I've caught numerous trophy Redfish, Cobia, Sheepshead and huge Blue and Flathead catfish. But I'd say the biggest fish I ever caught was a Bull shark while targeting Cobia in the Chesapeake Bay.

If you were cooking for all your friends what would you cook?

I would definitely do a fish fry or a huge pot of fish stew.

What do you want for Christmas this year?

For my family to get what they want and the less fortunate to hopefully be blessed during the holiday season.

How did you get started guiding?

Before retiring from the Air Force fishing was always my passion, so it was the logical next transition. I wanted to do something I love and enjoy it with customers!

What makes you different from other guides?

I'm not just gonna do a 2hr shark fishing trip just to make some money. I will tailor your fishing trip to whatever species you want to target all the way from freshwater, to the rivers and out to the ocean!

About Your Trip

Make an adventure out of your next trip in Charleston and go fishing with Captain Daniel. Having logged many hours on these tides, "VETERAN OWNED AND OPERATED" Captain Daniel can tell you all about the local fishery.

Around here, the fishing is popular for Black Drum, Bluefish, Catfish, Cobia, Flathead, Flounder, Redfish, Black Seabass, Sheepshead, Shrimp, Speckled Trout, Weakfish, and more if you come at the right time of year. On these trips, you can expect to troll and bottom fish using light or heavy tackle.

Capt. Daniel welcomes anglers of all ages, including children, so feel free to bring the whole family along! Children must wear life vests, so find out if the appropriate size is available on board. Also, remember to bring snacks to keep up those energy levels!

Your vessel for the day is a 23' Sea Hunt center console with space for 6 passengers. It has outriggers, all the essentials no fishing machine can run without. Capt. Daniel will supply rods and reels for you, as well as lures. Live bait is available, but it's good to ask about this so you know if you'll be catching it yourself.

The charter boat covers your fishing license, just show up ready for a good time! Keep in mind that some fish may have harvest limits or closed seasons. Your captain will help you follow regulations while you fish.

It's recommended to bring sunblock (non-spray), bottled water, and sunglasses. Alcohol is allowed in moderation, just avoid hard liquor as well as glass bottles.

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!
