(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.

Capt Jesse is the top " Redneck" for redfish 🎣
3/4 Day Trip (6 hours) on May 7, 20262 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

Jesse was great! Went out for a short morning trip and caught a few redfish and trout. We were in his bay boat and it was very comfortable and roomy. Equipment was very good. I will be using Fishhound again!

good day on the water
Half Day Trip (4 hours) on July 23, 20262 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.
