What would you recommend to anglers fishing in Mount Pleasant, South Carolina for the first time?

Try to find a charter that puts your experience first and foremost. I mainly booked this on the fact you could keep your catch and they cleaned it for you. the problem is if you don't catch fish you don't need someone to clean them.

To enjoy the trip and to remember sometimes the fish don’t cooperate although the guides do there best to put you on fish. Its called fishing not catching. have a positive attitude afterall your fishing in Mt pleasant SC.

We only caught two fish on our charter, but that wasn’t the captain’s fault. Ben got us to try different retrieves, live bait and artificial, tried multiple spots, and even gave us some extra time in hopes of catching another fish. That’s just how fishing works out sometimes.

I would recommend a charter with Captain Whitesides. His experience and demeanor are IDEAL for fishing in Charleston for the first time, regardless of the anglers experience. Fantastic boat and had us on the right fish with the right tackle almost as soon as we were on board. I cannot endorse him enough.

It was an active day, but we didn’t get a ton of fish on the hook, lost a couple , one shark and one stingray. The water was pretty warm which probably didn’t help. The boat ride and scenery were great.

Captain Brian is knowledgeable, helpful, patient and an skillful fisherman. He took us to locations to catch plenty of fish. His boat is well equipped with fishing rods, tackle and bait. It is a very clean, perfect boat for fishing. He has a wide range of cool music to listen to. He is a very friendly and interesting person. Highly recommend Captain Brian Fishing Excursion. You won’t be disappointed Thanks Captain Brian for a fun day.

It was not the perfect time of the year for fishing here. A little later would have been a better bite. Captain Ray tried different tactics the whole time. We went out 40 miles to where the fish were. We could have had our limit of black fin tuna, but we opted to go for wahoo and Captain Ray said we may not catch anything but you sure won't if you don't try. It's not a guarantee to catch fish but Captain Ray did everything possible to do so. We ended up with 4 tuna and some other fish we caught off the bottom, I don't remember the name but they were delicious. The experience was great, we had beautiful weather, Captain Ray was fun, knowledgeable and just easy to be with. I would recommend Captain Ray to any serious fishermen.

Listen to the captain. He is from the area and he knows the area and knows what to look for to out you on fish. If his spot isn't working and he can't get a fish on the line then he will continue to search to put you on some fish.

Great experience. We did an afternoon trip and were grateful that we had a good breeze all afternoon otherwise it would have been too hot. Morning trip is probably better for those sensitive to the heat.

Make sure you wear sunscreen and a hat that won’t blow away. Wear layers and shoes you don’t mind getting wet or dirty. Let the captain know what you’re interested in catching so they can go to the best place to increase your chances of catching the perfect fish. Relax and enjoy!

We ran into a bit of weather, so I would say keep your eye on the radar for showers. Other than that, the guides know what they are doing and will put you on fish to the best of their ability. If it gets slow, they know the spots to catch sharks…and they are always biting! Redfish, toadfish, rays and 3 different sharks is what we had on the lines today.

Plan to dress warm in the morning and shed clothes as the day goes on. The boat we went on will do 20 plus knots so we were glad we layered. I like inshore trips because I’ve sailed blue water all my life and after over 60 years of doing it, I’ve had enough beatings.

September and the fall season is a great time to fish this area. There is action in the surf, inshore and offshore depending on what you’re targeting. Visit Haddrells Point for all the expert advice and supplies you need.

Go for the trophy fish in the summer months, shark and bull reds. It is too hot to fish the creeks necessary for trout or smaller reds suitable for eating. The water temperature makes the fish sluggish. Save that type of fishing for colder months.

Yes, the weather was excellent - not too hot and not too cold. I would recommend booking a trip on a weekday if possible. It was so peaceful and enjoyable out on the water; we only saw 3-4 other boats all afternoon.

We did the 4 hour outer bank's because we had small kids and that was good for them the captain took us to some good spots so they caught some nice fish next time I want to do the half day with the teens and adults we had an awesome captain and crew ready to go again

We fished from 2pm to 7pm. We had luck with black drum and red fish under the docks with shrimp fishing on the floor...we caught the largest spotted trout with shrimp on floating corks near the shorelines between 6pm and 7pm when the wind was calm.

Definitely recommend fishing with Todd. He knew how to find the fish and made the day an enjoyable and relaxing experience.

Weather and water are heating up, conditions can get challenging and recommend the early morning prior to the heat and pop up storms.

Have nothing to compare it too but based on reactions and from others on the water it was particularly slow on the weekend, possibly due to weather or increased pressure.

Perfect weather. The dead (low) tide in the morning made fro great site casting. And by late morning, more than 4 ft of tide had come in enabling us to get into the grass flats with ease.

if youre on the fence about booking a trip, just do it. You won’t regret it.

Be patient - your first spot may not be hot but you’ll find the fish if you’re flexible.

Wear sunscreen and a broadbrimed hat with a neck strap. Be ready to get your hands dirty.

Sunscreen and a hat. Be patient. even the professionals cant control the tide movement

Make sure you plan or the weather. It can be sunny then rain within minutes. Wear the right shoes!

Do not over pack food or other things you think are essential. You wont need them. Sun block, snack, and water are basically all you need.

Captain Joseph was great with are 2 younger fishers we had aboard. With less than ideal conditions, cold and windy, he still put us on the fish. Great day!

be ready for a multitude of different species fighting for your bair, listen to the captain and have a great time

dress warm- think about your outfit & what time you book based on weather & temperature. Temps generally warm up throughout the day
