Skylar was very attentive. He made sure everyone had what they needed. Even when we weren't actively reeling in fish, we were enjoying the beautiful surroundings. Captain Skylar has a great knowledge of the area's past and plans for building the future. A good time, on a very nice boat, with a great fishing guide!

I had booked a charter with Captain Willie but unfortunately last minute I was unable to go, but my daughter and daughters bf were able to, they told me they had a blast and Captain Wilhite put them on fish immediately and my daughter caught a large Jack, the smile in the picture she sent me I will never forget. Thank you Captain for taking care of my family and making fantastic memories, can’t wait to go fishing with you some time.

Skylar was wonderful! He was super friendly, knew his fishing, super clean nice boat that provided shade, plenty of room and sun if you wanted it. My kids that are teens 16 and 18 had so much fun. We caught are limit of 20 the kids caught 17 of those, lol! He provided drinks and music as well. The location was perfect to meet and easy to find. He even made suggestions on where to take the fish if we wanted to have it cooked for dinner, which we did and they did fantastic. We really enjoyed this family fishing trip. He assisted and did so much to make this enjoyable for all of us. Thank you! We will definitely book again with him.

We had an incredible experience with Capt. Capt. Skylar Wilhite. From the moment we arrived, the Captain was welcoming, organized, and clearly knew the best fishing spots. The captain was professional yet friendly, making sure everyone felt comfortable, whether it was their first time fishing or they were experienced anglers. We caught plenty of fish, including a few big ones that made the trip especially exciting. The boat was clean, well-maintained, and had plenty of shade and seating, which made the day comfortable. The captain also provided all the bait, tackle, and guidance we needed, and they even cleaned and bagged our catch to take home. If you’re looking for a fun, relaxing, and successful fishing trip, I highly recommend booking with South Water Charters /Capt. Skylar Wilhite. It’s a perfect way to spend a day on the water, and we’ll definitely be back.
