Member since May 2024 Charleston, United States
Background
Hello fellow anglers! I'm Capt. Brian and I have lived in Charleston my whole life. I began fishing as a child in the Ashley River. My "addiction" never cleared up and now I want to pass along the beauty and fun to as many anglers as I can. I started my charter business in 2023 after spending almost 10 years on the water as a deputy sheriff and member of the Marine Patrol division. I continue to serve in Law Enforcement and on my off days, you will find me on the water. I specialize in redfish and trout as well as other species inshore. If the weather permits, I run to the reefs and we will have a ball catching all sorts of "groceries". I look forward to helping you catch a fish of a lifetime and lots of great memories!
Techniques
We use only the best! Penn rod and reels are our go to for saltwater. We use live bait as well as artificial lures. Watching a bait move under a float and then that float disappears is so much fun! Come check it out with me.
