4 Hour Trip – Inshore Fishing (PM)
We had a great time with Captain Jesse. We booked an afternoon trip for my 10-year-old son, my wife and me, we are not the most experienced anglers, but Captain Jesse was very helpful and patient with us. The weather was windy and had turned colder but he did a great job getting us on some fish. My son absolutely loved the trip and has told me next time we are in Charleston we have to go fishing with Captain Jesse again.

5 Hour Trip – Inshore Fishing (PM)
We had a great trip despite a 48degree morning start and 16mph sustained winds and higher gusts. Captain knew where to go and got us fishing and catching red drum. I recommend tight lines even in the worst conditions you’ll be taken care of.
