Absolutely phenomenal experience with Captain Parker! From the moment we set off, it was clear we were in expert hands. He was incredibly knowledgeable and informative, sharing fascinating insights about the area, the species we were targeting, and the best techniques to use. His passion for fishing and the outdoors really shined through and made the whole trip even more enjoyable.

We caught an impressive variety of fish—trout, rays, redfish, and even sharks! The action was nonstop, and Captain Parker kept everything running smoothly and safely. It was my brother’s first time saltwater fishing and a highlight of his vacation—an unforgettable experience we’ll be talking about for years to come. If you’re looking for an exciting, well-guided fishing trip, you won’t find anyone better than Captain Parker!

Parker provided a great day of inshore fishing in the creeks of Edisto! He caught a ton of bait fish to get us ready for the day. The morning started off slow, but he moved us around to different areas until we started catching some big reds! He was very patient with us and provided some helpful tips! This guy knows his fishing and is very passionate about his work! Highly suggest booking with Parker!

We started out with a downer — some inexperienced folks in a pontoon boat crashed into our boat, and we had to wait more than an hour for the DNR cops to come take a report. Capt. Parker offered to take us out another day, and promised we would get our full fishing time. We stuck it out and were glad we did.

Capt. Parker caught some bait and we hit our first spot. We had immediate success with redfish. When the fishing slowed, we hit another spot, and pulled in fish for another two hours — redfish mostly, but black drum, flounder, croakers, and even a skate.

We finished up by trying a new spot where the “big boys” were. Alas, no luck there.

Great trip. Parker and Zach were a lot of fun, and taught us some great techniques. This is NOT drop your bait over the side and wait fishing, although I’m sure they would be happy to hook the fish and hand you the pole. It was as challenging and rewarding as you wanted to make it.

Highly recommended!.

Captain Parker was amazing today! Our son year old son and I have been on six chartered fishing experiences in S. Carolina, and our son said to Captain Parker “this was our best trip yet!”. This was before the trip was even done. Parker is extremely knowledgeable about fishing and the unique spots to catch reds. We caught about twenty reds and hooked a few biggies that we barely missed bringing in the boat. We loved it so much we are going to book our next trip with Parker this fall asap! He’s great with kids and experienced adult anglers! Highly recommend!

Took family out fishing New Year’s week with Palm State Fishing guide service. 

Capt Parker & his first mate Zach were great, very polite & professional.  They ensured all members of our party had opportunities to catch fish, even went beyond the planned time limit to keep us on a hot spot to finish the day strong after a slow start. 

Good guys, will definitely use them again.
