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!

It's Fall and the Redfish aren't quite abundant! We're catching large quantities of slot reds between 15-23 inches along with a bunch of over slot bull reds up to 42 inches long! Outgoing and incoming tides with the best bite 3hrs before to after "low tide"!

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!
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!
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!

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!
