Kiawah Island Fishing Charter

11/10 Monday I fished a double out of Kiawah.  Morning trip was cold and windy and it took us a good 2 hours to find a good bite, but once we did it was on fire and made us quit thinking about the cold.  For a solid hour and a half I had 4 guys catching sea trout, probably around 40, they kept 6 for a fresh fish dinner.
2nd trip was a better tide and I had 3 golfers from the other side of the pond ( England). A fun trip with a good bite , first couple of hours they caught a bunch of sea trout ( maybe 30-40) mostly small fish and a 15 pound redfish.  Final spot produced a good mixed bag in the last hour with a dozen more  reds, 5 black drum, 3 sheepshead, couple sea bass, and a flounder.

Kiawah Island Inshore Fishing Charter

10/15 I ran a double out of Kiawah today and the weather was beautiful and the Fall bite was strong.  Fished this morning with long time client and good friend Andreas Bechtler and his friend Dieter from Europe.  The first 3 hours were non stop redfish action, they landed 47 reds, 1 trout, 3 black drum and 2 sheepshead.  Weather was perfect and the wildlife was putting on a show today, we got to observe dolphins strand feeding, a pair of bald eagles stealing a fish from an osprey, deer and turkeys in the marsh.
My 2nd group was a corporate banking group from New York, wind picked up and water got murky but it didn't slow the trout bite, they caught around 30 sea trout on popping corks, with some bluefish and ladyfish mixed in.

Folly Beach, SC Inshore Fishing Charter

9/25 Fished an afternoon charter with a group of guys who were in town for a meeting, and the Fall bite is here.  First stop was nonstop action throwing popping corks , totals were about 30 reds (1-5 pounds), 11 trout, 4 ladyfish and 15 bluefish.  After going through about 12 dozen shrimp, we saved a few of the blues and ladyfish and went to sit for something larger.  Moved to the inlet and caught 5 huge redfish ( 22-33 pounds) and 2 sharks.  Not bad for a 4 hour charter with about 60-70 quality fish.

Kiawah Island Redfish Charter

9/14 Had a morning trip out of Kiawah with regular client Mr Kaplin.  The redfish bite was on fire, we stopped at 3 different spots and each one produced 15-20 reds of all sizes.  Between the 2 of them they caught about 50 redfish, with the largest weighing around 12 pounds.  Last few minutes of the trip we hit the inlet for something larger and quickly boated a 75 pound dusky shark.



Folly Beach Inshore Fishing Charter

9/14 Had a good buddy Justin in town form Atlanta and he wanted to get his wife out on the water for an afternoon fishing trip.  At first we hit the inlet to try to get her a quick shark, but after 3 huge sting rays about 75-100 each we moved on to go find some redfish.  The redfish action was steady and they boated about 25-30 reds all 1-6 pounds.
