4 Reel Fishing Charters
Hartwell has a fish with your name on it, so let Captain Brian help you catch it! Having logged many hours on these tides, Captain Brian is prepared to put you on fish.
These waters are known for Hybrid Striped Bass, Striped Bass, and more – with any luck, you'll hook into a few! On these trips, it’s common to troll and bottom fish using light or heavy tackle.
Families who love fishing together will be glad to know that kids are welcome aboard! Children must wear life vests, so find out if the appropriate size is available on board. Snacks are permitted onboard — bring your favorites to ward off any mid-trip fatigue!
Your trip begins aboard a 18' Carolina Skiff center console with capacity for 2 passengers. It has all the essentials no fishing machine can run without. Capt. Brian will provide rods and reels for you, along with lures. Live bait is on offer, but it's good to ask about this so you know if you'll be catching it yourself.
You will need to purchase a local fishing license before the trip. This information is usually available online, or you can ask the captain. Some species might be protected or require a tag to keep them, so make sure you know what to expect.
You can't go wrong when you bring sunblock (non-spray), bottled water, and sunglasses. Alcohol is allowed in moderation, but try to avoid hard liquor as well as glass bottles.
Now,is time to hit the water with Captain Brian and 4 Reel Fishing Charters!

5 Hour Trip – Lake
Great fishing trip
Brian was very kind and responsible. He quickly helped us set up all the fishing gear and even baited the hooks with small minnows. He gave us clear instructions on how deep and how far to release the line to increase our chances of catching fish. Although the bait was limited, possibly because of the weather or other factors, Brian stayed very diligent and checked multiple spots to find fish. I highly recommend this trip to anyone and look forward to fishing with him again.

Booked this last minute as a birthday gift for my husband and we had a great time. We caught a variety as well as several fish, especially using the fun rod. Captain Brian was fun knowledgeable, patient and helpful. Looking forward to booking a girls trip next time.
