Let’s make some unforgettable memories on the water!
I’m Capt. Austin Daniel, and I have been guiding on the waters of Charleston, SC for over 15 years now. Gillznthrillz is a father-and-son run business. Between myself, and my father (Hoss), we have over 60 years of combined experience fishing these waters, and love nothing more than putting clients on fish.

From kids, to seasoned fisherman you’re welcome aboard. We can accommodate bachelor trips, corporate outings, or an intimate sunset cruise.

Everything you need for a day on the water is included in the price of the charter, such as rods, reels, tackle, live bait, ice water, and licenses

Other drinks, snacks, and even lunch is available upon request!

We fish inshore for Reds, Trout, Flounder, Black Drum, Sheepshead, Spanish Mackerel, and many more species.

Nearshore you can expect to see your normal bottom suspects like Grouper, Black Seabass, Vermillion Snapper, Triggerfish, and assorted Porgies and Grunts. Pelagic species would include Cobia, King Mackerel, Amberjack, Mahi, African Pompano, and Bonito.

Nearshore trips are completely subject to weather. I want all parties to have as much fun as they can, and nobody’s having fun if they’re sea sick!

Shark trips are a fun way to get an introduction to what our waters have to offer! We can target sharks anywhere from three feet to thirteen feet. Just make sure to limber up and get ready for the pain!

Finally our Bull Red trips are one of my personal favorites! We target massive Red Drum in the Charleston Harbor. These fish can range anywhere from 15-50 pounds, and reach ages of over 50 years. We love getting to see these giants, but take the utmost care in handling them. Catch, tag, photo, and release.
At Gillznthrillz conservation is our first priority. We would like to see this fishery continue to thrive for generations to come. We are happy to clean some fish for dinner, but we do not fill freezers on inshore trips. Nearshore- Kill em all!
