An evening on the water with Captain Kurt Jeter
2 Hour Beginner Inshore Fishing on August 7, 2025

Denise and I had a fantastic 2 hour fishing trip with Captain Kurt. As a fellow veteran, Kurt and I exchanged some military stories as he rode us out to one of his favorite locations. After hearing about all that he's been through, this man is a true testament to the fortitude of the human body and the will of the human mind to heal and persevere through even the worst things that life can throw at you. Kurt has an uplifting personality and just a super demeanor. I personally wasn't feeling my best just before it was time to start our fishing charter. However, we were celebrating Denise's 50th birthday and she loves to fish, so I sucked it up and got on the boat. Kurt put us on to fish within minutes of anchoring the boat. Denise wanted to catch a red fish and a black drum. Captain Kurt exceeded our expectations, we caught multiple local species including red fish, black drum, pinfish, croaker, whiting and sting rays. By the end of our trip, I was feeling good again. Denise was ecstatic that she got to catch both of the fish she set out to get. It was truly a great outing. Captain Kurt was not just a charter guide. He is truly a consummate professional and an all around great human being. We made a new friend in Hilton Head and it was like going fishing with my brother. We both can't recommend Captain Kurt enough and we are both looking forward to our next trip out on the water with him!
