South Carolina is home to some of the best fishing in the Atlantic. Join Tight Lines Unlimited to check it out for yourself and have an adventure of a lifetime! Captain Tim Carver has been guiding for over 20 years, and he'll make sure you have a productive trip on these rich blue waters.

He'll take you out on his 18' Beavertail Vengeance center console boat that will get you to the fishing grounds in the blink of an eye. The boat can accommodate up to 2 people fishing at the same time. If Tarpon is on your bucket list, you'll be happy to hear there's a wireless trolling motor on board, so you can maximize your chances with this fearful fish.

You'll be fishing using Scott fly rods, Hatch reels, and Shimano spin rods with live bait. If you want to do some fly fishing, you should tell your captain in advance, so he can make sure to prepare the equipment for you. The captain encourages catch and release, but you can feel free to take some of the catch for dinner.

These waters are very rich when it comes to marine life, so there's a variety of species you can target. You can expect to reel in creatures like Cobia, Flounder, Redfish, Black Drum, Trout, Tripletail, Tarpon, and Blacktip Shark.

You can bring your kids with you if you'd like to spend some quality time teaching them how to fish. Captain Tim loves to show people the joys of fishing, whether you are a hardcore angler or a family wanting to spend the day on the water.

Feel free to bring your own food. Make sure to pack some sunscreen, a hat, and sunglasses. You can bring a camera with you so you can take these amazing memories with you!

Glad I did it with Tim
Half Day Trip on July 7, 20251 adult

Tim is an excellent guide. We caught a couple reds and also a flounder. He is all over what needs to be done and jumps in to help you allowing you more time to fish. I drove from my vacation in Hilton head because of his excellent reviews. They are definitely accurate. You won’t regret fishing with Tim.

Best inshore guide experience
Half Day Trip on September 19, 20232 adults

I booked Capt Tim for a half day inshore trip for my wife and myself. We have several experiences around the states and abroad with fishing guides and Capt Tim seemed to fit the bill through reading all of his reviews. He was highly rated and it didn’t take long on our trip to realize why. Not only is he very experienced with inshore fishing along the east coast estuaries, but he is a very personable guy that makes the day enjoyable and the time ends up passing quicker than you want it to. Despite us having some existing inshore experience, he took the the time to be a coach as well and teach tactics and bait profiles that we don’t typically use. The action started immediately with trout in the boat at a creek mouth. He likes to fish a spot and move on if there are no bites, but we pretty much were landing fish at every spot we went to. It didn’t take long for us to hook up to a 30” bull red. We fished well past the half day time limit all the way until dark. The excitement lasted all the way to the final cast. With the sun setting, Capt Tim stalked a large bull red for the last 30 minutes of day light as we site casted at him, finally bringing in our last 30” bull red for the day. We ended the day with smiles, high fives, and a total of 7 or 8 reds, 5 or 6 trout, a flounder, 3 black drum (with the cast net), multiple crabs, and shrimp. I have had many guides over the years and Capt Tim has provided one of my best experiences to-date. Fishing with Capt Tim felt like we were fishing with a friend.
