    Moj prvi čarter

    3 Hour Trip – Inshore AM • 2 adults

    Rezervisao sam čarter za moju suprugu i mene tokom odmora, bio je to moj prvi ikada. Rodney je odličan kapetan, profesionalan, prijatan, odveo nas je do mesta u pravo vreme i uradio je sve osim što nam nije izvlačio ribu iz vode. Njegovo poznavanje oblasti je bilo neverovatno, "baci između ovih stabala između 2 i 6 stopa od obale za redfish, inače ćeš uloviti dosadne pinfish" i zaista se to i dogodilo. Ulovili smo 9 riba, 6 redfish-a, pastrmku sa tačkama, pinfish i atlantskog oštronosog ajkulu, u čarteru od 3 sata smatrao sam da je to izuzetno. Nažalost, jedina riba dovoljno velika da se zadrži bila je pastrmka sa tačkama, ali kapetan Rodney nam ju je filetirao i čak preporučio lokalno mesto gde nam je mogu skuvati. Sledeći put kada budemo u Hilton Headu planiramo da ponovo sarađujemo sa njim.

    Najbolji ribolovni izlet ikad!

    2 Hour Trip – Inshore PM • 4 adults • 2 children

    Pre svega, reću vam da naša najmlađa ćerka ima poremećaj iz spektra autizma. Plašila sam se kako će reagovati na ovo putovanje, ali kada kažem da se provela sjajno – mislim to doslovno! Ne možemo dovoljno da zahvalimo kapetanu Rodneyu. Postarao se da svako od nas ulovi ribu. Čak je i naša šestogodišnjakinja doživela uzbuđenje svog prvog ulova. Mi (roditelji) smo krenuli po crvenu ribu i možda iverku, ali naše devojčice su imale druge planove. Kada ih je kapetan pitao šta žele, povikale su da hoće ajkulu. I dobro – dobili smo ajkulu, a mi smo dobili svoju crvenu. Crvena od 66 centimetara, toliko velika da je nismo mogli zadržati, ali taj doživljaj je bio nezaboravan trenutak. Ima se čime pohvaliti, to je sigurno. Svakako ćemo se vratiti da pecamo sa Rodneyem ponovo.

    Odlično iskustvo.

    5 Hour Trip – Inshore/Nearshore PM • 2 adults

    Imali smo izlet na pola dana i bilo je toliko zabavno. Izašli smo na otvorenu vodu, ulovili nekoliko ajkula i kako one vuku. Kako je plima dolazila, uputili smo se nazad prema travnatim područjima plitkih potoka i ulovili smo nekoliko crvenih riba (redfish) od 28" i 30". Kapetan Rodney je bio veoma upućen u ribolov i geografiju tog područja. Uvek je držao svež mamac na liniji i bio je veoma dobar u tome što je pomagao mojoj supruzi kako da izvuče ove prelepe ribe. Njegova oprema je bila vrhunska, dobro organizovana i on definitivno uživa u boravku na vodi. Definitivno ćemo ponovo koristiti usluge Kapetana Rodneya u budućnosti i toplo ga preporučujem drugima.

    Čarter pogodan za porodice!

    4 Hour Trip – Inshore/Nearshore AM • 3 adults • 1 child

    Imali smo odlično iskustvo sa Southern Summers Charters i kapetanom Rodneyem. Od trenutka kada smo stigli, bio je druželjubiv, strpljiv i neverovatno gostoljubiv. Pronašao je savršenu ravnotežu između prijatnosti i helpfulness-a, a da pritom nije bio nametljiv, što je našoj porodici omogućilo da uživa u kvalitetnom zajedničkom vremenu, a istovremeno da koristi njegovo stručno znanje. Čamac je bio lep, čist i dobro održavan. Takođe smo imali promenu u poslednjem trenutku u pogledu veličine naše grupe, kada je naš sin oboleo u letnjem kampu i morao da se vrati kući ranije. Rodney je bio izuzetno prilagodljiv i fleksibilan, rešio je situaciju bez ikakvih problema, što smo veoma cenili. Njegovo poznavanje lokalnih voda, vrsta riba i najboljih mesta za pecanje bilo je impresivno. Zahvaljujući njegovim savetima, ulovili smo nekoliko ajkula, raže i nekoliko drum riba. Čak smo imali i ugrize od flounder-a, mada nismo uspeli da izvučemo nijednu na ovom izletu. Sveukupno, bilo je to fantastično iskustvo i toplo preporučujemo Southern Summers Charters. Definitivno ćemo rezervisati još jedan izlet sa kapetanom Rodneyem u budućnosti!

