LoCo Fly Charters, Hilton Head
Fly-fishing and light-tackle trips for one or two anglers with Captain Mark Nutting, sight-fishing redfish on the flats.
- Captain: Mark Nutting
- Boat: 17-foot Maverick HPX-S, 6-inch draft
- Group: 1 or 2 anglers
- Trips: 4, 6 or 8 hours
- Launch: Pinckney Island boat landing
LoCo Fly Charters is the island's fly-fishing specialist. Captain Mark Nutting poles a 17-foot Maverick HPX-S that draws six inches of water, so he can sight-fish redfish and trout in marsh and flats water that a bigger boat can't reach. Anglers say he coaches casting and keeps fishing in all kinds of conditions. The boat takes a maximum of two anglers, and trips are catch and release.

Half day: 4 hours.
Three-quarter day: 6 hours.
Full day: 8 hours, offered in summer and fall.

Launch Point
Trips launch from the Pinckney Island boat landing rather than a marina; the captain confirms the meeting point when you book. The park itself is covered on our Pinckney Island page.
