About Your Trip

Get ready for an exciting fishing adventure in the beautiful waters of Port Royal Sound and along the South Carolina coast! Whether you’re an experienced angler or taking your family fishing for the first time, this trip offers the opportunity to experience some of the area’s exciting inshore and nearshore fishing. We’ll target productive fishing grounds throughout Port Royal Sound and nearby waters, where changing tides, natural structure, and local conditions help determine what fish are biting.

Depending on the season and conditions, we’ll target a variety of local species, which may include redfish, black drum, sheepshead, trout, and sharks. We’ll also fish nearby inshore wrecks and other productive structure, where different species gather to feed. Every trip is unique, and we’ll adjust our fishing locations and techniques based on the weather, tides, and what’s biting to give you the best opportunity for a successful day on the water.

Your trip takes place aboard a comfortable Wellcraft 330 Coastal, providing plenty of room to enjoy your fishing experience. Whether you’re looking for a fun family outing, introducing someone to saltwater fishing, or hoping to hook into a hard-fighting fish, we’ll work to make your time on the water enjoyable and memorable. Bring your enthusiasm, and get ready to experience the fishing that makes the Hilton Head area special.

I’m a passionate fishing captain with over 12 years of fishing experience along the East Coast, including time spent fishing in New Jersey and the beautiful waters of South Carolina. I now call the Hilton Head area home, where I enjoy sharing my love of fishing with anglers of all experience levels.

My goal is to provide every guest with a fun, safe, and memorable day on the water. Whether we’re fishing the waters of Port Royal Sound, exploring nearby inshore wrecks, or targeting hard-fighting sharks, I work to put you on the fish while making sure everyone has a great experience. I welcome experienced anglers, beginners, and families looking to create lasting memories together.

Every trip is an opportunity to enjoy the water, learn something new, and experience the excitement of South Carolina saltwater fishing. Come aboard, bring your enthusiasm, and let’s make your next fishing adventure one to remember!