    Savršena porodična ribolovna avantura!

    4 Hour Trip – Inshore/Nearshore PM • 4 adults • 1 child

    Imao sam medicinski kongres u Hilton Headu u junu. Moja supruga i ja smo poveli našu ćerku i unuka od 7 godina na malo uživanja na plaži. Naš unuk je imao nekoliko prilika za vožnju brodom i ribolov u Severnoj Karolini i Floridi pre ovog putovanja. Zaista mu se svidelo. Želeli smo da imamo posebno iskustvo ribolova tokom ovog putovanja. Kapetan Rodney je bio neverovatан domaćin. Veoma dobro poznaje različita mesta za ribolov i gde pronaći određene vrste riba. Bio je veoma zabavan i podsticajan za našeg unuka. U početku smo mislili da će ovo biti sve o ribolovu našeg unuka, ali kapetan Rodney je to učinio toliko uzbudljivim da smo se sva četvorica uključili. Ulovili smo šest Red Drum riba, dva atlantska Sharpnose ajkule i jednu Sting Ray! Ova avantura je bila vrhunac našeg putovanja, stvarajući divne uspomene za sve nas, posebno za našeg unuka. Najbolja 4 sata zabave i predivnih prizora. Toplo preporučujem.

March Madness Monsters

Its that time of year when we get a chance to target some monster Black Drum. Who’s going to be the next one to reel in one these giants?

Dog Days of Summer

jun 23, 2024 • Hilton Head Island
The dog days of Summer are among us. The redfish bite has slowed down but we are still finding some chewing along with flounder and speckled trout. Looking forward to hooking up with some tarpon and finding the crevalle jacks soon. Always a treat during the Summer months. Some cobia are still being caught as well as different types of shark species. When booking think about the tide schedule and ask which tide would be best for different species.

Winter Fishing

jan 17, 2024 • Hilton Head Island
The winter bite has been incredible lately! Lots and lots of reds are eating good with some sheepshead, trout, and black drum mixed in! Most fish are being caught with live shrimp, frozen shrimp, or mud minnows on the bottom and popping cork! Instant book today!

Early Spring Weather Bite

mar 1, 2023 • Hilton Head Island
The end of February and start of March has seen warm weather. The trout bite this past week was on fire on the incoming tide with clients catching some really nice trout ranging from 18"-20" each. The redfish bite was just as good with most ranging in the 16"- 18" range. Cooler weather is expected to come back so we will see how that effects the bite, but make no mistakes that Spring is right around the corner and it's always a great time to get out on the water and get those rods bent.

Fall Fishing and Transitioning into Wint

nov 26, 2022 • Hilton Head Island
The Bull Reds were chomping from October into November, and the creek fishing has been hot through November. The trout bite has been heating up as well. Can't wait to see what December, January, and February fishing has in store for Southern Summers Charters. I expect the Sheepshead bite will be picking up. Contact Southern Summers Charters and book your next inshore fishing trip. There is never a bad time to go fishing in the Low Country.

Fishy February Finish

feb 27, 2022 • Hilton Head Island
This past weekend produced some great catches. On Saturday February 26th we had a 10 yr old angler catch his first ever Redfish at 26" on the outgoing tide. Then we went on to catch seven more Redfish in slot and three Spotted Sea Trout at 18" each. The next day did not disappoint either with clients catching ten Redfish with three of those measuring 25", 23", and 22" absolute hogs. The bite has been best two hours before and the two hours after low tide with most action coming from using popping corks and live mud minnows. It's only expected to get better come March. Book your trip with Southern Summers Charters and let's go fishing!
