Conner was Great!

Half Day Trip – Inshore (AM) on June 16, 2025 • 3 adults

Conner did a fantastic job!. Ready when we arrived, boat and equipment very clean and in great shape. His attention to detail was very much appreciated. He knows where to fish and what fish are in the areas. We even caught a redfish that Conner even took a picture of so I know it was a good one! 
If you want a captain that knows the area, knows fishing, and knows what life is about on the water, this is your guy. If possible, I will use him often in the future!

Captain Connor is a great guide! Professional, personable, informative, and experienced. He put us on fish, showed my wife and I a wonderful time, and even recommended some excellent restaurants to try before we left town. Beautiful marsh area with mullet, redfish, and dolphins as a viewing bonus. We'd definitely use Tidal Waters again in the future and recommend them to others looking to fish the inner banks of the Folly Beach, South Carolina area.

Great inshore trip

Half Day Trip – Inshore (AM) on April 2, 2023 • 2 adults

Conner’s knowledge of the area and of the systems we fish was evident immediately. We fished the small streams and channels of the salt marsh in Conners boat.  We were seeing redfish within 10 minutes of getting in the boat and his boat and navigating skills were impeccable.  He poled his way through the system allowing us to cast to redfish without spooking them and he knew exactly where the fish would be staging.  We landed several redfish due to his navigating skills.  No other boat would be able to fish these waters.  It is a memorable experience to battle a big redfish in inches of water.

As a fellow fishing guide from Wisconsin, I would highly recommend Conner for this unusual type of fishing .  Best of all, he made us feel like we were lifelong fishing buddies within minutes of meeting him. We had several great conversations with Conner during our trip.  Thanks Conner for a great experience.

6 hours trip

3/4 Day Trip – Fly or Spin on May 28, 2023 • 2 adults

I did really good experience. The guide knows very well the area and based of your skills he is going to find the adequate spot.
Even if it was a tough day, day after a storm, muddy waters we were able the spot fish.
The boat is just perfect for job and the he has on his boat such high quality equipments (spinning and fly), I brought my rods but i ended up using his flyrods because they was the recon series, fantastic rods.
We went to technical spot small channel and in was a great experiences.
Overhall, truly recommended! You can’t go wrong with this guide!
