The Offshore Fishery of Charleston, S.C.

 Commercial Longline Bottom Fishing boats have done a significant amount of damage to the worlds offshore bottom fisheries. Some governments have taken action to this ecological hazard and prevented longlining in sensitive fisheries.The South Atlantic Marine Fisheries Council, which is under jurisdiction of the National Marine Fisheries, has limited commercial access to our fishery. The result is a fishery that is healthy and plentiful. This is the offshore fishery that we get to charter in.
                                            
 In this fishery there is an abundance of Grouper, Snapper, Large Sea Bass, Amberjacks, Sharks and many other awesome species. In the Gulf Stream we have Marlin, Tuna, Dolphin (Mahi Mahi), and Wahoo . If you are thinking of a place to take a charter our fishery is one of the best in the U.S.

The Inshore Fishery of Charleston S.C.

 One of the benefits of Charleston, SC is that we have an awesome inshore fishery. In the warmer months we can fish the jetties and produce large red drum, sharks, whiting, speckled trout, sheepshead and other surprises. In the cooler months we can fish the creeks for trout and red fish.

The size of our vessel is a bonus for family charters. You can enjoy the comforts of a larger vessel while still fishing the calm inshore waters.

The Bay Area Fishery of Tampa, Fl.

 Captain Rick Reddick is a Tampa Bay native. Fishing with him in these waters will be a rich experience. In the Bay, we have gag grouper, mangrove snapper, snook, tarpon, red fish, trout, sheepshead, cobia, and many other species. You  tell us what you want to catch and we will deliver.

 The nice thing about the Bay is that there is so many options, if the Bay is not your choice, we have nearshore fishing that also provides many of the same species caught in the bay.
