Cold Fishing Morning prevailed
Started out in 32 degree temperature throwing the cast net for live shrimp. very few csught.Decided to sbort the mission after no shrimp and couldnt feel my hands (5:00 this mirning)picked up my minow trap and met my clients at 8:30we had incoming tide to work with but still very cold. Clients were troopers though and hit about 4 spots before we started landing some nice ones. shortly after the bite turned off sgain. Not to bad for a challenging morning . Just need patience and persistance .Tight lines 💯🎣🤘🏼

We celebrated his 40th birthday by taking him out, and we all had an incredible time catching an abundance of fish. Captain Stephen skillfully navigated to the perfect spots, providing fresh bait and even assisting my wife with her casting. We highly recommend Captain Stephen; our day couldn't have been better, as we were occupied throughout, consistently catching fish.

Had a great day on the water with Captain Steve today. My wife and I came down to Charleston for a long weekend and took a chance based on all of his positive reviews. He quickly put us on fish and gave me a great experience with a large Red Fish. He is very knowledgeable and makes sure you have a great time. I would highly recommend him.

Captain Steve was an amazing host to me and my mom. He is very knowledgeable, polite, and fun! He jumped right in to help my mom on and off the boat, making her feel very safe. He brought us to his favorite fishing spots and made us feel like pros, which we are not! Weather you’re looking for fishing or cruising the harbor, Capt. Steve is your guy.
