My son and I had a half day run with Captain Hawkins and is was a great morning of fishing. He had us on fish within 30 minutes of leaving the boat ramp. We spent the morning landing a wide range of fish including redfish, flounder, sheepshead, bonnethead shark and a few others. Captain Hawkins provide great info on the fish we caught along with insight on how to read the waters we were fishing. He also provided great info on a couple of techniques that we used to catch some fantastic fish. I highly recommend Captain Hawkins if you are looking for a guide who can not only get you on the the fish you are looking for and also providing a wealth of fishing knowledge that will help you grow as an angler.

We had a half day trip scheduled on a day it was supposed to be raining and storming during our trip time. The captain offered to change our time to earlier in the day to adjust for this, so he is flexible about when he is able to go. He knew where the fish were and when good times for them to bite was. He also explained why they were hitting at times and gave us lots of good information that was interesting to learn, and that I can use in my own future fishing trips. He cast lines for us when we needed to, demonstrated how to catch different fish, and asked us what we were looking to catch. I can tell he has been doing this for a long while. We ended up catching about 8 fish total of varying types and sizes, on a day that was not the best for fishing to begin with. His personality was also uplifting, and he wanted to make sure we had a good time. I could not have asked for a better fishing charter. I will be chartering with him again whenever we manage to come back to Folly Island.

It was our first fishing charter and we had a great time! I wish I had taken some videos of my kid pulling in the huge red fish he caught. He also caught caught a flounder that was bigger than a dinner plate. I caught the Carolina inshore slam (didn’t know that term until Capt Hawkins told me), so yay me! Also my little red fish had 3 dots so it was fancier than the monster red fishes my kid caught.
We were well cared for, trip was well prepped. It was great day and a fun adventure for me & the kid. We will do it

We had a wonderful day with Brian on the Folly River and tributaries. We caught lots of reds sheepshead’s and a few trout.  We also learned so many fishing tips from Brian. He has fished these waters for decades and knows what he is doing. He also has a very warm and patient manner that made us all feel comfortable.  Thanks Brian.

Never fished east coast and so this is first time for me and my kid.  Captain Hawkins was super knowledgeable and will teach you the proper way to catch, fight and handle the fish. 
We started the day early on Captain’s recommendation and that was a blessing because SC is nice and toasty.  Ice cold water were provided and the captain will help you do almost everything except fighting the fish.
I will definitely revisit Captain Hawkins again when I am back in Folly Beach.
