    Awesome morning in Charleston

    Half Day Trip – Inshore (AM)2 adults

    We had a great morning fishing charter in early April in Charleston, South Carolina with Brent Welch. Brent was knowledgeable, professional, and made the trip enjoyable from start to finish. The weather was beautiful, the fishing was fun, and he knew exactly where to go to keep us on fish. Highly recommend Brent if you’re looking for a relaxed and well-run charter in the Charleston area.

    Amazing Day on the Water

    Half Day Trip – Inshore (PM)6 adults1 child

    We are visiting from NY and decided to book a fishing trip last minute. Brent advised us that the odds were against us with high tide, high winds and warm water. He was so patient with the kids and persistent with trying different locations. We had a great time and ended up catching a variety of fish. We caught Red Drum, Stingray, Toad fish, Croaker, and even a crab!

    Redfish

    Best Charter Ever!

    Half Day Trip – Inshore (AM)2 adults

    We have been on several charters throughout our travels and this was definitely the best. Captain Brent kept us on the fish and demonstrated his seasoned knowledge many times. Felt like we were fishing with a friend and not on a charter. Captain Brent kept hooks baited and coached us along as needed with great tips and tricks for landing 20+ fish!

    Reported catch:
    Black Drum
    Redfish
    Flounder
