So Good We Will Book Again!
4Hr Inshore Trip - 12:00 PM on June 15, 2026 • 5 adults

We booked a 4 hour inshore and targeted reds. All 4 of us had a blast! Everyone caught something and there was even a 13lb 33inch red landed! Would highly recommend! Very knowledgeable and a better cast than all of us! Extremely professional and personable also. Overall, an amazing trip and we are already planning both an inshore and ocean trip next year! Thank you Capt Parker and Palm State Fishing for an absolutely amazing experience!

Laidback and patient!
3Hr Inshore Trip on June 23, 2026 • 2 adults

My husband and I went out with Parker this morning - I have literally not picked up a rod and reel in 35+ years! My husband fishes, so he wasn’t an issue, but Parker was so patient with me and taught me how to fish! And he found the fish, too! We had four redfish in the line within the first 20 minutes! Super cool and laidback guy - we would 100% recommend him and will look him up again when we are back at Edisto Beach!

Such a great time!
3Hr Inshore Trip - 12:00 PM on September 25, 2026 • 4 adults • 1 child

Captain Will was great. We ended up catching a variety of fish including Gar, Black Drum, and even a stingray! The best part of the trip for me was as we were leaving, a small pod of dolphins trailed our boat and came so close we could almost touch them.

    The in shore trip didn’t have the waves of the ocean so no one got sea sick! You don’t waste any time traveling to your fishing spot almost immediately got pools in the water! Had a great time with my 2 kids, everyone caught fish!
