Fish Retriever Charters (Capt.Whit)
+43Come out and experience some of the world class fishing Charleston has to offer! My 19 and a 1/2 foot Sea Pro bay boat comfortably fishes four people while also still getting i to all the shallow places redfish like to live.
Redfish are what we specialize in however we strive to customize each trip to what our customers wish to do. In addition to redfish, we offer chances to catch seatrout, flounder, sharks (when requested) and much more!
Whether you are a seasoned angler or it is your first time picking up the rod. The captain is here to assist you and cater the trip to your level of experience. First time anglers will get lessons on casting, tips on fighting fish and encouragement along the way. However we offer everything from fishing popping corks and bottom rigs to full artificial trips with light tackle for the more experienced anglers!
All bait, tackle, and saltwater licences are provided. There will also be some amenities like, water, sunscreen and bug spray on board.
Please feel free to bring a bag for your belongings, however, please note that it may get wet and we do not recomend paper bags.
I am happy to fillet any fish you choose to keep free of charge. If you would like to keep fish. Keep in mind, our number one goal is conservation, while we are happy to send you home with a few fish, we practice conservative limits to ensure we can continue having successful days in the future.
Please note, prior to your trip will be required to sign a liability waver.

Absolutely amazing fishing trip
Evening 3 hour Bull Red/ Shark Trip on July 24, 2025
We went out for a short 3 hour shark/bull redfish trip on July 24, 2025. Captain Witt got us a very nice fine tooth shark when we first got out, and as the sun started to set we moved spots and he got us a trophy bull redfish, we also lost another at the boat. He was very informative, and was constantly setting up lines and making sure we were having fun. All fish on the trip were successfully released without injury. I would recommend Captain Witt to anyone coming down to South Carolina. We were very impressed.

Great way to start our weekend trip!
Morning 3 Hour Shark/Bull Red Trip on July 12, 2025
Whit was awesome, kept in touch with me weeks in advance and made sure to update me on what the fishing had been looking like leading up to our trip. We ended up catching an oyster toad fish on accident along with a pretty sizable shark later on in the trip!

Inshore Trip 10/18
Full Day Trip – Inshore on October 18, 2024
Great trip with Capt. Whit for inshore fishing. We got on fish shortly after launching and stayed busy the entire day. Whit was extremely professional, knowledgeable, and we really enjoyed the trip. We caught shark, bluefish, red drum, and flounder throughout the day, and caught multiple fish at every location. Highly recommend using Capt. Whit for your trip and we are planning to book another trip next time family comes to visit.

Had a great time on the shark/bull red trip
Morning 3 Hour Shark/Bull Red Trip on April 27, 2025
Did the shark/bull red trip with Captain Whit. Super cool guy, made the experience even better. Price was really affordable compared to other charters. Me and my friend landed 2 sharks each. Would totally recommend to anybody looking to fight some big fish for a good price.

Full day with Capt Whit
on April 16, 2025
Whit was awesome to fish with. He went above and beyond to put me on fish and I caught lots of big bull reds sight fishing with artificial lures. The smaller size of his boat was able to get us in some very shallow water to find the fish cruising at low tide.

The Angler's Choice Award is given to listings that consistently deliver a high-quality service and earn great reviews from customers.
I have been fishing since before I could walk, and it is second nature to me now. I have fished tournaments all around the country picking up knew knowledge at every fishery to bring home with me. I am on the water 3-5 days a week. I truly love having the opportunity to share my passion with others. Being able to share my experience with others and hopefully teach people to be better anglers or instill a new hobby just entisifys my passion for the sport! My goal for every trip is not only to be successful and have a fun time on the water but send the anglers home with something, whether that be a new knowledge set for experienced anglers or a new passion for beginners! Rather than doing the same thing every trip, I make sure we go at the best time of day to fish and that the style of fishing we do will be the most enjoyable to that specific customer. My favorite fishing style is sight fishing for redfish from my poling platform in super shallow creeks during low tide. My other passions include promoting wildlife conservation by teaching our local community and assisting local biologists as well as teaching fishing to children.
