    Low country in shore for Redfish and Spotted Sea Trout

    Half Day Trip – Multi Species - 9:00 AM on April 9, 2026 • 4 adults

    Cpt. Tom delivered! I asked him if he could put us on fish so we could have lots of action, and find a few we could have for dinner and he did just that! Was ready with the boat in the water when we arrived, and had everything we needed for a great time fishing. I estimate we caught over 30 fish, even with the cold and windy conditions! He knows his stuff and it was great to spend a day on the water with him. Highly recommend him for your trip! Classy guy that Cpt. Tom.

    Half Day trip with Captain Tom

    Half Day Trip – Multi Species - 7:00 AM on September 6, 2025

    My friends and I had an incredible time fishing with Captain Tom in Charleston. It was one of the best fishing trips I've ever been on. Captain Tom was knowledgeable about all the local spots and knew exactly where the fish were biting. He was also super friendly, and the boat was comfortable and clean, with all the gear we needed. He made everyone feel at ease, even my friend who had never fished before. I can't recommend his charter enough—we'll definitely be back for another trip!

    Amazing Experience!

    Half Day Trip – Redfish/Trout - 7:30 AM on September 26, 2025 • 3 adults

    We had an absolute blast fishing with Captain Tom! We caught tons of fish and tons of varieties of fish. Landed several super nice red fish and caught enough trout to feed everyone for dinner! Probably caught 50 fish or more between the 3 of us- could not ask for a better trip!

    The water temperature has been increasing almost every day and the Redfish have been switching to their summertime patterns. This time of year is a great year to target Redfish and Seatrout, especially at low tide. Baitfish have started to enter the creeks and the bite is coming alive!
