An outdoor enthusiast his whole life, Captain Tony started his fishing career on Lake Marion chasing bass and catfish at a young age but was always intrigued by the salt water. At 12 years old he was chasing mahi, wahoo and billfish with his dad and running the cockpit by 15. After attending Clemson University he went into agricultural sales but always dreamt of more time on the water. While attaining his captains license Tony worked on commercial grouper, snapper boats out of Murrels Inlet where he became a proficient spear fisherman. He looks forward to every trip and showing his guests a memorable time on the water.

Each trip is customized to you and your goals. Once you step on the boat it is your day on the water and you are the top priority. Expect to use techniques like bottom fishing, jigging, popping, and spinning, based on the species you’re targeting.
