2 Hour Trip – Inshore (PM)
Captain Kim Rocks!
This is the first time we’ve ever been to Hilton head South Carolina. Captain Kim was a gentleman from start to finish. He was very prepared, gave great fishing tips, and genuinely wanted us to catch fish and have a good time. My wife son, and I all caught fish and had a great time. My wife, who normally doesn’t go fishing with us much caught the biggest fish which was a 19 inch spot fish. Captain Kim fillet the fish for us immediately after we got off the boat and we enjoyed eating the fish she caught for lunch. I definitely recommend Captain Kim and would absolutely do it again. The best tip that I would recommend when you go fishing that Captain Kim gave us was when you get a bite to simply pull up on the rod straight up into the air and set the hook. I kept making the mistake of reeling and pulling at the same time which makes it harder for the fish to keep in their mouths and more than likely. I was probably pulling the bait right out of the fish‘s mouth instead of setting hook. So remember, simply pull up the rod and you will get more fish. Thank you, Captain Kim and thank you for making our vacation special. God bless you and your family. Ryan, Erika, and Anderson Brown Moseley, VA

2 Hour Trip – sesonal Inshore (AM)
Capt. Kim was great with beginners
Took my kids (who are new to fishing) out with Capt. Kim while here visiting family. He was very patient and took his time explaining why he chose the locations he did, the habits of the fish (and how they changed with the seasons), bait to use, and how this information can help catch the fish - and we did! My daughter caught a 30” red drum and my son caught a 25” black drum (along with other fish). It was the highlight of our week and we would love to go out with Capt Kim again!

Expert Guide, Great Experience
Captain Kim was incredibly knowledgeable and patient throughout our trip. He not only put us on fish the entire time but also took the time to explain his strategy behind each spot and technique, which made the experience even more enjoyable. He was especially great with my son, showing extra patience and guidance as he worked to land a big one. We had an amazing time and will definitely be booking with him again on our next visit!

4 Hour Trip – Inshore (PM)
Half day trip with Captain sk Kim
Captain Kim is a born fisherman. We genuinely feel sorry for red fish and sea bass when he is out there looking for them. Kate caught a red fish that was big enough to feed us both and it was delicious! You could tell that Captain Kim's entire purpose when he took us fishing was for us to catch fish...and we did! He cast for shrimp for us to use as bait for certain fish. He took us to places we didn't know even existed and then found fish for us to catch there. He is very friendly and congenial. It was our very first fishing charter and I fear we are spoiled for any other charter captain. Kate and Russ Keep

Hilton Head - Awesome Fishing Trip
We had a great time fishing inshore with Captain Kim. He put us on the fish all morning. My son caught a big Red at the very first spot and his fiancé also caught a nice Red. Captain Kim knows his stuff and we highly recommend him for your fishing trip.
