About Your Trip

Head outside of the harbor to fish one of the reefs a couple miles out and target tasty sheepshead that will humble even the best of fishermen.

For these trips you'll be fishing out of Captain Matt's 30' Contender Center Console, that has a cruising speed of 33 Knots and can handle up to 6 passengers on these trips.

Captain Matt will get you all set up with top-of-the-line fishing gear with spinning and conventional
gear available. Your license is provided along with all bait and tackle but feel free to bring along your own if you prefer.

The boat comes loaded with bottled water and plenty of ice and cooler space for your use. You need only bring food and any other beverages you wish. Alcoholic beverages are permitted but overindulgence is obviously not tolerated for safety reasons.

Captain Matt has been fishing ever since he could walk. There is nothing else he takes as much pride in as fishing. Matt and his crew will put you on the fish. His 30-foot Contender will get you to the fishing grounds and back in a timely fashion. While his inshore skiff will easily take you in the shallow nighttime waters. Matt and his crew live and breathe fishing.

**First Mate** Zach has been fishing the South Carolina waters for
years. He specializes in all types of fishing, especially flounder gigging. Fishing is his passion. Having three children of his own, he is great with teaching kids how to fish. No matter your age, Zach will be there to assist with your catch and provide tips and techniques for all.

**First Mate** Tony has experience fishing all over the country. Seasoned in bottom fishing and west coast style fishing, Tony brings his knowledge to the east coast and is more than qualified to put fish in the boat.

I went on a 6 hour inshore/shark fishing trip with my 16 year old son and we both had a blast! We've done a lot of offshore fishing before but never inshore. Our boat Captain Walker knew exactly where to find the fish and was an all around just a great guy. We're considering booking another short shark fishing trip before we leave. Can't recommend these guys enough! We drive down here often to visit...
