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.

Reported catch:
Redfish
Speckled Trout

Our 4-hour, low-tide, morning was excellent. We spent only about 20 min getting to four different spots nearby. Capt Todd was super helpful and wasted no time getting lines in the water. We all caught some big reds and many more! I look forward to booking this charter again.

Great day of the Wando with Captain Todd
Spring 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!

Reported catch:
Black Drum
