Orvis Endorsed Fishing Guides
Our Guides Are Experts at Fly Fishing in the Lowcountry
The Lowcountry offers 365 days a year of sight fishing opportunities – weather dependent of course! The process and choice of gamefish we pursue is impacted by the seasonality of the fishery. December through March is typically low tide fishing on incredibly clear flats for schooled up redfish. April through June we begin to see redfish split out of the large schools and begin tailing on flood tide grass flats. Adding to the excitement, our larger migratory species including cobia, jack crevalle, and tarpon begin to show up. July through September is our hottest time of year shifting our attention to early morning or late evening fishing. Ask any experienced Lowcountry fishermen their favorite time of year to fish, and expect the answer to often be late September through November.
Capt. Shannon O’Quinn
Boat: 17′ Maverick HPX-S
Shannon started fishing as a young child on the Satilla River in Woodbine, Georgia. Exploring the salt and fresh water rivers and lakes of South Georgia with his grandfather, he honed his skills before moving to the South Carolina Low Country in 1999. Since then the concentration has been on inshore salt waters targeting Cobia, Jack Crevalle, Tarpon, Trout and Redfish with sight fishing being his method of choice. He fishes out of a 2019 Maverick HPX-S.
Capt. Zeke Brant
Boat: 18′ Beavertail Mosquito
Captain Zeke grew up fishing the South Carolina coast with his dad and grandfather. He is a Beaufort native who has spent many hours exploring the coastal waters from Edisto South Carolina to middle Georgia. His enthusiasm for the water turned into a passion for fly fishing around the age of 14, when he began to specifically target our local species with sight fishing methods. Since then he has dedicated his time on the water to making sure he has the knowledge and ability to give the client the best shot possible at achieving their objective. His goal is to meet clients’ expectations and help them enjoy our local waters as much as he does. Zeke fishes from a 2017 Beavertail Mosquito.
I’ve returned to fly fish for reds with them a few times and I’ve never been disappointed by the knowledge and expertise of the guides. Tony has put together a solid group of professionals who know the waters and put you on fish. I’d recommend this team for all your Low Country fly fishing experiences!
We booked a fishing trip through Bay Street Outfitters with Captain Tony. Had a great time! Caught some amazing fish. Captain Tony couldn’t have been more helpful.
