I have fished with many fly fishing guides over the years and hands down I can say Capt. Bryant is top notch. Despite some picky fish early we were able to turn things around and have one of the best days I’ve had chasing tailing redfish, not to mention a new personal best!
Also Bryant can take some epic fishing photos to make your trip even that much more memorable. Can’t wait to fish with him again next time I’m in the area. Highly recommended

What a truly great day of fishing with Captain Bryant!  My 12 year old son and I spent half a day fishing with Bryant.  He was outstanding to both of us.  My son has only been fishing in the South Carolina rivers once before.  Captain Bryant was very patient with him, showed him some tips on how to cast better, and had him jigging off oyster beds before the day was over.  My son even caught his very first flounder off of one of the oyster beds!  Captain Bryant was very knowledgeable about the waters, the fishing, and the local area.  He was very generous in answering all of my questions!

Captain Bryant worked hard to keep us on specific spots even though we faced a fairly strong wind most of the day.  He made sure we were in the right spots at the right time.

My family will be back in the Charleston area over Labor Day Weekend and my son and I will absolutely spend a day back on the water fishing with Captain Bryant - am looking forward to it!

I’ve gone fishing with Captain Bryant twice now, and as a former charter guide myself, I can’t help but say that he’s got his thumb on the pulse of when and where the bite is happening around Charleston.

Between his local knowledge (he’s from the area) and his web of intel, he pulls out all the stops and puts you on fish.

We fished two opposite ends of Charleston between our two trips. One day he put me on several schools of big jacks, all within perfect fly-casting distance.
We then hit multiple flats, and all the while he was keeping a keen eye on what turned out to be a surprise flood tide.

We bolted over to some tailing waters where, sure enough, there was nobody else in sight because no one else had forecasted the unexpected flood tide, and we had about a dozen fish actively tailing all around us, all to ourselves.

The next day we went out was in a stronger northeasterly, but he had his protected spots all lined up and we were on fish all morning long. We even found a few hungry sharks cruising the shallows, and while we got a couple of takes, somebody (me) blew the hookset.

We found flounder, sizable redfish just about everywhere, and even in a blow, the guy is an expert poler.

He was quick to change gears, kept the boat tidy as can be, and kept me perfectly pointed on fish while poling for hours. What can I say? He does whatever it takes to get the fish in front of you, putting the right cast in is on you.

He always seemed to have another spot lined up if things weren’t working out at one stop, and he knows exactly which spots are working on which tides, as well as all the holes down to a little alcove in an oyster bed or a little depression off a grass line. I don’t know how many times he pointed out a spot, told me to put a fly or lure in there and promised a fish, but more often than not there was one lying in wait precisely where he said one would be.

Some people are fishier than others, and while I’ve spent a good bit of time fishing around Charleston, I never really cracked the code.

Captain Bryant not only put me on tons of fish, he taught me a wealth of information, and gave me a lot more confidence to get out and find fish on my own.

That said, there’s nothing like an expert guide, and I look forward to getting out with him again this winter when the water is clearer and the redfish are schooling up. It’s a less appreciated time of year for the fishery, but it is far and away the time to get down there with a fly rod and land double digits in a day.

Can’t thank you enough, Captain, and I look forward to our next outing!

P.S.—Capt. Bryant is also a former professional photographer, which is always appreciated when it comes time for a photo op!

All American!!! Can’t explain how unbelievable an experience captain Bryant facilitated! Captain Bryant clearly knows the area and the fishery that only a fisherman with years of experience could which was evident by the amount of redfish we saw in numerous different fishing situations he put me in. We caught many redfish and saw many many more. More importantly for anyone considering using captain Bryant he is just as or more of a humble respectful and gentle person as a human being could be, the kind of person I’d be proud to have as a friend. I highly recommend him, as I would to any of my own family members. Job well done captain Bryant!

We battled the wind and clouds that were making sight fishing challenging and had a wonderful time. Captain Bryant openly shared his skills and definitely helped me improve my saltwater sight fishing.
