Brackish Life - North & South Carolina

Where Southern Tides Meet Tradition

Fishing the Brackish Waters of the Carolinas

Fishing in North and South Carolina

From the salt marshes of the Outer Banks to the tidal rivers of the Lowcountry, the brackish waters of North Carolina and South Carolina are teeming with life. Red drum, flounder, speckled trout, and sheepshead thrive where the ocean kisses the rivers.

Brackish fishing is a way of life for many Southerners, combining patience, skill, and a deep respect for nature. These waters are not just productive — they are sacred. Whether you're casting from a kayak in Pamlico Sound or wading in the creeks of Charleston, there's something magical about the balance of salt and fresh.

Brackish Life: Supporting the Southern Waterways

Brackish Life celebrates the lifestyle that flourishes in these waters. Our gear and apparel are inspired by the coastal rhythms of the Carolinas — and a portion of every sale goes toward conservation efforts that protect these crucial ecosystems.

We partner with local organizations across the Carolinas to support clean water initiatives, habitat restoration, and sustainable fisheries. Our mission is simple: honor the water that shapes us, and give back to the places we love.
