Marsh Rat Guide Service
+5The Bluffton/Hilton Head area offers an incredible opportunity to sight cast Redfish in shallow water on artificial and fly. Providing his clients with the experience of stalking fish in shallow water is what Capt. Wesley strives to deliver on every trip. Whether you’re an experienced angler or new to the sport, shallow water sight fishing the beautiful back waters of Bluffton/Hilton Head is sure to provide anybody an experience they’ll not soon forget.
Capt. Wesley provides everything you need for a successful day on the water. Fly/spinning rods, tackle/flies, and ice cold water with room for whatever beverages you may want to add to the cooler.
Capt. Wesley operates a 2022 Beavertail Mosquito that was built to pole in shallow water- the perfect boat to get you to fish that other boats can’t reach! The capacity of the boat is 2 people or 350 pounds.
This fishery is a special place for many reasons, one of those being the Redfish that we strive to catch every trip. To help increase the odds of these awesome fish being around for years to come, Marsh Rat Guide Service is catch and release only. Let’em go, let’em grow!
Let’s go fishing!
