Richard Stoughton

Charleston, United States
25+ reviews
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. Captain Richard has been guiding professionally for the past 15 years and holds a 50 Ton Masted License from the USCG. He is patient with beginners and kids, and is always ready for a challenge with experienced anglers.
