Thank you once more, Brent, for the fantastic outing this afternoon. We will certainly return. Although the afternoon began at a leisurely pace, Brent's determination in finding fish and assisting the boys (aged 7 and 11) with baiting, re-tying, and recasting their lines was unwavering. He maintained a positive attitude throughout and eventually led us to a successful catch of some impressive South Carolina reds.

Landed numerous redfish. It was an excellent outing.

Being visitors to the Charleston area on vacation, I arranged a half-day fishing trip with my son through Brent. We were thoroughly impressed with Brent's professionalism and expertise as our guide. While we are well-acquainted with fishing along the Texas coast for similar species, Brent's remarkable familiarity with the local area stood out. Throughout the morning, we used both artificial and live bait, resulting in a successful trifecta catch of redfish, trout, and flounder. Beyond the enjoyable fishing experience, Brent provided us with a captivating history lesson about the area and effective fishing techniques. Brent's extensive experience and preparation ensured a fantastic time on the water for us.

My spouse and I, along with our three children aged 10, 7, and 5, had a fantastic experience with Captain Brent. He exerted considerable effort to ensure we had a successful fishing trip. Captain Brent exhibited a high level of personal attention and remarkable patience, particularly considering that it was our children's first time on substantial bodies of water. Despite our kids' enthusiasm for fishing, Captain Brent's guidance made the experience memorable and enjoyable. I highly endorse Captain Brent for a family-friendly fishing excursion.
