Beautiful day with uncertainty of catching anything. Made our way up a small shallow creek. Our Captain Tim found them low tide amongst the fallen trees. Caught about 12 Redfish in short order. Some decent size. Great start to a great day.
Great trip with Cast Away Charters. He was ready to go when we arrived and he put us right on the fish. We caught reds, black drum, speckled trout, sheepshead, flounder and bluefish. Couldn't ask for a better experience.
Amazing experience for my son and 2 grandsons visiting from Philadelphia. Tim was great with the boys (ages 6 & 10) and they haven’t stopped talking about it all day!! Caught lots of fish and as an added bonus saw many dolphins as well!! Highly recommend… 🤩 🎣
Capt. Tim took my wife and I out for a fantastic half day. They say it's called "fishing" not "catching" for a reason. Well, Tim should call his company Cast Away Catching Charters because my birthday fishing trip was full of redfish, filleted and seasoned later in Paul Prudhomme's redfish seasoning and served with a nice, cold beer. A great day, and we both caught a great meal too!
What a great company. Me and my wife celebrated our anniversary on the beautiful waters of Beaufort and the bonus we caught some fish and my wife caught the biggest fish. So I have to redeem myself and so we will be back. Thank you for so much for a wonderful loving day.
The Cast Away Charters team were all very organized and made the charter a breeze. We had two young kids with us. They planned a wonderful, productive morning that made everyone happy. We would definitely book again!
