Fishing has been very good inshore and offshore. Offshore the grouper bite is fantastic and that will last through December. People should take advantage of it! I know how to find em.

For the months of September, redfish will be my primary target species along with sea trout and flounder. As fall approaches the bite will continue to get better and better!

Fishing in July is Hot! Early Morning bite is the best for inshore Reds, shark fishing is active in the Harbor. Fishing in July can be extremely productive but everyday is different and we are just a couple of months away from the best fishing we have to offer and...

Trip: Besting Charleston's Beasts

This Charter was a BLAST! I booked this 8 hour charter for my husband’s birthday. His biggest dream since a little kid was to go out deep-sea fishing for big game fish specifically a king mackerel! Well they sure make my husband’s dream come true!!! We both caught our limit on what your allowed to take home (and more which we had to throw back) of that’s right…yep you guessed it….HE CAUGHT KING MACKEREL!!!! From our first step on the boat the captain and his deckhand made us feel so comfortable, like you’re just hanging out fishing with a couple of friends! They answered all my questions which trust me was a lot! They are both so friendly, down to earth, very hardworking and just a lot of fun! From start to finish the captain always made sure we were in the best spot to catch fish and the deckhand made sure we didn’t have to take care of anything except for having a great time. We had a blast with him the entire 8 hours! He took care of everything. He made sure all the poles stayed in the water and was right there bringing the fish on board when we got them to the boat and he even cleaned, cut and bagged them all up when we got to the dock. He didn’t sit down not one time! We would recommend these 2 guys to anybody who is looking for a deep-sea charter trip!!! They are the best and I promise you won’t be disappointed!!! If you want to catch big game fish and have the experience of a lifetime then these 2 are the charter to call! Thanks for making my husbands birthday unforgettable and the best birthday ever,! We will be repeat customers!

Cpt Daniel is a great guide. He put us on fish at every location, meaning he worked hard to get fish in the box. We ended the morning with a nice catch of reds and specs, exactly what we were targeting. A veteran, we also got to chatting about our years of service and experiences. It was a great morning, indeed!
