Captain Dan is world class! If you’re looking to fish Charleston, he’s your guy.  We originally booked an inshore trip, but due to king tides we had to pivot to a nearshore. Credit to the Captain here as some captains would have just taken my money and we wouldn’t have caught anything. Captain Dan knows the water, the tides, and how to catch fish. I’ve fished all over the world and can honestly say that this Captain knows how it’s done. Rigs were always set, boat was clean, tackle was ready, plenty of bait onboard and he was always willing to teach us something new. We had a busy day ripping drag and having fun. My son and I had a blast and were exhausted by the end of the charter from reeling in all day! Thank you Captain Dan, we’ll be onboard again sometime soon!

Although the weather did not allow us to get out on the big waters Captain Dan adapted and we overcame it. We started out with Capt. Dan catching some live bait for us which the kids found very impressive, let’s be real, so did I. We were able to catch some black sea bass right off the bat just casting on our own while Dan got the big rods set up. We landed two sting rays pretty quickly, then a spinner shark followed, which led into hooking into a 35 minute battle with a 250 pound bull shark which we successfully landed, along with a bonnet head and sand bar shark. Dan has earned some repeat customers with this trip. Highly recommend!

Came to Charleston not looking for anything, but finding everything. Captain Dan has to be one of the most real individuals I have ever met, salt of the earth type.

We boarded his boat, and nothing was pressing. Figured we get out and catch a few fish to solidify a bachelor party with a different type of South Carolina trophy. Captain Dan was happy to fill us in about the area and answer any questions that we had whether it was fishing or not. We laughed our asses off the entire time.

We caught plenty of fish, pulling up different species of sharks. One of us even got into about a 130 lb. sand shark or more plainly put, a “donkey.” Captain Dan was fired up, and I really think it was, not from a sales standpoint, but from a “love for the sport of fishing” place.

We didn’t want to leave and even tried to book him the following day, but he was already booked. So, we’ll catch him next time we are in town.

The day flew by, but it was the highlight of a trip that all of us will remember for a lifetime.

Fish On!
