2 Hour Trip – Inshore
This was my second time fishing with Thomas at Hilton Head Inshore, and I can't recommend him highly enough! We went out for a two-hour charter, and within the first 10 minutes, we were already reeling in redfish. In just two hours, I caught over a dozen redfish and sheepshead, and by the end of the trip, I was on a total fish high! Thomas is incredibly knowledgeable, patient, and makes the experience fun for everyone. If you’re looking for a great fishing experience in Hilton Head, Thomas is the guy to book!

6 Hour Trip – Inshore/Nearshore
This is our third year in a row with Captain Thomas and our family of 4. He knows where the fish are at and how to keep younger children engaged based on their attention levels. Highly recommend!

4 Hour Trip (PM)– Inshore/Nearshore
We really enjoyed our 4 hour trip with Captain Thomas. He has a very nice setup, is very knowledgeable of the in shore and put us on fish all day. I would highly recommend him for your next fishing trip. Best charter we have been on in Hilton Head and we have been coming down here for over 30 years.

4 Hour Trip (AM)– Inshore/Nearshore
We had an amazing day fishing with Thomas. We caught many fish today. There were four of us in our group and everybody had action. We caught four different species of shark and a couple of red fish. This fishing trip was a blast and we will most definitely look up Thomas again in the future.
