    WHAT A DAY!!!

    4 Hour trip on November 2, 2026 • 2 adults

    I don’t know where to even start! We had the best day and maybe caught close to 2 dozen fish and I promise you that is not a fish tale! Patrick was waiting for us when got there. He gave a quick overview of the day, showed us where the safety equipment was kept and what his expectations were for the day. He asked us about our experience with fishing which was mostly deep sea and some pond fishing and then we started out on our adventure. Patrick was incredibly knowledgeable about the area and the fish. He certainly is a very experienced Captain! He is also a fantastic conversationalist! We saw dolphins playing and trying to eat, we caught a flounder, a few speckled trout and so many redfish! Despite the day being overcast and a little windy it truly was one of the most enjoyable things we did while on our vacation here in Hilton Head! We 100% would recommend Boogie Man Fishing Charters and we really look forward to coming back next year and spending time with Patrick and the fish!!

    Beautiful day on the water

    4 Hour trip on November 6, 2026 • 3 adults

    Went on my 5th trip with captain Patrick yesterday and it didn’t disappoint! He has never failed to put us on the fish, he does whatever it takes to get fish on the boat. Yesterday he put us on a spot with wide open Speckled trout and finished out the day with quite a few nice Reds. Thanks Pat! We’ll be back.

    Captain Patrick was Great

    3 Hour trip on September 19, 2026 • 3 adults

    The experience from being to end went wonderfully. Our captin was knowledgeable and made us feel welcomed and comfortable the whole time. He knew the best places to take us for the best chance to catch fish, and we did. Took my son for his 15th birthday and he had a ball. Great for a family outing.

    Great trip!

    3 Hour Afternoon Trip on July 8, 2026 • 1 adult

    Captain Patrick knows his stuff! He put me on fish the entire time. I caught the biggest Reds I have ever seen. The only downside of this trip. We didn’t have another three hours! I would definitely go out with him again and certainly recommend others to do the same. Thanks again, Patrick!

    Boogie Man is the best around!

    5 Hour Trip on June 24, 2026 • 3 adults

    Capt Patrick is the real deal. Personal, professional, and creates a great overall experience from the dock, catching fish on the water to filling up your cooler with filets at the end. Caught red fish, speckled trout, flounder, and jacks! Made great memories with family, will def be back.

    Great trip!

    4 Hour trip on June 10, 2026 • 4 adults • 2 children

    Went out with a friend and our 2 boys, ages 11 & 13. Capt. Patrick put us right on a nice spottail and continued to catch spots, flounder, and trout throughout the day. He was great with the boys, kept them engaged and taught them a few things. Definitely would recommend Captain Patrick and Boogie Man

    My wife and I booked a trip on our honeymoon. We had a great time. The boat was comfortable. The weather was great. The gear was top-notch. We caught some nice redfish and sea trout. Captain Patrick is good company and really knows his stuff.

    Inshore: Captain Patrick Kelly **hidden content**) reports that in November fish will only continue to ramp up their feeding, storing up reserves since they are about to lose their bait supply. They know that most shrimp and baitfish will eventually leave and crabs will go into hibernation. Redfish should bite better and better as they start to group up a bit more, and mud minnows, finger mullet, cut mullet, and shrimp will all be good bait choices. The trout bite will accelerate this month as temperatures drop and fish will be caught around the mouths of creeks and current rips in moving water. Trout fishing turned on in late October before temperatures rebounded, but early in November the bite should come back around. Shrimp under a popping cork are usually hard to beat, but as shrimp become harder to find a variety of artificials will work for trout. Flounder will be caught on mud minnows and finger mullet until water temperatures drop into the lower 60s, and black drum will also feed up more and more this month on shrimp and crabs.

    Inshore: Captain Patrick Kelly reports that in October fish will eat more and more, storing up reserves since they will eventually lose much of their bait supply as most shrimp and baitfish leave and crabs go into hibernation. Redfish should bite better and better on low and moving tides, and on very high tides they will continue to tail throughout October. Mud minnows, finger mullet, cut mullet, and shrimp are all good bait choices. Trout will be caught around the mouths of creeks in moving water, and shrimp under a popping cork should be hard to beat. Artificial lures like DOA shrimp can also be very effective. Flounder fishing should be good around structure on mud minnows and finger mullet, and there should also be some tripletail around for part of October. Black drum and sheepshead will also feed up more and more this month on shrimp and crabs around structure like fallen trees, and the bull red drum will eventually show up in area inlets and off the beaches.
