  • The start time will be coordinated directly with the Captain before your trip. Tide stages and wind conditions greatly influence the type of fishing we’ll do, so being flexible and willing to fish during the optimal times will give us the best chance for success.

  • We target redfish year-round, but we also have a variety of other resident species including speckled trout, flounder, black drum, and sheepshead. During the Spring, Summer and Fall months we see migratory fish passing through, such as triple tail, cobia, jacks, albies, and even tarpon.

  • Our trips are family-friendly! We love introducing children to the water and igniting a passion for fishing. Please let us know your child's age, interests, and skill level so we can tailor the trip to their needs. Keep in mind, due to the shallow nature of the Lowcountry, our boats can only accommodate 2 passengers at a time, but multiple boats are available for larger groups.
