We specialize in inshore and offshore fishing and offer a variety of different types of trips. We also even do customized trips if requested.

Captain Parker has been guiding for 2 years now out of Edisto Beach. Parker has fished these waters his whole life, and has took after his dad who used to professionally fish with all the big names such as Hank Parker and Matt Arey. Parker knows these waters like the back of his hand and will never disappoint in a trip.

Inshore Trips we will be fishing for Reddrum, Speckled Trout, Flounder, Blackdrum, Ladyfish, and Sheepshead. All rods and lures are included in these trips.
Offshore Trips we will be fishing for bottom fish such as black sea bass, redsnapper, grouper, gag grouper, vermilion snapper and sheepshead. We will be trolling for kingfish, wahoo, amberjacks, mahi mahi, skipjack tuna, blackfin tuna, bonita, and barracudas. Rods and lures are also included in these trips.

What will you need to bring? Waters will be on the boat at all times with no extra fee. Alcohol is allowed on the boat but must be brought by the customers. Snacks are always a good thing to bring with you on the boat and will also need to be purchased by the customers. Sunscreen is not provided but recommended.

USCG life jackets are required by captain to have on the vessel. Kids 12 and under are required by USCG to wear life jackets at all times. Customers can bring their own life jackets for their children if wanted.

    Great trip!

    4HR Inshore Fishing AM on October 27, 2025

    Great trip with my family! I never thought I would catch a fish almost as big as me! Captain Parker was very knowledgeable about all things fishing he taught us so much about fishing and all the different species we were going to catch. I would definitely recommend Palm state fishing to all ages even if you already know everything there is to know about fishing Captain Parker makes it a great time!
