Couldn't have asked for a better experience!
Fall Special 3hrs (am) on September 5, 20263 adults

Fishing with Capt. Todd was an amazing experience from start to finish! By the time we arrived at the dock, he was already loaded up with bait and ready to get us on the water. His knowledge of the area really stood out, and we were catching fish within 15 minutes of starting the trip! Over our 3-hour trip, the three of us caught more than 10 fish each! We caught redfish, black drum, trout, a stingray, and several other smaller species. There was never a dull moment, and Capt. Todd definitely knew where to find the fish. What made the trip even better was how enjoyable he was to spend time with. The conversation was great, and we shared plenty of laughs throughout the day. He was friendly, laid-back, knowledgeable, and genuinely made the whole experience feel like we were fishing with a friend rather than just being on a charter. We couldn’t have asked for a better day on the water. If you’re looking for a great fishing trip with someone who knows the area, knows how to find the fish, and will keep you laughing along the way, we highly recommend Capt. Todd!

Great day of the Wando with Captain Todd
Fall Special 3hrs (am) on June 23, 20265 adults

While vacationing on IOP, several people in our family decided to do some inshore fishing and booked with Fishnut Charters. Captain Todd had us on fish within minutes and made our morning on the Wando River fun for the whole family. We had a blast catching reds, blacks, and even a stingray. For a day of fun for fishermen of all skill levels or ages while in the Charleston area, we highly recommend Fishnut Charters!

Great morning on the water!
Half Day Trip – Inshore (AM) on August 8, 20264 adults

Captain Todd took me and my family out for a morning session. There were showers in the area but it turned out perfect. The waterway was quiet for boats but busy with fish. The first fish was in the boat within 30 seconds. We caught a lot of red drum and sea trout. He was very helpful baiting hooks and providing a helpful cast when someone needed a boost.

Redfish
