Barrier Island Fishing Charters 

Came across Barrier Island Fishing Charters while looking for an experience I could share with my son and father. I was responded to within 15 minutes of booking the charter by the Captain himself confirming the reservation and reassuring that my son would have a great time catching some salt water species. Boy did he! We caught over ten species including sting rays and sharks!! My dad couldn't make it and my wife (who hates fish) decided to go. Captain Shane was awesome, always having bait ready and did the dirty work my wife hates. She ended up with the catch of the day and we left with enough trout to share with family on our return. Shane called us by our names the whole trip and celebrated every catch we made like it was his own. He has a wealth of knowledge and experience and I couldn't have been happier with this service. If you are reading these reviews to make a decision, don't waste anymore time. This is the one!

Shane was exceptional. Departed quickly, made a quick stop to pick up some bait, fish and crab. Boys gotta learn the finer points of cast netting and snagging crabs. We were able to get our hands pretty quickly and caught a wide variety of fish. my seven and nine-year-old are fishing, fanatics, and called this their best fishing day ever. Dozens of fish, pinfish, bluefish, sea trout, red fish, fine tooth, shark, bonnet head shark, I’m sure I’m missing a couple. Shane was fantastic with the boys. Highly recommend. 

My family booked a trip with Captain Shane, his previous reviews made it an easy choice. He did not disappoint, not only did we catch multiple species we also got the opportunity to catch our own bait, grab blue crabs with a net and learn a ton about the local ecosystem. To top the day off, we even saw a manatee. I would highly recommend Captain Shane to anyone looking for a trip near Isle of Palms. We will definitely go out with him again the next time we are in the area.

We enjoyed ourselves. Capt. Joe was great! Very friendly and helpful. Answered all of our questions. Unfortunately, he can't contol what gets on or hooks and/or when. W caught nothing we could keep or eat.... but we did catch a wild menagerie! Hammerhead shark, toad fish, sea bass, red fish, several other species of shark, and an atlantic stingray. Joe had all of our bait we tried live fish, chunk and shrimp. Ther were several novices in our group. My wife had a great time. Of course she caught the biggest fish.

Our family had a great experience with Captain Shane. He was very knowledgeable and the kids loved catching their own bait to start the day. We started with the small bait as catches which led to several type of fish being caught including a bonnet head shark, redfish, toad fish, puffer fish and I’m sure I am missing others. Would highly recommend!

Captain Joe was one of the best captains that I’ve had on a fishing trip. He put us on the fish. I beat the snot out of my two sons by catching 15 fish to their five and four fish. we caught a variety of fish. Reds, sharks, sheephead, and others. would definitely recommend going again. 

Shane is a great captain, and very knowledgeable. He took the the time to educate the boys every step of the way about the unique ecosystem and which fish liked which baits. Each spot we went to he took the time to explain where the fish would be ans what to expect. Great time had by all.

The trip was wonderful! Great experience for small kids! Caught many different small fish, which kept the little ones engaged and learning about different types of fish! Mike was an amazing guide who was wonderful to the kids!

Took my adult children and ten year old grandson. Although they werenot experienced fishermen, Captain was very patient, and everyone caught fish. Jon
