Hello, a little about myself. 1st I am a father of 3 daughers and 1 son all who I am very proud of. My wife Steph is my biggest supporter and without her I wouldn't have started this adventure. Ive been fishing my whole life starting in the Northeast and more recently here in SC. on the Waccamaw River. While fishing the Waccamaw is very different then what I was use to, I learned very quickly how to fish the river and its tributaries. The bite is very much tide driven so start times will vary depending on tide. Ive also learned that at anytime you can hook into a big ol' bass so hold on and be ready! Lastly it is fishing and no matter what ill do my best to get you on fish and hopefully youll have a great time on this beautiful river! Payment options will be cash, Zello, Cash App, or Venmo. Thank you for choosing Blackwater Bass Fishing Charters and have a blessed day!

    5 Hour Trip – Bass Fishing • 2 adults

    Well, to begin, captain Dave was more than we hoped for. He is very personable, pleasant to be around. He listens to what his clients say which makes the trip even better. While his boat is not as modern or as big as others available, it fits perfectly for what he is offering. However, providing a small locker for clients items would open up a bit more floor space which would make it easier moving around the boat. While this didn't really impact our trip since we came aboard with very little gear. Overall we had an extremely productive day on the water, captain Dave is highly motivated and loves what he is doing and it shows in how successful our trip turned out to be. You can never really predict how a fishing trip will be, and as an angler knows, it's really up to the fish if you're successful. Captain Dave has the ability to make everything come together so his clients are successful.

    What an awesome day!

    5 Hour Trip – Bass Fishing • 1 adult

    PB 4lb LM Bass!! It was a beautiful morning and had a great time. David is very knowledgeable about the river and didnt give up when the bite was slow. My favorite was the Gar, (besides the 4lb Bass! )that was a first. Took away a lot of knowledge and understanding from the trip, which is always the goal when fishing new bodies. Thanks David for a great time.

    Response from Captain

    The BEST experience!!

    5 Hour Trip – Bass Fishing • 2 adults

    David is the best!! my husband and son spent the day with him and my husband said he was amazing with our 14 yo son!! David knew the tide impact and also taught them where the bass were and how to skip to them. it was an art that takes David’s knowledge. They will definitely be back and with David!

    Great day on the river

    5 Hour Trip – Bass Fishing • 1 adult

    I had a great time out on the Waccamaw River with Capt David. We caught bass on a variety of baits, and I look forward to taking some of the tricks I learned back to my home waters. Whether you are a new angler, or an experienced angler looking to learn about the Waccamaw bass fishing scene, Capt David will help you out. I look forward to going again the next time I'm in the area.
