Fresh salty air, warm sunshine, eye-level with the spartina marsh grass, and your fishing rod rigged and ready to cast. Mother Nature lures you out and invites you to immerse your soul in the beauty of the Lowcountry and leave the burdens of daily life onshore for a while.

Whether you are a beginner or an experienced angler, it is the picture-perfect way to experience our unique tidal waters.
Our mission is to give you the opportunity to share in these memorable experiences. So stop wishing. Let’s go fishing!!

Private guided inshore fishing experience from the advantage of a pedal drive kayak with Capt. Joe Cefus and first mate, Chevy.

Species like Redfish, Speckled Trout, Flounder, Bonnethead Shark, Blacktip Shark, Sheepshead, and more inhabit these waters, depending on conditions. During the trip, you might be spinning, popping, trolling, drifting, jigging, bottom fishing, or maybe something more specialized in this area. Capt. Joe Cefus offers fly fishing on grass flats at high tides.

Your trip begins aboard a 10’ Old Town Sportsman Kayak with a capacity for 1 passenger. There are two available.  They have all the essentials.
You’ll find rods, reels, and tackle waiting for you, along with lures. Live bait is on offer, but you should ask the captain whether you’ll be catching it yourself.

You need to purchase a local saltwater fishing license before the trip.

Don’t hesitate, book your trip now!

Sunset Fishing Trip on December 30, 20252 adults
Had an amazing time on this fishing charter. The captain and crew were knowledgeable, patient, and made sure everyone had a great experience. The boat was clean, the gear was solid, and we caught some flounder. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a fun, stress-free day on the water.

3 Hour Trip – Standard Tour on November 8, 20252 adults
The fishing was awesome, we began by hunting some redfish and I got an awesome bite to begin our trip. The tide was acting funky for a few days after the full moon so there weren’t heaps of redfish feeding, but where there were we got some action. Wether you’re an experienced fisherman or just a beginner, Joe is willing to help with a great attitude

Half day trip on September 25, 20241 adult
Joe and Chevy were great hosts. Steering the kayak was easy to learn and a great way to fish with a little bit of solitude. Joe was right there with help, tips, and bait when you needed and or wanted it. We had a good bite and caught redfish, bluefish and flounder on our trip. This was just a great experience and you could fish some areas that were not accessible by boat. What a great way to spend a morning!

My son had a great experience with Joe. The kayaks were decked out, safe and easy to use. Joe provided the poles and bait and drinks, too. My son said that Joe was very knowledgeable of the local fish and waters. Current was a bit strong the day they fished so that was a challenge.
