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!!

Hilton Head, Savannah Fly fishing

Austins first red on fly!!

Now that the cobia gig has slowed it’s back to the red full on till the tarpon start showing themselves a bit more. The reds have not let us down. In the past week I couldn’t tell ya how many have been caught on fly. Tailing at hig and low water. The bait is in place on the flats and the red have been taking full advantage off it. Jacks should show themselves, gonna give the a peek tomorrow and see. Stay tuned.

Timmy !!! Hardy, Teaching reds to stay away from bait.

TARPON!!!

The tarpon are here and ready to be caught, just need the ocean to lay a bit. Had a few around the boat the other day, but things were a bit rough and we decided to pull off the fish.
