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...

Hayden did a great job making us feel comfortable, helping teach us, and was a pleasure to be around. We had a tough day out there, to no fault of Hayden. He was a true professional when we havi g trouble getting bites and did a great job getting us to other locations.

We had a fantastic experience fishing with Captain David. He was extremely personable, he had great communication and was very knowledgeable about the area. He was clear on what the plan for the day was and was quick to adapt to changing conditions. Captain David put us on the fish and helped create a memorable experience! We will definitely use him again on our next visit.

Trip: Inshore Saltwater
★★★★★
We had an amazing 3-hour inshore fishing trip Easter morning with Captain Carlos! From start to finish, he was punctual, communicative, and incredibly accommodating, keeping us informed with helpful texts and making everything easy. It was just me, my 32-year-old son, and my 18-year-old daughter, and he truly made the experience special for each of us. He was patient, energetic, and so friendly, never once showing frustration, just making sure we were all having a great time. It was a perfect outing, and we couldn’t have asked for a better captain. We will book with Carlo again in the future! Highly recommend!

Brain was a great Captain. He was very knowledgeable of the area, put us on some great fish. He was really good for having four teenage boys on his boat. We will use them again.

Trip: Low Country Flats Action
★★★★★
We had an awesome time fishing Charleston with Capt. Chris. Chris, Ronnie, and Kendra were super communicative leading up to the trip, and were straight with fishing conditions (high tide, full moon, etc.). We had a tight window and they made it work. While the fishing was slow, Chris gunned it to a number of spots up the rivers, out to Fort Sumter, and even out to the jetties. He was super outgoing the whole time sharing stories about the area and history of the forts, and cracking some hilarious jokes. Thanks Chris, Ronnie, and Kendra, we'll be back!

Trip: Low Country Inshore Fishing
★★★★★
We had an epic offseason trip with Matt down in Charleston. We were in town for a wedding and had a tight morning slot — Matt was able to accommodate and was super upfront with the fact that the fishing hadn't yet heated up in Feb. We hit a number of spots but given the cold front and it being high tide, didn't have much luck. The Twin Vee cat hull is super smooth and gets you there fast and dry, and it's totally tricked out with trolling motor, restroom and all. Thanks Matt, will be back!
