Michael Yount

Member since March 2016 Folly Beach, United States

Background: I was born and raised in the Lowcountry region of South Carolina and I've spent my entire life learning about the estuaries, ocean, and saltwater ecosystems. I love fishing to the most extreme and I'm all about the preservation of the saltwater wildlife! Sea Breeze Charters follows the guidelines of the South Carolina Department of Natural Resources, the South Eastern Fishery Council and I'm a member of the IGFA (International Game Fish Association). I hope to meet you soon and exceed your expectations!
Techniques: Although I love all types of fishing, my favorite Techniques are trolling for big game and sight casting, whether it be sight casting at tailing Redfish on the flats or casting at big game in the gulf stream! The rush is indescribable!

Nearshore Reefs

Jun 3, 2025 Folly Beach

Nearshore Reefs are fantastic right now! We're catching tons of Spade Fish and Cobia right now! It's amazing how hard the Spades fight! Pound for pound, one of the hardest fighting fish out there!

Nearshore reefs!

Mar 7, 2025 Folly Beach

As the water starts to heat up so do the nearshore reefs! Over the next few weeks we're going to see a lot of action on the nearshore on reefs. During this period, we like to use artificial lures to sight cast at Spanish Mackeral, Bluefish, and False Albacore Tuna on the surface. We also use artificial jigs to fish lower in the water column for Bull Reds, Black Drum, Weakfish, Sheepshead, Black Seabass etc. Book now while there's still time slots available!

Spadefish and Shark feeding frenzy!

Jun 10, 2024 Folly Beach

The nearshore reefs are on fire right now. The Spadefish are hungry and pack a mean punch on light tackle! We caught over 30 spades today, along with a couple of other species! Pound for pound, they're one of the hardest fighting fish in the ocean! We also ran across an insane shark feeding frenzy! Looked like some National Geographic footage! It was pretty cool!

Nearshore Reefs False Albacore Tuna!

Mar 21, 2024 Folly Beach

We caught tons of Bonita, False Albacore Tuna, Bluefish, and Spanish Mackerel on the "Nearshore Reefs" today! The Albacore came in around noon and were absolutely everywhere! All of the fish were caught on artificial lures! Non-stop action the entire trip!

Redfish Bite

Mar 13, 2024 Folly Beach

The Redfish bite is outstanding right now! We caught a handful in the slot and quite a few bigger fish over the slot! The larger fish have been slamming the baits hard and bending some rods!

Redfish Bite!

Mar 4, 2024 Folly Beach

The Redfish bite is fantastic right now! Dillon caught these along with quite a few others on the outgoing tide today! Most were over the slot with a few tournament winners in there!

Captain Doug was the best! First of all, we booked through this site and it linked us to a charter in FL. We did not know until 12 hours before the trip when we received confirmation. We had to quickly cancel and scramble to find a new trip. It was supposed to be a surprise trip for our boys. Captain Doug had a trip available first thing in the morning. Thank Goodness! The weather was perfect. Captain Doug is funny! We caught fish. Redfish. Sharks. Croaker. Whiting. And other big fish. Note, BIG!... More

We weremt and taken fishig as planed. I texted several times as as never aprised it would not tbe the same captain in the listing. The captain seemed slightly un-prepared for the charter with minimal live bait for inshore fishing (a dozen mud minnows for three fishing on a 4 hour charter). There was plenty of bait on the Simrad screen but we never tred to get any. Excuses were given. On the brighter side he did put us on the fish at every location we moved to. My daughter grandson both caught... More

Hey Jose,
I’m glad you guys had a good time!
Your message and review left me concerned so I went back and looked at our previous messages. You booked a 3hr inshore trip because I was unable to accommodate an offshore trip because of a surgical procedure that I had on my back. I did let you know there would be another captain running the inshore charter. Captain Doug usually keeps plenty of live bait on board and always follows the trends with what the fish are hungry for. I was very surprised to hear that he only had a dozen live minnows on board. Out of curiosity and to make sure he stays prepared, do you recall what bait the fish preferred that day?
Give me a shout the next time you’re in town and we’ll get that Wahoo checked off your list!

Thanks
Captain Michael Yount

Wes started off by targeting some flounder and then went to the channels to some redfish fishing. The captain did not disappoint. We caught multiple large redfish and boy did they put up a good fight. The rods stay bent and any down time was spent recuperating from the last catch. We caught multiple 28” to 32” redfish thanks to the knowledgeable captain who knew exactly where to go. My boys have not stopped talking about this trip and I don’t see that changing anytime in the future. Thanks!... More

We had a great time and would definitely come back again. This was our first time doing a fishing guide/charter. The small fish kept stealing our bait on the smaller rigs but we hooked and landed a couple of sharks that put up a good fight. We also lost three bigger fish or sharks, not sure since we didn’t get them close enough to see before they cut the line. Captain Doug was excellent in moving when the bite was slow and had a great fun attitude.

We had a blast. Everyone caught a fish on our 2 hour trip. Red Fish (30 in, 29in, and 27.5 inches) No keepers, but had fun getting them to the boat. Also caught a Flounder (13 in ) along with some other small fish and saw a shark. We also saw some dolphins around the boat dock and on our way to our fishing spot. The captain was accommodating and met all our expectations.
