Captain
Matthew Callaghan

Member since October 2023 Mount Pleasant, United States
Background
I grew up fishing ponds and lakes in Illinois, I moved to Charleston area 2013, and have been hooked on salt water fishing ever since!! Love getting customers on their first red drum or other species. We will be fishing on my 24 foot Bulls Bay with a 250 Suzuki.
Techniques
Typically I use live bait, either bottom fishing or popping corks.
