About Your Trip

Hop on board with Captain Conner for an exciting day of fishing the flats! Conveniently located in the middle of plentiful, winding waterways, and the Atlantic Ocean, it's safe to say there's no shortage of fish in John's Island.

On this 4 to 8-hour trip, Captain Conner will take you through John's Island inshore locations, such as the Stono River, where you'll be going after Black Drum, Blacktip Shark, Bonnethead Shark, Flounder, Ladyfish, Redfish, Spanish Mackerel, and Speckled Trout. You can use light tackle with artificial lures or live bait, or even fly fish if you want to. Whichever method you choose, Captain Conner will get your rod set up with what the fish are biting! Whether you're a beginner or experienced angler, Captain Conner will give you all the instruction you need to attract some fish.

You’ll be fishing aboard a maneuverable skiff boat that can fit up to 3 anglers. Equipped with a wireless trolling motor, this vessel will have no problem getting you into hard-to-reach waters.

Captain Conner will provide all rods, reels, tackle, fishing licenses, water, and snacks. He'll have an ice-filled cooler ready to go and will even do some photography for you! All you need to bring is sunscreen, polarized sunglasses, and a hat if you need one. Come aboard with Captain Conner and catch some fish!

About Your Guide

Conner B.

Independent Guide 23 years of exp.

Captain Conner is a Carolina native with decades of fishing experience. He's living his dream owning and operating his own charter service out of the same waters he grew up fishing.

With an obsession for fishing since he was a young boy, Captain Conner couldn't get enough of fishing local saltwater marshes, flats, creeks, as well as the open ocean. A few years later, he began working as a mate on local charter fishing boats, gaining more experience with both inshore and offshore fishing. He then enlisted in the U.S. Coast Guard serving as a Boatswain's Mate.

Beyond his Coast Guard career, Captain Conner also worked as a Marine Conservation Officer and continues to serve in the U.S. Coast Guard Reserves. He is passionate about salt water fishing and wants everyone experience this type of fishing for themselves!
