The Vanevenhoven brothers started early today on a 1/2 day charter. Not used to big saltwater fish, Alan got an early encounter at our first spot and landed a nice nine pound redfish. Action continued throughout the trip as the water fell. The brothers lost a few around docks but by the end of the [...]

Folly Beach Fishing Charter – by Capt. Stephen Fields

We started out in less than stellar conditions with a slow bite, but we stayed patient and it payed off. We were fishing cracked blue crab and mud minnows around docks and structure. The folks from WV were real troopers today. The capt.’s hat is off to them. Great day on the water considering the [...]

Charleston Fishing Report – April 2012 – by Capt. Geoff Bennett

Wonderful sunny weather has continued day after day making for awesome fishing conditions. With all this warm weather, it’s no surprise that our fishery is 4-6 weeks ahead of schedule. The water is teeming with bait and even a few sharks are already cruising around. Expect April to be a fantastic month of fishing. While [...]

Jason brought his wife Stephanie out on a 1/2 day charter for her first time ever fishing! We found no takers of blue crab or mullet at our first two stops. But at our third stop, we found a bite so heavy that we spent the rest of the trip at that dock. Some of [...]

Birthday Redfish – by Capt. Geoff Bennett

For his birthday, Tim’s wife booked him a 1/2 day charter. We started stalking redfish on the flyrod at low tide on the flats. We found fish but they weren’t interested in flies whether they were bushy mullet patterns or flashy small spoon flies. As strong winds built and the tide rose, we switched over [...]

We had planned on fishing in the harbor but with winds at 15-20, we opted for Folly Beach fishing where we could get more protection. Once we found some clean water, we staked out and put out cracked blue crab. As the water came out of the grass, our rods began to bend over! The [...]

Windy Days of Charleston Fishing – by Capt. Geoff Bennett

Started early on Tuesday to make the most of low tide and quickly headed to some flats. Had a nice redfish hit cracked blue crab and Kevin did a great job reeling him in. The bite faded as the winds began to really pick up out of the Northeast. Fished with the same family again [...]

Will, age 4, treated his father to a 3/4 day Charleston fishing charter. We started at first light to try to get at the redfish before the tide was in the grass. At our first stop, a redfish quickly inhaled a chunk of blue crab. We fished mostly with crab for the rest of the [...]
