3 Hour Trip (PM) – Inshore on April 10, 20264 adults
Had awesome day with Thomas who grew up here & clearly knows his way round. Professional & safety conscious. Caught a variety of fish including sharks. Saw dolphin's. Ended up with my daughter catching a HUGE redfish (40lb). Also just the raw beauty of Hilton Head inlet is fantastic on a boat. Don’t delay book today!

Great trip!
8 Hour Trip – Inshore/Near on April 27, 20263 adults
My father, brother, and I went on an all day fishing trip. While the weather was less than ideal, Captain Thomas made it a great experience. We caught 3 varieties of shark and red fish. Thomas knew plenty of places where reds love to hide. Would highly recommend this to anyone looking for knowledge guide.
