The fishing trip exceeded all expectations. Captain Griffin proved to be an excellent guide, sharing fascinating insights about fishing techniques and the Charleston region. We are already excited to book another trip. Despite challenging weather, the Captain handled everything expertly, making it an amazing day on the water. We highly recommend his services and definitely plan to fish with them again.
Our guide, Andrew, was fantastic and very patient, especially with my 10-year-old. He put in a lot of effort to teach some fishing skills. Although we didn’t catch any fish this time—which was Andrew’s first no-catch day in two years—we still enjoyed seeing fish and getting a few bites. The recent disruptions caused by Hurricane Ian likely affected the usual fishing conditions.
