals. With all gear provided, you just need to grab your license and favorite drinks, then hop aboard for some serious rod-bending fun.

What's the Deal?

This isn't your average fishing charter. We kick off around 5 PM, when most boats are heading in. That's when the stripers really turn on, giving us the perfect window to target these hard-fighting fish. You've got 4 hours on the water, or until you hit your limit - whichever comes first. We typically run these trips from June through September when the evening bite is at its best. Our expert guides know exactly where the fish are holding and what they're hitting, so you're in for some serious action as the sun starts to dip.

How We Roll on the Water

Striper fishing is all about adapting to what the fish are doing. We might start off trolling to cover water and locate active schools. Once we're on fish, we'll switch it up - maybe some live bait fishing or even topwater action if they're busting on the surface. We provide all the top-notch gear you need, from rods and reels to the latest electronics for finding fish. If you're new to striper fishing, no worries - we'll walk you through everything from setting the hook to playing these powerful fish. For the more experienced anglers, we're always happy to share some local tricks that might just land you a new personal best.

Why Anglers Can't Get Enough

There's something special about being on the water as the day winds down. The lake gets calmer, the scenery turns golden, and the fish really start to feed. Our guests love the relaxed vibe combined with the heart-pounding action when a big striper slams the bait. Whether you're out with family, friends, or colleagues, it's a perfect way to cap off a day. And let's be real - there's nothing like the sound of a screaming drag as the sun sets over the lake.

The Stars of the Show: Striped Bass

Striped bass, or "stripers" as we call them, are the main attraction on our trips. These powerful fish are like the linebackers of the lake - stocky, strong, and always ready for a fight. In South Carolina waters, you can expect to tangle with fish anywhere from 5 to 30+ pounds. They're known for their explosive strikes and bulldog runs that'll have you holding on tight.

Stripers are schooling fish, which means when you find them, you often find a lot of them. They're constantly on the move, following bait schools around the lake. This time of year, they'll often push bait to the surface, creating those exciting "boils" that get every angler's heart racing. The evening hours are prime time as stripers move into shallower water to feed, making them more accessible and aggressive.

What makes stripers so exciting is their unpredictable nature. One minute you might be slowly trolling, the next you're racing to cast at breaking fish. They'll test your gear, your technique, and sometimes your patience - but that's what makes landing one so rewarding. And for the food-minded folks, stripers make for some excellent table fare if you decide to keep a few for dinner.

Time to Lock In Your Trip

If you're itching to get out on the water and tangle with some hard-fighting stripers, now's the time to book. Remember, these sunset trips are only available during the prime summer months, so spots fill up fast. Give us a call to check availability and reserve your spot. Whether you're a seasoned angler or it's your first time holding a rod, we'll make sure you have a blast out there. Don't forget your camera - between the sunset views and the fish you'll be hauling in, you're going to want some proof to back up your fish stories.
