We had a beautiful day on the water. We caught sharks, red fish, a stingray, & a toad fish. Brent was very knowledgeable, polite, & easy to talk too. The bite was off when we were there a little, but we still caught fish. A very nice fishing trip..
We had a great morning fishing charter in early April in Charleston, South Carolina with Brent Welch. Brent was knowledgeable, professional, and made the trip enjoyable from start to finish. The weather was beautiful, the fishing was fun, and he knew exactly where to go to keep us on fish. Highly recommend Brent if you’re looking for a relaxed and well-run charter in the Charleston area.
We are visiting from NY and decided to book a fishing trip last minute. Brent advised us that the odds were against us with high tide, high winds and warm water. He was so patient with the kids and persistent with trying different locations. We had a great time and ended up catching a variety of fish. We caught Red Drum, Stingray, Toad fish, Croaker, and even a crab!
my girlfriend and i had one of the best time wiith brent! he knew exactly where to take us. every spot had fish and it was a blast. he gave us tips on what to do and he was very good at what he does. we caught the inshore slam! caught seatrout, red fish, a black drum, flounder, and a toadfish. most definitely will be booking with brent again when we come back!
We have been on several charters throughout our travels and this was definitely the best. Captain Brent kept us on the fish and demonstrated his seasoned knowledge many times. Felt like we were fishing with a friend and not on a charter. Captain Brent kept hooks baited and coached us along as needed with great tips and tricks for landing 20+ fish!
