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!!

Fly Fishing Hilton Head

Yesterday was one of those days ya just don’t know what the hell is about to happen. We had some tarpon to start the morning off, but the fish would not stay in one place to well. They would roll up and then be on the other side of the basin. I would work my way there and they would be at another area. F$#^ers. Off to some reds. The wind clouds and rain were making the low tide a bit tough but we did manage a red and a trout that was in 8″ of water. We decided to get out of the rain and get some lunch than bust’m up in the grass. Bust’m up we did, there were armies of reds marching in with the tide. The Teeing off began. Branden and his son Austin started to get into some fun!!

Fly Fishing Hilton Head

Damn fish were all over us, here are 2 of the 5 fish we nailed in the grass Yesterday. Sometimes you have to much of a good thing, fish keep popping up all around. Believe it or not it makes it more difficult when ya have to many targets. Been finding some nice tarpon in some cool places the past 2 days, no eats yet maybe tomorrow.
