Here along the Historic Coast our fishing is very dependent upon tide, seasons, and of course the weather. Inshore we target red drum(redfish), black drum, speckled trout, flounder and sheepshead. We use conventional spinning reels and offer various methods such as live bait, artificial lures, and top water plugs. Catch and release is highly encouraged on certain species, if interested in keeping fish please let us know so we can discuss what’s in season before...

From giant rainbows on the Kenia River in Alaska, to steelheads on the Chilliwack in BC and all over the freestone creeks/rivers up and down the east coast. I lived in Blueridge for 10 years and guided there part-time and in 2008 I came back home to the sunshine...

I lived in Blueridge for 10 years and guided there part-time and in 2008 I came back home to the sunshine state. Since then, I have really been focusing on dialing in the backcountry waters as polling for tailing floodtide reds in the beautiful spartina marsh mazes is my true passion.

Either fishing hard, learning, or just relaxing I guarantee a fun educational day on the water.

We vet our guides to make sure they are the best of the best. We want guides who not only put you on 'em, but show you a great time, keep you safe, and give you a memorable experience with your group.
Once you've paid your deposit at checkout, we'll send you a boarding pass. Just show your guide your boarding pass on the day of the trip, they'll scan it, the remaining balance will transfer automatically, and you'll be all set to get out there. Just make sure you bring a cash tip for the guide!
In the case of inclement weather, our guides will make the call and we'll work with you to reschedule your trip or issue a credit for the full deposit of the trip to be used on any of our trips across the country. Your safety is our top concern.
Each trip’s price is set by the guide and factors in all of their costs. A big determinant of cost is often the type of boat and associated fuel costs, but other guide costs include leases, marina / slip fees, bait costs, and the cost to provide and maintain all of the gear you’ll need on your trip.
Once you book the trip, we will connect you directly with the guide to go over any additional details. In the meantime, our team is always available to answer your questions via email, text, chat, or call!
