It was just me and my 3-year-old daughter, and this was her first time fishing from a boat. Parker was absolutely great with her—very patient, encouraging, and helped her reel in some great fish. She had the time of her life, which made the trip that much more memorable for me.

I couldn’t recommend Palm State Fishing enough to anyone looking for a great charter in the Edisto area. Whether you’re serious about getting on some big reds or just want to catch fish and have a great time with your family or kids, you’ll be in good hands with Parker. We’ll definitely be back!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We have used a couple Edisto charters and fished Edisto ourselves a number of times. With those comparisons, Parker exceeded our expectations. He worked with the tides and even navigated some pretty tough winds, and still put us on fish. Plus, his boat is incredible and could easily accommodate my four daughters and they all came back ready to do it again. Parker takes his charter seriously, but he's also easy going.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Palm State fishing is the best. I drove down from Pennsylvania to fish with Parker today, after fishing with him in April. Parker is a great guy and very knowledgeable about fishing. He is very personable and a smart guy. I caught some big red fish today and it was incredible. I highly recommend Palm State fishing and will fish with him again!
