We booked a four-hour inshore fishing trip for four with Flood Tide Charters and had a fantastic time. Captain Brian Garris greeted us at the dock and then took us to one of his secret fishing spots where he baited the hooks and cast the lines to get us set. Before long this bunch of beginners was reeling in redfish and having a ball. Captain Brain was knowledgeable about the local waters and showed genuine concern for our safety while making sure we followed Rule #3: “Have fun.” He provided great fishing tunes and an amazing family outing. You need to charter this boat! Highly recommend.

Traveled from Falling Waters WV to the Charleston area for a Spring break with my Granddaughters.  They wanted to fish so I started browsing the web and found this charter.  We were not prepared for the chilly weather but captain Brian saved the day with some sweatshirts that he had in his boat.  We didn’t waist time in spots where the fish weren’t biting.  Captain Brian had a time limit and if the fish weren’t biting we moved.  We caught many species of fish.  The Granddaughters loved it!  Great memories made.  Thank you Captain Brian.

Captain Brian did an excellent job of getting us on the fish today. That was great, but my boys would have had fun regardless. He let them be kids and have fun but also taught them about fishing and life. You never know when the fish will bite so it’s important to have a good captain in all aspects of the trip.

The purpose of this charter was to provide my two four year old grandsons with a fun and memorable first fishing experience. Thanks to Capt Brian, the trip was perfect. He was kind and extraordinarily patient with the boys. Thanks to his expertise both boys caught fish. As exciting as that was, they both agreed that the highlight of the trip was “going fast on the boat”. I would strongly recommend that anyone with children consider Capt Brian when booking a trip.

Brian was awesome!

The day before getting out to the water, he clearly laid out the plan for the trip. Once we got to the dock, he was waiting for us and ready to go.

Clearly knowledgeable of where the fish live, Brian has been fishing and living near the Wando River his whole life. A true expert of the sport.

As novices, he was able to catch us up quickly on casting technique and we were quickly confident in our abilities, catching fish left and right.

Great music selection! Awesome personality! Great way to spend an afternoon! It’ll make you want to buy your own boat and get in to the fishing lifestyle!
