Captain Doug was the best! First of all, we booked through this site and it linked us to a charter in FL. We did not know until 12 hours before the trip when we received confirmation. We had to quickly cancel and scramble to find a new trip. It was supposed to be a surprise trip for our boys. Captain Doug had a trip available first thing in the morning. Thank Goodness! The weather was perfect. Captain Doug is funny! We caught fish. Redfish. Sharks. Croaker. Whiting. And other big fish. Note, BIG! They were too large to keep. SC fishing requirements are 23 inches or less. Our fish kept getting larger and larger from 25 inches to 28.5. We didnโt have any to take home, but the experience was worth it! We will definitely head out with Captain Doug again!

We weremt and taken fishig as planed. I texted several times as as never aprised it would not tbe the same captain in the listing. The captain seemed slightly un-prepared for the charter with minimal live bait for inshore fishing (a dozen mud minnows for three fishing on a 4 hour charter).ย There was plenty of bait on the Simrad screen but we never tred to get any. Excuses were given. On the brighter side he did put us on the fish at every location we moved to. My daughter grandson both caught a keeper redfish and an over-slot red. Grandson caught a 18 inch flounder to. Captan was safety contious, very nice and knew the area well we fished on a 26 foot Pathfinder that was in good order and well equipped.

Hey Jose, Iโm glad you guys had a good time! Your message and review left me concerned so I went back and looked at our previous messages. You booked a 3hr inshore trip because I was unable to accommodate an offshore trip because of a surgical procedure that I had on my back. I did let you know there would be another captain running the inshore charter. Captain Doug usually keeps plenty of live bait on board and always follows the trends with what the fish are hungry for. I was very surprised to hear that he only had a dozen live minnows on board. Out of curiosity and to make sure he stays prepared, do you recall what bait the fish preferred that day? Give me a shout the next time youโre in town and weโll get that Wahoo checked off your list!
Thanks Captain Michael Yount

Wes started off by targeting some flounder and then went to the channels to some redfish fishing. The captain did not disappoint. We caught multiple large redfish and boy did they put up a good fight. The rods stay bent and any down time was spent recuperating from the last catch. We caught multiple 28โ to 32โ redfish thanks to the knowledgeable captain who knew exactly where to go. My boys have not stopped talking about this trip and I donโt see that changing anytime in the future. Thanks! Will definitely recommend!

Excellent! Weโre glad you guys had a good time! Hope to see you soon!
It was a cold afternoon but we were on the fish from first line in water. Every spot we stopped getting consistent fish. Plus good size to each fish. Very responsive when booked. The captain was very knowledgeable of the area we were fishing. Plus a bit of history to go along. Will plan on booking again when in the area.
Thank you Shawn! Hit us up when you get back in town! We have some good Nearshore reef options the end of March and into April, fishing for bull reds, large black drum, and weakfish on the bottom along with Spanish Mackerel, False Albacore Tuna,ย and Blue Fish on the surface (all on artificial lures)! Also some great nearshore action the end of May to mid July, fishing for Cobia and Spades! Spade fishing is crazy hard fighting fun on light tackle!
We had a great time and would definitely come back again. This was our first time doing a fishing guide/charter. The small fish kept stealing our bait on the smaller rigs but we hooked and landed a couple of sharks that put up a good fight. We also lost three bigger fish or sharks, not sure since we didnโt get them close enough to see before they cut the line. Captain Doug was excellent in moving when the bite was slow and had a great fun attitude.
