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 and Savannah

We’ve been having some fun playing with the reds in the grass. Â What a great time of the year to fish. Â Anyone interested in spin fishing I have some really cool areas that are tailored made for light tackle, ya can fly fish this area , but it’s technical casting. Â This area is untouched and really alive with fish and wildlife.

Here are a couple post Hurricane Mathew, Â the fish seemed a bit grumpy, but if you had the cast where it needed to be they would eat. Â Seems as though they are starting to settle back down. Â Hopefully the ocean lay down and maybe get some alibi fishing in. Â Who knows ? Â The clean up continues, and let’s all pray we don’t have another storm that rocks our world.
