Ratings & Reviews Summary in South Carolina

AI ReviewAI Generated Review Summary

Fishing in South Carolina offers diverse opportunities from coastal Charleston waters to inland lakes like Murray and Santee Cooper. Anglers target redfish, striped bass, black drum, trout, flounder, sharks, catfish, and offshore species including king mackerel, mahi-mahi, and amberjack across inshore flats, nearshore reefs, and deep-water locations. Guides consistently deliver family-friendly experiences with patient instruction for children and beginners while accommodating experienced anglers. Professional captains provide well-maintained boats, quality equipment, and extensive local knowledge to locate productive fishing spots even in challenging conditions. Many operations offer educational approaches, teaching techniques and sharing area insights that create memorable adventures beyond just catching fish.

Captain Fisher and his first mate went above and beyond to ensure we had a great day on the water and plenty of fish in the boat. He was upfront and honest, even recommending that we switch to a morning trip for better action, and worked with us to make it happen. Thanks to his hard work and flexibility, our group had an excellent experience. We look forward to booking with him again in the future!

Adrian was great! He seems to really love his job. And he was so sweet. He even took pictures for us with the sunset at the end of the night to capture our awesome trip. We even got to see a dolphin. Another thing I liked was that he never rushed us. We had a blast! If we decide to come back to Charleston we are definitely hitting him up for another great time.

This trip never happened, please do not book through this website.  Apparently Will doesn’t work anymore but this website is happy to take your money and pretend like you actually booked a fishing trip, and then the morning of the trip you’re driving around looking for a person who isn’t there.  Please do not book a fishing trip with Will through this website.  Now I have to dispute charges on my credit card because even though we called the day of the trip and were assured we would be refunded our deposit, that didn’t happen and now I see a charge for the balance on my card.
