    Mahi Madness

    10 Hour Trip – Offshore on May 6, 2023

    Captain Louie and his first mate Brendon knocked this trip out of the park!! Three of my friends from out of town wanted to Charleston and try their luck at offshore fishing so I booked with captain Louie based off a friends reference. we showed up a little early and these guys were ready to go! All we had to do was jump on the boat and we were off. We were fortunate to have calm seas and a beautiful sunrise to start off the day. Kind of a long ride to get to our final destination but we had lines in the water pulling baits by the time the sun was fully up. Capt pulled up to a large weed line and the mate didn't waste any time getting lines out. Before he dropped back the third bait we had a fish on!!! it was nonstop mahi madness from then on with a bonus blue marlin to boot!!! My friends didn't have much experience and that probably why we didn't land the marlin (ZACH!!) but the crew kept us in line and tried to teach us as much as they could. As fast as we could reel them in the mate was baiting lures and dropping them back out. I couldn't ask for more out of a charter and looking forward to doing it again this year. See yall soon

    A Great Day Offshore

    10 Hour Trip – Offshore on May 3, 2023

    If you’re looking for an extremely experienced captain who always keeps your safety top of mind, do yourself a favor and book a trip with Captain Louie and crew. Not only will you catch fish, you will also enjoy the camaraderie with the captain and crew. Even if you’re inexperienced, Captain Louie and crew will take the time to teach you correct technique when you’re on the rod, giving you your best shot at getting your catch boat side. Book a trip, and go have some fun!

    Best Offshore Fishing Trip Ever — Captain Louis Put Us on the Fish!

    6 Hour Trip on August 14, 2026

    I can’t say enough great things about Captain Louis McMichael and this incredible offshore fishing trip! My two sons and I have been on plenty of fishing trips before, but this was hands-down, without a doubt, THE BEST FISHING TRIP WE’VE EVER BEEN ON! Captain Louis is the complete package, an outstanding fisherman, an incredible guide, a first-class host, and just an all-around awesome Southern gentleman. He makes you feel like you’re fishing with an old friend while delivering a professional, exciting, and unforgettable offshore experience. His knowledge of the water and ability to find the fish are second to none. Captain Louis doesn’t just take you fishing, HE PUTS YOU ON THE FISH! From the moment we dropped our lines, the action was NONSTOP! There was hardly a moment during the entire trip when we didn’t have a fish hooked up. The majority of the time, all three of us had fish on at once! It was constant bites, bent rods, screaming drags, and fish coming over the side of the boat. We caught porgy, triggerfish, several species of snapper, cobia, and even hooked up on a WAHOO! The variety and number of fish we caught was unbelievable. Just when we thought the trip couldn’t get any better, Captain Louis proved us wrong! His first mate, Dillion, was an absolute machine! He worked his butt off from start to finish, constantly running from one end of the boat to the other. He kept us baited, helped land and boat our fish, and made sure we spent our time FISHING instead of waiting. With all three of us hooked up at the same time over and over again, Dillion definitely had his hands full, but he never slowed down! Then came the moment that took this trip to a whole different level... Toward the end of the day, my son said he wanted to catch a shark. Well, apparently Captain Louis “The Fish Whisperer,” made it happen! Captain Louis put my son on an absolutely massive 7½-foot, approximately 200+-pound sandbar shark! WHAT A FIGHT! Watching my son battle that shark was something I will never forget. That alone would have made the trip incredible, but after everything else we had already caught, it was the perfect ending to an unbelievable day on the water. Beyond the incredible fishing, Captain Louis is a true professional. His communication leading up to our trip was outstanding. He kept us informed about the weather and offshore conditions right up until the day of our trip. His boat was great, the ride was excellent, and it was obvious from the beginning that safety and taking care of his customers are his top priorities. But here’s the bottom line: CAPTAIN LOUIS KNOWS WHERE THE FISH ARE—AND HE KNOWS HOW TO PUT YOU ON THEM! If you’re looking for one of those fishing trips where you spend half the day waiting for something to bite, THIS IS NOT THAT TRIP! You better come ready to fish, because when Captain Louis puts you on the spot, IT’S GAME ON! My Ratings: • Communication: 10/10 • Boat & Ride: 10/10 • Safety: 10/10 • Customer Service: 10/10 • First Mate: 10/10 • Catching Fish: 10/10 • Overall Experience: 10/10+++++++++++ This wasn’t just a fishing trip for me and my two sons. These are memories we’ll be talking about for the rest of our lives. The nonstop action, all three of us fighting fish at the same time, the wahoo hookup, and watching my son battle a 200-pound shark; it simply doesn’t get much better than that! If you’re thinking about booking an offshore fishing trip, BOOK WITH CAPTAIN LOUIS McMICHAEL. Bring plenty of energy. And most importantly… YOU BETTER BE READY TO FISH, BECAUSE CAPTAIN LOUIS WILL PUT YOU ON THE FISH!!! BEST. FISHING. TRIP. EVER. And one thing is for certain; we WILL be scheduling another trip with Captain Louis!

    Perfect Experience!

    6 Hour Trip on June 26, 2026 • 2 adults

    We did the half day-early morning nearshore trip with my son and a friend. The weather was perfect with 1'-2' waves and a 4 mph southwest wind. Captain Louie and his first mate Dillon were awesome. The captain had us in ideal locations to catch Cobia, King Mackerel, Gag Grouper. We came home with 4 Cobia, 2 Kings and 1 Gag. That was after a couple of "crazy big" Bull Sharks kept stealing our catches. The Captain took time to answer all my super inquisitive 16 year olds questions, that made the experience even more rewarding than just catching lots of fish. You will not be disappointed!!

    Amazing trip

    6 Hour Trip on September 27, 2026

    Captain Louis and his mate were amazing. We were in Charleston for a bachelor party and they truly made the weekend. We would have been happy if we didn’t catch any fish but had a ton of action catching all kinds of fish including red snapper, barracuda, and trigger fish. We wish we had done the full day trip instead of the half day. Cannot recommend this enough and will be back the next time we are in Charleston.

    This fishing trip was the best!!!

    6 Hour Trip on May 9, 2026 • 5 adults • 1 child

    We have been on several fishing charters and this one was by far the best. Captian Louis was amazing. I had my kids with me and he cut up with them and made us all feel safe and welcome on his boat. He had everything needed to make our trip perfect! His first mate was also on top of things. Our hooks always had bait on them and we were catching fish back to back. They handled it all with ease and then cleaned and bagged our fish for us!! I would HIGHLY RECOMMEND you booking with Captain Louis and we will be booking again soon.

Climb aboard a 32' Contender with Captain Louie out of Tolers Cove Marina, Charleston, and chase mahi-mahi, wahoo, tuna, grouper, snapper, - whatever is biting. This is fishing the way it's meant to be done; trolling hard and dropping deep. With 20+ years on these waters, he knows when to run, where to drop, and how to keep the rods bent. He's got a few tricks he won't teach at the dock - only way to learn is to come fishing. Catch More Than Fish - Catch Memories.
