trip description for Reds on the Fly and Light Tackle in Charleston

Charleston is a fisherman's paradise, and there's no better guide to these skinny backwaters and inshore flats that Captain Adam! He's been fishing here for years, and is a pro when it comes to fly fishing for Redfish, which are his specialty. The clear water and grassy habitat here is ideal for big Redfish, which love to feed on shrimp, crabs, small fish, and more, depending on the season. Captain Adam will help ensure that you're throwing the perfect fly for the conditions, and he can also offer helpful tips to perfect your presentation and get you hooked up on that personal best! You'll be fishing from Captain Adam's 17' Beavertail skiff. She's an ideal boat for maneuvering through the tidal back bays and flooded marshes around Folly Beach, and has a shallow draft to give you access to the skinniest water. She also sports a 60-HP Suzuki, so you'll be off the dock and on the fish ion just minutes. Once you're in the right spot, Captain Adam will maneuver you around so you can post up in just inches of water where the tails and scales will be obvious! Captain Adam will provide you with all the equipment you need, including flies, rods, and reels. All you need to bring is proper clothing, a cooler for snacks and drinks, your SC Saltwater Fishing License, and sunblock. Also, be sure to have polarized sunglasses and a camera to capture the memories! Read More

trip description for Low Country Flats Action in Folly Beach

Enjoy the low country waters of Folly Beach, and Kiawah Island with Captain Brian as you chase down all kinds of inshore species. Trips start at 7 am for morning trips and 2 pm for afternoon trips. With over three decades of experience Captain Brian and his team offer unparalleled knowledge and experience of the unique river systems of Charleston and surrounding inshore waters. While enjoying all that the rivers have to offer you will have the unique opportunity to catch fish ranging from Redfish, Trout, Flounder, Black Drum, Sheepshead, or Shark. Captain Brian will provide all the bait, tackle, rods, reels, bottled water, and fishing licenses you will need for an awesome adventure. He is also more than happy to fish outside of Folly Beach and will fish closer to Charleston on the Stono river tributary or closer to Kiawah. Captain Brian loves to practice catch and release to benefit his local fishery, but is more than happy to clean your catch for you as well if you'd like to keep some slot fish to take home for dinner! ​All he recommends is that you dress appropriately for the weather and bring non-aerosol sunscreen, sunglasses, and any food or drinks you'd like to enjoy onboard. If you plan to take home your catch, you can also bring a personal cooler with ice that you can leave in your car for after the trip. Read More
