    Great Day on the Water!

    4 Hour Trip • 4 adults • 1 child

    We had a really nice time on our fishing trip. The captain worked hard to find the fish, taking us to several different spots throughout the day and even extending our time on the water. We had some great luck and caught a hammerhead, a bull shark, and a few rays, which was definitely a highlight. What we appreciated most was how patient the captain was with my son, who is almost 8 and was getting a little whiny towards the end of the trip. The captain was very understanding and great with him. We really enjoyed ourselves and had a solid day out on the water!

    Reported catch:
    Hammerhead Shark

    Had a blast!!

    4 Hour Trip - 12:00 PM • 6 adults

    Captain Hayden was great! He's very knowledgeable and very helpful. Fishing was a little slower due to weather, but he still got us on some fish and we had a great time. We hope to come back to the Charleston area and would love to fish with him again.

November offers great fishing for Trout around underwater structure, with plenty of opportunities to target Red Drum, too. This is the driest month, as the fall draws to a close and the tourists leave town.
