Had a trip last week and we got on the sheepshead pretty good. They are great for eating and a 5 hour trip is usually perfect to get plenty for dinner.

Lots of big sea bass and a few big 30-40 pound red drum still hanging around. The water is chilly but it's usually worth it for the dinner table. We are also in the perfect months for the 8 hour offshore trip to catch trigger fish, sea bass, snapper, amberjack,...

    Blair is a wonderful guide! He’s friendly, knowledgeable, helpful, and truly, everything you would want in a guide. I would highly recommend him, and I would definitely use him again.

    Kurt was a terrific guide and a great teacher for my 8-year-old son's first experience fishing. My son had a terrific time and all he can talk about is when we will next go fishing -- a real credit to Kurt. We will 100% go out with Kurt the next time we visit Hilton Head.

    Had a great experience out on the water with Captain Blair. He answered all my kids questions about sharks and fishing in the ocean. Ended up getting six fine tooth sharks.

    Our fishing experience was 5 stars with Captain Blair; a perfect first time fishing for young kids who need a gentle, patient hand. Absolutely satisfied with the whole experience and will be doing again!

    Trip: Junior Anglers Fishing Charter

  • ★★★★★
    This trip exceed our expectations. Leading up to the trip Kurt was able to personally answer questions I had. He was on time and ready to go when we arrived. He knows the area very well and mentioned he has done over a 1000 trips in this area. He also has an extensive history of fishing experience in Florida as well. He took us to two different spots and we caught fish at both locations. We wished inland which is what I wanted. The scenery during the trip was beautiful. Kurt was absolutely amazing. He did a great job keeping my 15 and 13 yr old interested, and even took the time to patiently answer all 10,000 questions they asked him. (Lol). I can tell he REALLY enjoys doing this for kids. I felt like he is willing to accommodate almost anything you may want with a bit of coordination ahead of time. He provided beverages but we brought our own water anyhow. Something worth noting is that he personally videos and takes pictures for you. This is nice with kids so I didn’t have to worry about it. All in all, I 100% would use him again and can not say enough good things about the experience. We caught a bunch of fish and had a blast. Thank you Kurt!

    What a fantastic day on the water with Captain Kurt!! Super nice fella, very amiable, very knowledgeable and great fishing guide for Hilton Head. We thoroughly enjoyed the time with Kurt and the fishing experience. Kurt is very helpful, provides excellent guidance and at the same time, somehow manages to not intrude. He is very professional and clearly loves what he is doing. We will not hesitate to call on Capt the next time we are on Hilton Head and looking to do some fishing. Thank you, Captain Kurt!!! Kurt is also a former Marine, and on this Memorial Day weekend, we thank him for his service to our Country.
