Had an incredible 4-hour trip with Short Skirts Sportfishing and Captain Hayden! Our group of 3 adults and 3 teens caught many Redfish, a flounder, and even a shark! We also saw a dolphin. Captain Hayden was fantastic—super patient, fun, and great with the kids. His passion for fishing and deep knowledge of the Charleston area really came through. The boat was large, clean and comfortable, and the whole experience was memorable. Highly recommend for families visiting Charleston!

As luck would have it the temp dropped about 20 degrees the night we arrived. The fish didn’t care for this at all, but Chris worked hard and put us on a variety of fish. Drum, trout. flounder and a few other species. My daughter and I decided to book another day and try fishing offshore for seabass and vermillion snapper. That was when the action turned red hot. It was non-stop all day until we waved the white flag and couldn’t reel in any more fish. We limited out on vermillion as well as had a good catch of seabass and triggerfish also. My daughter caught her first amberjack which is quite a thrill. She found out quick why they are nick named wreck donkeys LOL. I highly recommend this outfit for inshore and off. I’ve chartered with a lot of captains through my years and Chris is top notch. We will be fishing with him again soon. The red snapper bite was on fire too even though it’s closed and they all went back. Still a great fight.

We had a great time and all 5 of us caught fish. Would have been nice to catch a few more but we spent almost an hour reeling in an 8-9ft shark!  It was a workout my sons and I. Great end to our vacation and we will definitely book with Hayden again.

Hayden really knows his stuff, very professional and kind.  He was great with my kids and helped them every step of the way.  This was by far the best charter experience we’ve had!  Thank you Hayden!
