The flats in and around Beaufort County are literally teeming with fly casting and light tackle opportunities. Whether it is sight casting to tailing reds, chasing giant cobia or casting into schools of jacks , ladyfish, Spanish mackerel or trout, the fish are here! With literally hundreds of miles of tide waters and grassy marshes to draw from, fishing possibilities are endless. Methods change on a seasonal basis, and this allows for many different sight fishing scenarios.

A little About South Carolina's Best Fly Fishing Guides!

Capt. Tuck Scott
Capt. Tuck started fishing and shrimping the Beaufort area twenty-eight years ago with his grandfather. He has heavily fished South Carolina's Lowcountry from Charleston to Savannah and has incorporated his fly fishing experience of twenty years to exclusively target saltwater species here in Beaufort, SC. Tuck targets redfish, seatrout, ladyfish, cobia, tarpon, and sheepshead on the fly as well as on light tackle from a 17' Maverick HPX-V. Because of its unmatched excitement, sight fishing is his primary method of targeting most species. Capt. Tuck's Blog, Press about Tuck
