My son, husband, and father-in-law had a fantastic time today with Captain Cody and his brother. They aimed to catch a shark, and they succeeded! Thank you!!

I've been on many charter boat trips over the years and rarely leave reviews. I usually go in with modest expectations, hoping for a good day on the water regardless of the fish. Corey was the perfect mix of expertise, personality, and dedication. From the start, we were catching fish, and he kept us on them all day. With an excellent personality and being great company, Corey made the experience exceptional. I'll definitely be back and it’s not just about the fish—it's about having a fantastic time with someone committed to ensuring a great day on the water.

We had a fantastic time on our fishing trip with Captain Cody! He made our entire family feel welcome and at ease. After a slow start, the fish started biting, and we ended up catching a shark and a large Black Sea Bass, which is rare for this area. We’ll definitely be back!

Captain Cody was an outstanding captain. He put us on some massive fish and shared a wealth of useful knowledge along the way. I highly recommend booking this charter if you're after top predators! Be prepared for an intense battle with a big catch, or be prepared to be worn out yourself. Thanks again, Captain! I’m looking forward to our future trips.

Captain Cody is not just an excellent angler and waterman, but also a friendly and personable guy who made us feel completely at home on the water. We caught numerous huge Red Drum and had an amazing time. Highly recommended!

Captain Cody is top notch! Very knowledgeable of the area. Professional and works hard to get you on the fish. Will definitely be booking with him in the future. We had a great 6 hour trip

We had a first-rate trip with an experienced captain. The boat and fishing equipment were brand new, and the fresh bait was in excellent condition. We had a lot of fun catching new species of fish that we hadn't seen before. An exciting trip with plenty of interest in the baits on every cast. I could have easily fished all day! This fishing excursion comes highly recommended. Cody is an excellent fishing guide, providing assistance, hints, and tips as needed and consistently putting you on the fish.

Would highly recommend! He was excellent working with 3 boys age 9 and 2 moms. He taught the boys new fishing techniques. He was very patient and kind when helping them learn new skills.

Top Predator Adventures is highly recommended for your fishing trip. We had questions because it was our first time. Cody was patient and answered all of them. We had to reschedule our trip once due to illness, but it was a simple process. Cody arrived early, so we were on the boat and on our way even before our scheduled departure time. We caught several different types of fish and spent some time looking for shark's teeth on two beaches accessible only by boat (we found three, and Cody found five or six, which he graciously gave us as souvenirs).

Please book this charter if you want to go out and fight some big fish. We went on a four-hour morning trip with Captain Cody and could not have been happier. He hooked us up with three bull reds and two large sharks, among many other fish. Cody is an entertaining Captain who is also very knowledgeable. We also didn't waste time sitting around waiting for bait. We almost immediately went to our first drop in after getting on the boat, and the action was immediate. Whether you are a novice looking to try fishing for the first time or an experienced angler, you will find value here. I could not recommend this charter more highly.

My son and I had a great time fishing for his 16th birthday. Captain Cody was awesome! A few days before the trip he sent us a message letting us know that the fishing was better a few miles up the coast and that worked for us. It was just my son and I for the whole 4 hours and we got lots of 1:1 instruction from Captain Cody. The first couple spots we went to, we didn't catch any fish, but we kept trying until we found where the fish were biting. My son caught the biggest fish he has ever caught... it was actually too big to keep! We were able to bring some fish home also and Captain Cody filleted it for us. Overall great trip! Would definitely recommend!

I recently had the pleasure of going on a fishing trip with Top Predator Adventures, and it was an absolute blast! Capt. Cody was an amazing guide who was both friendly and professional. He made sure we were comfortable and well-informed throughout the entire trip.


Cody's expertise and knowledge of the local waters were truly impressive. He kept us on the fish all day long, and we ended up catching a total of 70 fish! It was a truly unforgettable experience.


I highly recommend Top Predator Adventures to anyone looking for a fun and exciting fishing trip. Capt. Cody's exceptional customer service and dedication to providing a memorable experience make him the best choice for your next fishing adventure.

Took the Family on a half-day fish and had a blast. Was catching fish right away. All four of us caught an unknown number of fish.  We couldn't keep count. This was the first experience with all of us together. Having Cody as the captain with Top Predator  was great! He could teach and assist the kids while the wife and I continued reeling them in. Reds,specs, Black Drum and the fiesta Sheepshead were all biting! What a fun experience! Everyone is ready to go back!

I have taken a lot of charter boat trips over the years. Honestly, I very rarely review them. Typically I go in with minimal expectations and just hope to have a good day on the water regardless, if the fish cooperate. Corey was the perfect balance of knowledge, personality And exceptional willingness to do whatever it took to put us on the fish. We were on the fish from the word go, and he kept us on them all day. Excellent personality and a great guy to hang out with. Would come back repeatedly. I’ll be fishing with him again soon  And I didn’t want to make a statement, it’s not the fish that would keep us coming back. It’s a good guy willing to do whatever it takes to make sure you have a great day on the water.

Captain Cody put us on BIG sharks right away. We caught over 10 huge, 5 foot lemon sharks, had a 6+ footer break my line at the boat, 100-120 pounders. Action was pretty non-stop all day. We moved locations and the 2nd are produced too with an additional 8-10 sharks.  My daughter was thrilled to catch a hammerhead, black tip, dusky and Lemon shark all in one day. Cody will put you on the fish!! He was also awesome with my daughter helping her heft 100 pounders off the bottom. She enjoyed seeing the pelicans and dolphins in the harbor. I cannot recommend Cody enough. He was informative, fun to talk to, and knows where the fish live!

From the inland waterways to the petties. Knowledgable, very friendly and passionate about fishing! Great communication leading up to the charter. We had one bite all day. Can't fault the cap for not trying we saw all of the Harbour, out to the petties, and maybe not all, but alot of tidal creeaks and rivers. I will return!

We asked Captain Cody to take us on a shark adventure...he did not disappoint!  From the moment we cast the first line until the end of our 4 hour trip, we were reeling in sharks.  Big, small and various species (Atlantic Sharpnose, Lemon, Dusky, a stingray and even a Hammerhead!)  Captain Cody was very knowledgeable, helpful and personable.  Booking was fast and easy and his communication was fantastic.  I'd highly recommend booking with Top Predator, a name well-suited!

My son and I have been on many trips and this day was really amazing. Some stuff is luck and totally out of our control. He found Spanish mackerel in the morning, mixed in some trout and Black Sea bass, several large sharks and my son got two monster Red Bulls over 30 lbs. we couldn’t have had a better day. Captain Cody is the perfect blend of get after it and relaxed. He was also very patient and welll tempered. I would recommend Cody to anyone who wants to catch some fish.

Cody was amazing from the second we booked.  He contacted me and made sure to answer any questions I had and accommodate any needs.  On the water he was professional,  helpful,  sociable, and great at what he does. When we go back to Charleston there is no doubt we will be going back on the water with him.

If you’re looking for good company AND the best fishing, look no further. Captain Cody is the best in the business. He will put you on fish and is great with beginners. Can’t imagine any other guides better than Cody. Highly recommend him for anyone looking for a good time and experienced guide.

Brought my son for some shark fishing, we were worried since it was the beginning of the season they wouldn't be active.

Cody took us right where the action was and we were on within 30 minutes. Thank you Captain Cody for an experience we'll never forget!
