 Oyster Row Lane, Edisto Beach, SC 29438, United States

We specialize in inshore and offshore fishing and offer a variety of different types of trips. We also even do customized trips if requested.

Captain Parker has been guiding for 2 years now out of Edisto Beach. Parker has fished these waters his whole life, and has took after his dad who used to professionally fish with all the big names such as Hank Parker and Matt Arey. Parker knows these waters like the back of his hand and will never disappoint in a trip.

Inshore Trips we will be fishing for Reddrum, Speckled Trout, Flounder, Blackdrum, Ladyfish, and Sheepshead. All rods and lures are included in these trips.
Offshore Trips we will be fishing for bottom fish such as black sea bass, redsnapper, grouper, gag grouper, vermilion snapper and sheepshead. We will be trolling for kingfish, wahoo, amberjacks, mahi mahi, skipjack tuna, blackfin tuna, bonita, and barracudas. Rods and lures are also included in these trips.

What will you need to bring? Waters will be on the boat at all times with no extra fee. Alcohol is allowed on the boat but must be brought by the customers. Snacks are always a good thing to bring with you on the boat and will also need to be purchased by the customers. Sunscreen is not provided but recommended.

USCG life jackets are required by captain to have on the vessel. Kids 12 and under are required by USCG to wear life jackets at all times. Customers can bring their own life jackets for their children if wanted.

*if any rods/reels are broken an extra $150 is added onto the trip charge due to expenses*

4 Hour Trip AM on July 21, 2025

Parker was a great captain! He was determined for everyone on his ship to catch fish. Our group, as a whole, was generally inexperienced at fishing and we all caught fish. Parker made an extra effort to help my 12-year-old son to get something on his line, and actually bring it in. I would highly recommend going through Parker and Palm State Fishing to everyone! As someone that likes to travel to different beaches, I would consider going back to Edisto just so we could go fishing with Parker again, it was a great experience!

Absolutely phenomenal experience with Captain Parker! From the moment we set off, it was clear we were in expert hands. He was incredibly knowledgeable and informative, sharing fascinating insights about the area, the species we were targeting, and the best techniques to use. His passion for fishing and the outdoors really shined through and made the whole trip even more enjoyable. We caught an impressive variety of fish—trout, rays, redfish, and even sharks! The action was nonstop, and Captain Parker kept everything running smoothly and safely. It was my brother’s first time saltwater fishing and a highlight of his vacation—an unforgettable experience we’ll be talking about for years to come. If you’re looking for an exciting, well-guided fishing trip, you won’t find anyone better than Captain Parker!

4 Hr PM Trip on September 17, 2024

We started out with a downer — some inexperienced folks in a pontoon boat crashed into our boat, and we had to wait more than an hour for the DNR cops to come take a report. Capt. Parker offered to take us out another day, and promised we would get our full fishing time. We stuck it out and were glad we did. Capt. Parker caught some bait and we hit our first spot. We had immediate success with redfish. When the fishing slowed, we hit another spot, and pulled in fish for another two hours — redfish mostly, but black drum, flounder, croakers, and even a skate. We finished up by trying a new spot where the “big boys” were. Alas, no luck there. Great trip. Parker and Zach were a lot of fun, and taught us some great techniques. This is NOT drop your bait over the side and wait fishing, although I’m sure they would be happy to hook the fish and hand you the pole. It was as challenging and rewarding as you wanted to make it. Highly recommended!.

Best Father/Son Fishing Experience Yet

3 Hr PM Trip on July 30, 2024

Captain Parker was amazing today! Our son year old son and I have been on six chartered fishing experiences in S. Carolina, and our son said to Captain Parker “this was our best trip yet!”. This was before the trip was even done. Parker is extremely knowledgeable about fishing and the unique spots to catch reds. We caught about twenty reds and hooked a few biggies that we barely missed bringing in the boat. We loved it so much we are going to book our next trip with Parker this fall asap! He’s great with kids and experienced adult anglers! Highly recommend!

Parker provided a great day of inshore fishing in the creeks of Edisto! He caught a ton of bait fish to get us ready for the day. The morning started off slow, but he moved us around to different areas until we started catching some big reds! He was very patient with us and provided some helpful tips! This guy knows his fishing and is very passionate about his work! Highly suggest booking with Parker!
