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

Captain Doug was amazing and our kids had an amazing time. We were on 5 different kinds of fish and he helped my daughter hook onto multiple fish... We had a great time and would recommend this for everyone

I would recommend people fishing here for the first time to book a Charter with Captain Jeff and Drumroll charters. He has fished here all his life and he knows the waters. I personally like beach and ocean fishing, but the Captain knows how to fish in the rivers and lakes as well. So the short answer is, Yes I would recommend people fish the Folly beach area for there first time.

Go with Sea Breeze Charters! It was a fantastic adventure. We caught fish, had fun, and the Captain Doug was very kind, knowledgeable, and ensured we had a great time and made a fabulous family memory!

The weather was a little windy so we we're not able to catch what we were supposed to but the overall trip was awesome the captain knew the river very well and we fished many spots unfortunately the weather didn't cooperate, captain was very friendly and helpful I would definitely do it again

Definitely bring lots of water, snacks, and sunscreen. No bananas, they are bad luck. Breathable long-sleeved shirts a neck gator, a hat, and nice polarized sunglasses will help keep you out of the sun. Be willing to listen, you'll learn a lot.

August is apparently towards the end of fishing season, so you can't keep nearly any of the reef fish you get there so don't fish for keeps in the reef this month. If you want to fish for food to eat, Whiting is out to play. They aren't big fish so nothing for trophies....but very good to eat.

If you're looking to target a specific species of fish contact Jeffrey for a fishing report before you book a trip as he knows where they live.

Water temp was a little cold so fish were smaller, but Jeffrey at Drumroll charters put us on several types

Water is still a little too cold for fish to be moving actively, but you can still get some with patience.

In fall, the beginning of September and October, is an exciting time to fish for many species. Especially Red Drum, Trout, Flounder and more. Go for a full day if time allows.

Beginners would love this trip! Jeffery is so patient and happy to help bait hooks and cast for his guests. He has a ton of knowledge of the area and he placed us where the fish were.

Amazing trip and awesome Captain! Kevin can take you where the fish are at! Couldn’t have asked for a better day! ~Brianne

The weather was great, and the intercoastal waterway that Folly River is was calm. The Captain knew the bathymetry and got on some sweet spots.

I am saying our trip was great. We were at the end of a front that came through so we had perfect weather.

Enjoy the experience with each other. Whether you catch none or a dozen, it's the time together that counts!

Had a great trip with Dustin very knowledgeable of area .Got us on quality fish. Had a blast with him. Recommend his services to anyone who is willing to take him as a guide.

Go fishing with Asheton at Compass Rose Adventures if you are looking for a good inland trip, especially sharks.

Wear enough clothes bc it was cold in the am and pack snacks. We were good though.

Be prepared for the weather, you never know what to expect with the wind and surf

Be knowledgeable about getting seasick in open reef water, things to better help deal with that.

Bring sunscreen and a lunch(sandwich). Listen to your guide/ Captain. Have fun and hold on!

Captain Karen is the best, you'll have the best time if you choose any trip with her.

The inlet areas are much more productive than beach fishing … kayak or canoe helps

Be aware of limited passenger car parking at the ramp. And be prepared for the heat.

The weather can be a windy and there was some scattered rain but over all not too hot.

I loved the boat and I am a little skittish small boats. Can't wait to do it again.
