I have been fishing the Georgia and South Carolina Coast for 30 years and guiding full time for 20 plus years. What you will get from me is a quality fishing trip, whether with fly rod or spinning tackle that is always a long time on the water for the rate. My half days run more like 5-6 hours and full days are over 8 hours. 4 hours on a half day just isn't long enough to fish. What you will not get from me is a quick trip to spots 5 minutes away that are fished heavily so can make it back to the dock in time for my next trip. I have guided through out the southeast as well as Alaska and the Bahamas. I have been instrumental in developing shallow water sight casting in Georgia and South Carolina and have been the first to introduce Tarpon fishing on fly rod to South Carolina and Georgia!!

Fishing Savannah, Hilton Head and Beaufort

I have been so preoccupied tarpon fishing I don’t think I had these shots up, Â The trout bite is really started to get good. We have had some cool top water action and the DOA shrimps have been banging their fair share of nice fish. Reds are tailing and popping shrimps at the low water. Â It would be really nice if all this fresh water and abundance of bait would bring some stripers down river. Â We can only hope and pray. Â I will have some more poon shots up soon, stayed tuned.

Poon Action !!!

Check out the seq. of that one tarpon, Â going so nuts he beached himself and then flopped off ! Â When handling these fish try not to take them completely out of the water. Â The fish is stressed to the max already and lifting them out puts more stress on their internals. Â Fish have Neutral buoyancy internal organs so lifting them out of the water can put too much pressure on them and really leave them in a world of hurt.
