The old adage states, “A bad day of fishing is better than a good day at work.” This adage rang true for us. Although we didn’t catch any fish, it wasn’t because the captain didn’t try. He moved us to several locations, attempted to use multiple types of bait, and changed the rigging on poles in an attempt to get the fish to bite. He worked hard, and we really appreciated his efforts. Additionally, he shared knowledge of the area with us and he was a pleasant conversationalist.
Although we didn’t catch fish, we still had fun! The scenery was beautiful, and we saw several dolphins. It was a great family experience, and I would definitely recommend this trip to my family and friends.

When we first arrived at the Folly Beach dock for two hours of shark fishing, I will admit to being a little underwhelmed by the boat that Captain Dustin brought for this trip.  During the course of our two-plus hours on the water, however, I came to understand that the boat was perfectly outfitted for this type of trip.  We fished an area near the lighthouse and Dustin kept us entertained and informed, even when the fish weren’t biting.  Dustin definitely knows his way around the area and moved the boat appropriately to take advantage of the changing tide.  It was clear to me that his 2 hour shark fishing trips are usually more “productive” than ours was (possibly due to excessive heat), but each of my sons ended up catching (and releasing) a nice bonnet.  Dustin made sure we stayed busy by having the boys cast for trout while we waited for sharks to find their bait on the other side of the boat.  Dustin even gave us a few extra minutes on the water while I tried my luck.  Overall, both boys were able to land nice-sized bonnets that provided just the right amount of challenge to make for a great day of fishing.  We’ll certainly give Atlantic Breeze a call the next time we are looking for a fishing charter.  Thanks again, Dustin!

Dustin worked hard to get us in the fish. We only had a limited time in bad conditions to fish before we left and headed back home. He taught us alot about tide fishing and explained how to do it. He worked with my daughter well while she was fishing with my son and I.She doesn’t fish often and she enjoyed trip. We are looking forward to coming back to try again when we are in this area. Maybe we will have more time to plan a trip on a better non-rainy evening. Thanks to him for taking us out to try when he didn’t have to.

Had a great time and got on fish on the shark trip. The captain was great with kids and told us the history of the area as we were fishing.
