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!!

Dang it’s hot

I swore last winter I was never going to complain about the heat again if it only warmed up. Well,I’m trying not to complain but wow has it been hot. The reds have been good at first light and the beach fronts have been loaded with spanish, kings, lady fish and tarpon. If ya want to get away from boats seems all ya have to do is run to the ocean and catch plenty of light tackle fun with no boats. With most anglers focusing on reds they are missing a good bit of fun. We have

been finding some nice tripl tail in a new spot with reds so that’s been kinda fun while poling.

Summer Heat

Fishing has been good, been chasing plenty of reds around, the beach’s have been stacked w/ some nice spanish and lady fish. There have been some triple tail showing themselves around the Wassaw area as well. I have still not heard much from the trout scene, only time will help get these fish back up and going. If people can release more of the larger trout we could see this time shortened a good bit. There should be some jacks showing up, I have done a bit of looking and havn’t seen to much, tomorrow I’ll ive it a bit more time and see what happens.
