Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

- uspsdougLodge, SC181 contributionsToday was our first day going out with Captain Herring and I must say, it was an exceptional experience. Let me explain, 2 adults, a 16 year old, a 12 year old and a 10 year old. As you can imagine, it was a busy crew and Captain Herring was the most patient, kind, caring and helpful in every way possible. Fishing conditions were less than stellar (high winds and cool water) and in spite of that we caught fish and had a blast! If you are looking for a fun experience, Captain Herring is the way to go. I was watching him explain a reel to my nephew and he took his time and was so helpful. Later, my 12 year old had a tangled line and Captain Herring showed empathy explaining that the same thing had happened to him many times and showed him how to fix it. I was so impressed and so thankful for an impeccable experience.
This was our first trip out, but certainly wont be our last!!!Written 8 March 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

He was remarkably knowledgeable about the history of the area and knew so much about the currents and unique nature of the waters around the islands! Great personality. Definitely book with him!Written 23 October 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- MarkB212New York, New York20 contributionsCapt. Phillip was a pleasure--in helping us plan our tour and giving us a wonderful three hours on the waters around the ACE Basin. We saw plenty of wildlife (eagles, alligators, dolphins, osprey and many other birds) but being on the water with Capt. Phillips as a guide was terrific on its own. I hope we can do a tour with him again sometime.Written 19 May 2021This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Dave LLas Vegas45 contributionsCapt Cliff offers a three hour tour (cue Gilligan's island music) that takes you to the mouth of the Edisto where he trawls the bottom.
When I went it was just my wife and I, so Capt. Cliff let me run the wench to swing the boom on the trawl net.
In the three hours we dropped the net three times, and brought up Shrimp (roe and rock), hundreds of sea stars, horseshoe crabs, sea robins, jelly balls, squid, permit, spotted flounder, fluke, whiting and sea cucumbers.
Capt Cliff made sure that the catch was laid out on a mat and kept alive so that it could be thrown back alive after giving us a chance to look it over.
The spot he trawls, at the mouth of the South Edisto is a perfect spot to take in the areas natural beauty; St. Helena Sound, Otter Island, Edisto Island.
If you are looking for a unique way to spend three hours that will stay with you for a long time, I highly recommend this tour.Written 7 May 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

We all saved money and had a great time. We fished a couple of days before the eclipse and the tides were irregular. Fishing was tough nobody was catching but we eventually ended up with several whiting. Captain was knowledgeable and fun. A good value and a fun tripWritten 16 August 2017This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
