Member since September 2019 Mount Pleasant, United States
Background
I grew up in the coastal waters of SC. I started out fishing, like many anglers do, with a passion for figuring out how to become a better angler. I also spent many years fishing on the professional Redfish tournament trails. Our goal is to leave you with a sense of accomplishment after a trip together. Teaching and seeing smiles are the biggest joy on our trips. Fishing is about relaxation, catching fish, and getting to see the local knowledge. Great customer service is paramount to our business. Let’s have some fun!
Techniques
I love to teach people how to fish. I typically have customers start out with live bait under a popping cork. Live shrimp is the preferred bait of many of the species we catch here in the Low Country.

With the waters around Charleston still being super clear, the redfish are stacked up on the flats. Live shrimp under a popping cork have been doing the trick.

Memorial Day Madness
Memorial Day Madness
May 26, 2024 Mount Pleasant
The entire Memorial Day weekend was action packed. Waters we calm and clear. The baitfish are schooled around every corner. Wes and his crew caught speckled trout in large numbers with his bachelor party group. Jason, Emily, and Colin also fished the weekend. We were in search for large black drum and large patroliing reds. Emily caught the biggest red in her life, while Jason burned up the drag on some stellar black drums. If you arent fishing yet this year your missing oit.

May has been aMAYzing!!!!
May has been aMAYzing!!!!
May 3, 2024 Mount Pleasant
May in Charleston can be one of the best months of the year to fish. Big speckled trout, redfish, black drum, and so much of our inshore species are waking up! More and more 'finfish" baits like menhaden and mullet are showing up in the creeks and rivers surrounding Charleston. This gives anglers a chance to catch super aggressive speckled trout and redfish. The appearance of these bait fish triggers a feeding frenzy where fish feel like they "must" strike immediately. This is due to the cooler winter months of having no to little pray to feed on. In the spring these fish still have a competitive drive to feed as much and as quickly as they can in fear to losing out on a meal again. As we drift into early summer, June provides lots of action on bigger "bull" redfish and even sharks. Warmer water temps will drive Apex predator fish to deeper depths, giving anglers the chance to catch a monster. Come hop aboard and find out what it's like to bend a rod on these fantastic fish.

Fall bite is on!
Fall bite is on!
Sep 5, 2020 Mount Pleasant
Even though the cooler weather isn't here yet, the inshore fall bite has been heating up. Redfish and Sea Trout are busting the shrimp in the shallows. Nearshore the Bull redfish and sharks are still on the prowl. With early season (fall wether fronts) coming into play, the morning bite has been excellent. My clients have had some great success fishing live shrimp under a float. The next couple of months are the most exciting times to fish the Charleston area.
