Meet Our Captains
Experienced guides dedicated to making your fishing adventure unforgettable.
Captain Kevin Stone
Captain Kevin Stone has been a dedicated saltwater angler for as long as he can remember. His passion began on the rocky coast of Maine, where he spent countless hours fly fishing for striped bass. In 2007, he took his love for fishing to the next level and became a full-time guide in Alaska, spending two seasons putting clients on world-class fish before returning to guide in his home waters of Maine.
In 2020, Kevin and his family relocated to Summerville, South Carolina, where he could fish year-round and fully commit to the life he loves—getting folks out on the water, chasing fish, and creating lasting memories with every trip.
Captain Bob Ullerich
Captain Bob brings decades of fishing experience, from the West coast to the waters of South Carolina. He spends his days offshore on the blue water, hunting down big reef fish like grouper, cobia, and snappers and trolling for pelagics.
With his unmatched energy, deep knowledge, and passion for the sport, Bob makes every trip memorable—and it's no wonder everyone loves fishing with him and fish fear him!

Our Services
From offshore adventures to family-friendly inshore trips, we have something for every angler.
Shark Trip
Shark fishing for giant sharks and bottom fish off shore
Experience a true offshore adventure targeting some of the ocean's biggest predators. We run 10–20 miles offshore in pursuit of bull sharks, tiger sharks, lemon sharks, and hammerheads. Using heavy-duty tackle and large baits, these trips are designed specifically for anglers looking to battle a giant. While sharks are the top priority, we can also bottom fish for other species while waiting for a bite. We accommodate up to 6 anglers, but fish only 4 rods at a time to reduce tangles and maximize efficiency.
Bottom Fishing
Bottom fishing 15 miles off shore
Bottom fishing—or grocery shopping, as we like to call it—is perfect for anglers looking to bring home fresh fillets. These trips focus on filling the cooler with quality fish. We target species such as vermilion snapper, porgies, black sea bass, grouper, triggerfish, and cobia. Trips are weather dependent to ensure safety and the best fishing possible.
Bottom Fishing (Extended)
Bottom fishing 30 miles offshore
Extended bottom fishing trip going further offshore for even better fishing opportunities. Same great species targeting with more time on the water.
Trolling
Trolling for pelagics, mahi, wahoo, sailfish
Enjoy a true offshore fishing experience targeting fast-moving pelagic species that roam our waters. We pursue mahi mahi, wahoo, king mackerel, sailfish, and other offshore favorites using proven trolling techniques. Trolling is limited to 4 anglers to ensure plenty of action and a quality experience for everyone on board.
Inshore
Reds, flounder, trout, oh my!
These are great family adventures to target fish that thrive in and around Charleston Harbor. Trips can be tailored to fit what you are looking for. Up to 6 anglers.
Harbor Cruise
Tour around Charleston Harbor
Sit back and take it all in! Let one of our experienced captains take you on a leisurely boat ride to see historical sites such as the USS Yorktown aircraft carrier, Fort Sumter, and Castle Pinckney. We often see dolphins, osprey, and other great wildlife along the trip.
Freshwater
Catfish and bass beware!
Target catfish and bass in our local freshwater spots. Great for anglers looking for a different fishing experience.
Gigging
Summertime gigging for flounder, sheepshead, and redfish
Ready for some night time adventures? Gigging is a popular choice for 2 people to get out and see all the life in our marshes. The boat is outfitted with the best lights and custom gigs. We look for flounder mainly but any legal species can be harvested. Tide dependent.
Fuel Surcharge
Due to the high cost of fuel at the docks, most trips are subject to a fuel surcharge. The captain will go over this before leaving the dock so there are no unexpected surprises. A typical 15 mile offshore trip burns 30-50 gallons of fuel and a 40 mile trolling trip will burn 150 gallons.
