Top-Notch Techniques

On our trips, we use a mix of tried-and-true techniques to put you on the fish. Depending on the conditions, we might be trolling with downriggers to hit those deep-water stripers, or we could be casting live bait around structure. Captain Rick's always got a few tricks up his sleeve, like using planer boards to cover more water or jigging over schools we spot on the fish finder. He'll walk you through each method, showing you how to work the gear and read the signs that say "fish on!" By the end of the trip, you'll have picked up some solid skills to use on your next fishing adventure.

Species You'll Want to Hook

Striped Bass are the crown jewels of South Carolina's lakes, and for good reason. These hard-fighting fish can grow to impressive sizes, with 20-pounders not uncommon and the potential for even bigger catches. Stripers are known for their powerful runs and acrobatic jumps, making them a blast to catch on both light and heavy tackle. They're schooling fish, so when you find them, the action can be non-stop. Spring and fall are prime times to target these beauties, but with Captain Rick's know-how, you can hook into them year-round. The best part? Stripers are delicious, so if you decide to keep your catch, you're in for a real treat at dinner.

Captain Rick's got a knack for putting people on fish, sure, but it's his easygoing nature and wealth of local knowledge that really make the trip. He'll have you laughing at lake lore one minute and cheering over a bent rod the next. Plus, our setup is top-notch. We use quality gear that's well-maintained, so you can focus on the fishing, not fiddling with faulty equipment.
