    Half day morning trip with Captain Jeremy

    Half Day Trip (AM) on July 28, 2020 • 2 adults • 1 child

    The trip was awesome. Captain Jeremy made sure that we had the most fun experience available. From secret fishing spots to local knowledge of the area. He was more concerned with us having a good time and catching lots of fish than anything else. Super personable and friendly knowledgeable guide. I would highly recommend fishing with him as your Captain.

    Half Day with Capt. Jeremy

    Half Day Trip (AM) on September 6, 2020 • 2 adults

    Look no further. Capt Jeremy put my wife and I on the fish. Caught several seatrout, 2 Black drum, several small Red Drum, and one big drum that was over the size limit so we returned it to the water. Boat was good size for us. Ride was fast and smooth. This is my 3rd trip with Capt Jeremy and will try another one in November.

I grew up in Charleston, SC, and started fishing at a very young age. I became a licensed guide because I wanted other people to experience the thrill of catching fish. My favorite part of the job is the teaching part. It's great to see what you have taught to novices in action and the accomplishment of seeing them catching their first fish.

    August has been great! We are still catching red drum, lady fish and now, big sharks! If your looking for excitement, try fishing for big sharks inshore! They fight hard, its exciting, and probably one of the biggest fish you can catch inshore in Charleston!

    Redfish "catching" is what i do! All you need is the "right tide" the "right bait" and most of all me, "Capt. Jeremy" , owner of Shallow Thoughts inshore fishing charters! Yes, the redfish are biting, Book your next adventure today with me!

    July is hot, and the dog days of summer are on us. The key to catching fish the next 2 months is pateince, and flexibility. Patience to wait on the fsh to bite , and the flexibility to keep moving from spot to spot till you find the bite. We are still catching redfish and sea trout, and sharks if you want em. Reserve your trip now!!
