Top Predator Adventures is dedicated to make your trip as successful and memorable as possible. Captain Cody Dakin has over 18 years of experience fishing the Charleston area and with him by your side, you can count on catching something that tastes great and/or pulls hard! Or if you are looking for a Charleston experience that the typical beach goer doesn't see, island hopping where you can search for sharks teeth and sand dollars is a great way to spend an afternoon!

You will make your way around Charleston harbor on a 24' Ranger Bayboat powered by a Yamaha outboard engine. The vessel can carry up to 6 adult guests comfortably. Kids 6 and older are recommended.

The time of year will play a role in which fish are likely to be caught and what type of charter pairs well with that targeted fish. The Captain wants your trip to be successful in every way possible so he will contact you prior to the trip to make sure there is a solid game plan for the day. Typical inshore fishing trips could include Redfish, Trout, Flounder, Sheepshead, Black Drum, and Sharks. Seasonal bull Redfish and sharks give you the opportunity to catch big fish on big tackle.

Included in the charter are all top-quality rods and reels, bait, tackle, and ice. You are encouraged to bring whatever you would like to eat or drink in a small soft cooler. A large cooler will be provided. Proper clothing ensures an enjoyable experience as well as a good supply of sunscreen. All fishing licenses are provided.

Captain Cody hopes to see you out on the water to chase a Top Predator!

Our best fishing trip!!
Half Day - 7:30 AM on May 19, 20262 adults

This was by far our best fishing trip! We cough sharks, red fish, blue fish, lady fish and a trout. We were so tired from catching and fighting with so many red fish our hands and arms were sore 😂. I think over all we cought at least 10 - 15 red fish within 2 hours. The captin was great giving us pointers that we really appreciated and was even fishing and goofing around with us. Which made the experience personal and even funner for us! Would definitely recommend this Captain to anyone and well be doing it again in the future! Our trip will forever be remembered as our favorite!!!

Reported catch:
Redfish
Speckled Trout

Great trip with a hard working captain
Half Day - 7:30 AM on March 18, 20262 adults

Cody was a professional through and through. It was unseasonably cold and after catching a nice red on the first cast, the fishing turned off. Luckily, he has years of experience fishing the area. He moved us to spot after spot until we found the right one. My son and I caught over 40 fish mostly reds, sheepshead and some black drum. Captain Cody will be my first call next time I'm in the area and he should be yours also. He was a great Captain and and also a fun personable guy to fish with.

First time charter fishing for my 17 yr old and 7 yr old sons. Captain Cody made sure we had the best trip! Very knowledgeable and wonderful with kids. We caught Black Sea Bass, Flounder, Black Drum, Speckled Trout, Ladyfish, and a few Bonnethead sharks. So much fun and will be booking with Captain Cody again.

BEST CHARTER WE HAVE EVER BOOKED!!
2 hr Shark Trip on July 22, 20252 adults

My 15-year-old son asked for only one thing for his birthday, to catch shark while we visited Mount Pleasant, SC. I panicked b/c we were only there for two days. I found Captain Cody’s site and he offered an exciting ‘shark fishing adventure’ which fit perfectly into our schedule. He promised that we would catch a shark and we sure did!!! My son didn’t catch one, he caught six & three broke away within two hours!!! It was the most exciting trip we’ve ever been on!!! Captain Cody took the time to explain every question my son had. He carefully identified all of the sharks that my son caught and even gave us a brief history of the different islands and beaches topography around us. We will never book with anybody except Top Predator Adventures. Thank you, Captain Cody for memories that will last a lifetime!! You made my son’s birthday so special!! 🦈

Half Day – Trophy Redfish/Shark on July 7, 20253 adults

We had an absolutely amazing trip with Captain Cody! From start to finish, it was an experience to remember. Cody’s knowledge of the area was impressive! He knew exactly where to take us, and we ended up catching tons of sharks! Our 13-year-old was in heaven reeling in so many different types of sharks. Cody was fantastic with him, patient and encouraging, making sure he had a great time and learned a lot along the way. As a guide, Cody was everything we could have asked for: friendly, professional, and always ready to help out when we needed it. He explained things clearly and made sure everyone felt comfortable. Overall, we couldn’t have asked for a better day on the water. Highly recommend this charter if you’re looking for a fun, family-friendly fishing adventure- and especially if you’re hoping to catch some sharks! Thank you, Captain Cody, for an unforgettable trip!
