10/10 Experience shark fishing with Captain Dave aboard the Finatic out of the Shelter Cove Marina…read more This was our second time out with Dave and we had another great time! Our group consisted of 11 family members, all over 21, and two disabled. Dave has been so welcoming to our crazy family and helped us catch an 80lb fine toothed shark this time. He said it was the biggest for the boat this year! I really can't recommend Dave and the Finatic any more highly, it's a great excursion with tons of dolphin sightings too!

We had a fun time, saw some dolphins too and as far as I could tell everyone caught a few fish! We got to keep our croaker and whiting to eat at home, the others we tossed back. You may get sick. There's medicine on board and the crew is super attentive with cold wet towels, which is super revitalizing believe it or not. The crew is moving nonstop to help everyone but they're always chill and patient.

I think this might have been my first fishing expedition and I would do it again. I suggest getting there early enough to get situated. What I didn't know was you could bring backpacks and flexible coolers which are stored inside the boat area. Most people brought sandwiches and snacks for the journey. They also have a concession stand inside which serves food, snacks, soft drinks and beer. The prices are reasonable. Even the $85 for the 5.5 hour excursion seemed very reasonable as well. They provide all the equipment and bait. You just need to bring your skills or possibly patience. The crew helps to show you how to fish and takes care of anything you may catch and want to bring back. They do the fileting as well as packing of the fish. For my group, we just wanted to hang out and enjoy the open seas. Most of us caught something, but nothing worth keeping. All catch and release. We start out going through the tributaries towards Calibogue Sound towards Daufuskie Island. There are some artificial reefs we were able to anchor near. The Captain knows where most of the fish are. Some folks on our excursion caught some decent size fish which they were keeping. I caught a Croaker, but tossed it back. A family with small children had some sea sickness so it's important to bring Dramamine or buy some on the ship. My take it--- if you're a first time or casual fisherman, this is for you. if you're more of a professional, get a charter.

Epic experience with LoCo FlyCharters today. I booked a full day guided trip with Mark Nutting and…read morethis was my first saltwater fly trip. I have been on guided trips for trout in Montana, Colorado, North Carolina and have fished all over the country solo. Coming from a freshwater background, Mark spent the first few hours of the trip teaching me new principles and changing my cast. I learned to double haul and before I knew it, we were on fish. Mark clearly knows the low country backwaters around Savannah, Beaufort and Hilton Head like an experienced local pro, because he is just that...a damn good fisherman. Our first spot was a honey hole, with redfish tailing everywhere. We smoked cigars, caught some nice red fish and spent a beautiful and hot day on the water. I highly recommend anyone coming to the area to book with Mark at LoCo.

I found recommendations for Native Son Adventures on a Facebook group, looked at what they had to offer, and decided to call and check availability. We ended up not scheduling a full day on the water, but scheduled a morning tour and an evening tour. The morning tour included shark tooth hunting (the kids found 3!), fishing, (we caught 2 sharks), dolphin sightings, and cruising around the area. Our evening tour included a visit to shell island, some more fishing (we caught another shark), and a sunset cruise, and a stop to watch the fireworks. Both tours were on a tiki boat that had couch seating for 6 and bar seating for 6, so our family of 5 had plenty of space to move around and stretch out and relax. We were all very happy with the time we spent with Captain Will and Captain Byron. Both Captains made our tours a memorable experience for our family.

Matt knew exactly where to go to put us on fish. If you an expert fisherman you'll have a wonderful time as well as the beginner. One of our crew was a young 12 and he had some much fun. Matt was great with everyone in our group. His boat was brand new and so clean. There was plenty of room for us all. We really enjoyed being out on the water around HHI. Could have stayed out all day. If you're going to HHI or Bluffton, you should definitely book a trip with Southern Roots Fishing Charters. You won't be disappointed.

We'll definitely rent from them again. Also, eating lunch after a 2 hour kayak trip at the Old Oyster Factory is hard to beat!
