Tidal Waters Guide Service offers professional fly fishing and light tackle charters from Charleston to North Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, led by full-time guide Captain Conner Bryant. Conner grew up in North Myrtle Beach fishing the Waccamaw River, local marshes, and the Intracoastal Waterway, building a deep understanding of tides, shallow water, and coastal fish behavior. After serving in the U.S. Coast Guard and working in Conservation Law Enforcement, he started Tidal Waters to share the water he loves.

Trips cover grass flats, oyster bars, tidal creeks, and open bays stretching from Folly Beach, Kiawah Island, and McClellanville up through Winyah Bay, the Waccamaw River, and North Myrtle Beach. Summer brings bonnethead, blacktip, and spinner shark fly fishing along the beaches, plus migrating tarpon, while spring and fall produce consistent redfish on the flats. Freshwater fly fishing trips for largemouth bass, bream, and bowfin are also available when conditions line up. Every charter is built around tides, water clarity, and seasonal fish movement.

Trips run aboard a Hells Bay Guide skiff, built to handle open water while floating silently in super shallow water, comfortably fishing up to three anglers with plenty of storage for gear. Rates run $500 for a 4-hour half-day charter, $700 for the most popular 6-hour trip, or $950 for a full 8-hour day, all priced for up to 2 anglers with a $100 add-on for a third.

Guest reviews consistently praise Captain Conner’s patience, local knowledge, and ability to put anglers into skinny water on fish, describing him as knowledgeable, dedicated, and great company for a full day on the water.

For anglers looking for a full-time, Coast Guard-veteran fly fishing guide anywhere from Charleston to North Myrtle Beach, Tidal Waters Guide Service offers a highly reviewed, tide-focused operation with Captain Conner Bryant.
