A Better Fishing Experience

Guiding & Teaching Since 2008

What 'local expertise' actually means:

We know where to find fish during rising/falling tides
We understand how water temperature impacts fish behavior
On windy days, we know where to find fishable water

While we can't guarantee when the fish will eat, we can guarantee you'll have a great day on the water while becoming a better saltwater angler.

Hear From Our Guests

You're in good hands

When it comes to saltwater fly fishing, there are several factors that go into the catch. We optimize locations based on fish presence, wind, tides, sun, and angler preferences. Approaching the fish undetected and delivering the perfect cast can be difficult, but we'll give you the tips and tricks you need to catch your new PB.

A Trip Built Just For You

We tailor every trip to the preferences and skill level of the angler(s)

If You're Local to Charleston

This is your chance to improve as a saltwater angler with a local, experienced professional. When you book with us, you'll leave with a better cast, a better understanding of the tides, and a great story to tell.

If You're Just Visiting

You've got limited time and want it to count. We'll pick you up at your hotel, maximize every hour on the water, and make sure you leave with both fish photos AND the knowledge to fish saltwater flats anywhere.

Why Cheap Charters Cost You More

Cheaper Isn't Always Better

We understand that there are cheaper options. Here's what that saves you:

A captain who doesn't know where the fish are holding on a falling tide
Gear that breaks mid-trip
Spray and pray, blind casting
If the weather turns, your deposit is gone

We Provide A Higher Quality Product

Our trips cost more than the average charter because you're getting more than just a boat rental. You can expect professional-quality gear, 17 years of local expertise, penalty-free rescheduling for inclement weather, and you'll leave a better saltwater angler.

Meet Your Guide

Capt. Adam Lawson

Adam has been guiding and teaching the art of fly fishing since 2008 and has been very fortunate to have done so in beautiful areas such as Colorado, New Mexico, Alaska, Montana, Florida, Tennessee, the Bahamas and South Carolina.

Growing up in Knoxville, TN was the perfect playground for a young angler. Surrounded by lakes and rivers and being in the shadow of the Great Smoky Mountains, it was easy to find a bass or trout to help gain the knowledge that has elevated his journey.

After guiding for trout out in the Rocky Mountains and Alaska for over a decade, Adam began to pine for the salty fish and the flats that they inhabit. While he is still passionate about trout fishing, it’s the opportunity to sight fish for a variety of species that love to eat flies and fight like there’s no tomorrow that he lives for!

Adam, his beautiful wife Kass and son Jesse are grateful to call Charleston home. He loves taking new and old clients out fishing in the lowcountry and showing them the beautiful landscape that surrounds us, as well as the fish that occupy it. When he’s not guiding, he is tying flies, playing with his dog Brew, and hosting trips to exotic locations around the world.

Can I keep what I catch?

The short answer is Yes however I do not prefer to harvest any Redfish. They are a very important resource that needs to be protected for future generations. You can keep any fish as long as they're of legal size but let your guide know beforehand.
