If you're here to make the most of fishing in Beaufort, look no further than Fishhound Guide Services. With Captain Jesse at the helm, you'll have a knowledgeable and experienced guide.

Species like Black Drum, Flounder, Speckled Trout, Tarpon, Redfish, Cobia, and more could be biting if you come at the right time of year. For these species, you're likely to use a variety of different techniques using light tackle. Capt. Jesse also offers fly fishing, knowing true fly fishermen like to use their own equipment, you are more than welcome to bring your own gear. Plus, you can have your catch cleaned.

Your day begins aboard an 18' Beavertail flats boat that can carry up to 3 passengers or a 22' Blazer bay that can carry up to 6 passengers. (Available upon request) They both come with everything you need for a productive day on the water. Rods, reels, and tackle are provided, along with lures. Live bait, fresh dead-cut bait, and a variety of soft plastic artificials are also available.

Keep in mind that some fish may have harvest limits or closed seasons. Your captain will help you follow regulations while you fish.

Don't forget to bring sunscreen (non-spray), and sunglasses. Bottled water will be available for you. Alcohol is allowed in moderation, so long as you avoid hard liquor as well as glass bottles.

If you would like to take more than three people fishing Capt. Jesse has a larger bay boat available that can carry up to 6 anglers at an additional cost.

How often would you rather be fishing? Go on and turn that daydream into a reality, with Fishhound Guide Service.

    Capt Jesse is the top " Redneck" for redfish 🎣

    3/4 Day Trip (6 hours) on May 7, 2026 • 2 adults

    The Capt postponed our trip by one day due to weather, but he proved that he knew the best conditions for us to put fish on the boat. His knowledge of the area is unmatched! My nephew and I caught dozens of reds ( my 1st & my nephew 1st). He's not only kind & courteous, he will teach u proper techniques and fill ur head with the wealth of knowledge he has of the targeted species and areas we fished. His boat and gear are top of the line and no other charter or captain can touch his level of excellence. If u are looking to book a charter, look no further than the Fishound! You will not disappointed! I've taken half a dozen charters near Hilton Head and he smoked them ALL! Epic day of fishing in every way! Thanks Cap!! See u next time

    good day on the water

    Half Day Trip (4 hours) on July 23, 2026 • 2 adults

    Captain Jesse did a nice job putting us on fish. Our granddaughter had fun catching red drum, lots of smaller fish, and a couple of big ones. If you can, book a trip with Captain Jesse. The biggest spot was an impressive 29 inches.

    Cold as h$$$ but caught fish

    Half Day Trip (4 hours) - 11:00 AM on February 7, 2026 • 2 adults

    We fished in high 30’s to 40’s , and Jesse worked hard to find us fish and he did! We located a pod of about 100/150 redfish. We caught some very nice redfish out of the pod. Caught some nice dinner fish and had some grilled fresh redfish. Jesse was personable and talkative. Nice man!
