Background
Captain Richard was born and raised in Charleston and has fished from a very young age. When he was 10, he was given a small boat which allowed him to travel further out and experience the rivers of Charleston even more.

He is patient with beginners and kids, and is always ready for a challenge with experienced anglers.
