Big Redfish – by Capt. Geoff Bennett

Facing another day of stiff winds, the Towles family did a great job today. Had redfish up to eight pounds eat cracked crab at our first stop. We went to fish some oyster beds as low tide approached. Not long after our first casts, John’s rod violently bent over and the drag began to scream. [...]

Charleston Corporate Charter Fishing – by Capt. Stephen Fields

I had the opportunity to go out with a friend of mine who invited some of his clients along for a day of fishing.  Well, it looks like he brought the cold and wind with him.  With a little patience, we battled through the wind and waves.  The wind finally died down a little and [...]

Inshore Success in Charleston – by Capt. Stephen Fields

It was a perfect day. The wind had died down, it was warm, sunny…..What more could we ask for. Some Redfish!  We pulled up to the first spot and the reds were schooled up nicely. As I poled down the bank we picked off red after red on mud minnows and artificials. They were chewing. [...]

Fishing in Folly Beach – by Capt Stephen Fields

Had a great day on the Folly River with Adam and his two sons from Michigan.  After pulling up to a few spots with limited action and a few spots already taken, we targeted docks for most of the day. Glad we did. We were using cracked blue crab and almost everytime the bait would [...]

Fishing in Charleston – by Capt. Geoff Bennett

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 [...]

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 [...]

First Time Fishing – by Capt. Geoff Bennett

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 [...]

Folly Beach Fishing – by Capt. Geoff Bennett

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 [...]
