Great morning out in the harbor
Shark and Bull Redfish - 9:00 AM on May 23, 20266 adults
We went shark fishing and we caught sharks, captain was knowledgable, easy going, and determined to make sure we didn’t go home empty handed. We all caught at least one shark or other fish (6 people in the boat). Really pleasant time and we got to see Charleston harbor and got lucky seeing some dolphins

Tough conditions with huge rewards
Half Day Trip - Inshore (PM) on April 26, 20173 adults
Let me first say, Captain Lindsay is not just a lady angler, but quite in fact, the "Reel" deal! We went fishing after a few days of storms which had rainfall to 4" and even 5 " in local places. The water was murkey and the tide was crazy. We were informed that the conditions were set for a tough day. The first place we pulled up to, I caught a short Red on my second cast. By the way, Captain Lindsay will tell you just where to cast in every spot you travel to, hence a fish on the second cast. The water was getting dirtier and dirtier after catching a few smaller Trout and Reds, so we opted to head a bit off of the shore a few miles to get in better water. Immediately we had 2 fish on at once and Captain Lindsay had her hands full keeping us baited up and making sure we stayed on the fish. After that the surf grew, it was too much to fish comfortably. All of the boats that were anywhere within the mile were starting to head back inland because of the surf. Captain Lindsay's new Sea Fox was more than a match for the given conditions. SUPER SWEET RIG! Once we got back to decent water, Captain Lindsay out on on yet another tactic/way to catch these fish to catch. NOTE: Captain Lindsay put us on many ways and techniques to catch these fish in all the tough conditions we had opted for us today. Once we pulled up to the last stop of the day, Captain Lindsay was a generous school of Reds feeding in the shallows beyond us. She then gently lowered her Minn Kota and trolled towards them slowly and once we were there....boyyyyy hold on! If it wasn't for the power poles that has us fastly anchored, I feel they would have been pulling us left and right like it was silly! All and all, Captain Lindsay put us on fish no matter where, no matter the tide/current situation even with dingy water. When this happens in these tough conditions, you know you have a world class guide. I have been on many charters and I can promise this is one that I will be back to, FOR SURE!
