4 Hour Inshore Trip

4 Hour Trip - Inshore (AM)2 adults

Capt Tim is an ace. A 4 hour trip can be challenging for a one man crew but Tim nailed it. After a short boat ride Tim quickly filled the bait wells with live bait and we had our first bull red and a finetooth shark within 2 minutes of having lines in the water. When the bite slowed, Tim pulled the anchor and relocated putting us back on the fish within minutes. He kept us on the fish the entire trip. I will definitely make it a point to book another trip with Capt Tim the next time I’m in Hilton Head.

    RAINMAKER brings the THUNDER!

    5 Hour Trip - Inshore (AM) • 4 adults

    Captain Tim is everything you’d want in a charter boat captain. Prompt communication, local knowledge, local networking, and a personality complimented by an obvious background in Marine Biology. He was quick to point out several different species of marine life while on the water, and had encyclopedic knowledge of the species. We departed the docks promptly and were on the bait and fishing within the first 45 minutes of the trip. We were hooked up and fighting fish immediately, catching and releasing several bull reds and sharks. Once the tide went slack we moved out and looked for birds capitalizing on the leftovers of the Spanish Mackerel feeding frenzy. We put several nice Mackerel on ice and treated the family that evening to fresh blackened Mackerel tacos with mango salsa. Don’t hesitate, book yourself a trip with Captain Tim! You won’t be disappointed. @capt_timmy

    my boys had an amazing time with captin Tim

    3 Hour Trip - Shark Fishing • 5 adults • 3 children

    We had an amazing time on our 3-hour shark fishing trip! It was an unforgettable experience and worth every penny. Captain Tim was fantastic with the boys. He kept them engaged the entire trip and made sure they were constantly reeling in sharks and other fish. You can tell he genuinely cares about giving his guests the best experience possible—he worked incredibly hard to make sure each of them caught something. Not only is Captain Tim a great guide, but he’s also extremely knowledgeable and happy to share his expertise throughout the trip. His passion for fishing really shows, and it made the whole experience even more enjoyable. If you’re looking for an exciting fishing charter with an experienced captain who goes above and beyond, look no further. We will definitely be booking with Captain Tim again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for an incredible day on the water!

    Fish on!

    4 Hour Trip - Inshore (AM) • 6 adults

    Captain Tim was very welcoming, and his communication leading up to the trip was excellent. The boat was clean, well-maintained, and a perfect size for four people plus the captain. We had six people plus the captain, which made things a little tight, and we were limited to four lines in the water at a time to avoid tangles. The fishing started strong, with a variety of different catches during the first hour. Once the tide started coming in, we moved to a second spot to see what we could find. Unfortunately, the second location didn’t produce as well. There were plenty of baitfish schooling around, but we just couldn’t get the target fish to bite. We finished the day with some slow trolling and managed to catch another three or four fish. Overall, it was a great trip, and Captain Tim was professional, friendly, and easy to work with.

    Great Fishing Experience

    5 Hour Trip - Inshore (PM) • 4 adults

    We had less than ideal conditions with strong wind, rough water and moving tide. Tim told us almost the only thing biting that day were sharks (which most of us were ok with), but Tim still worked hard to keep the bait and location fresh and set up multiple rods to cover all possibilities. We ended up catching about 12 fun small sharks and one large black tip.

    Response from Captain

    I had a blast fishing with you guys. You have a fun crew.

    Great family trip

    4 Hour Trip - Inshore (AM) • 6 adults • 1 child

    It was a perfect introduction to inshore fishing. Tim was knowledgeable and friendly and patient with our kids. We stayed nearshore as some of the family gets very seasick and we still had an amazing experience catching several fish and sharks. We would absolutely go out again with Tim if we ever were back in SC.

    thanks for coming out!
