April 30, 2025Had a blast hunting trophy browns with my man Lucas. we took a calculated risk and it paid off. Big Browns chasing streamers in crystal clear water. Got to see over 30 fish of trophy size chase my fly, most didn't commit but went 2 for 2 on the ones that did. My only complaint was that Lucas looked better with my fish than I did
Captain Clinton has the most patience with kids and adults as well. We had 2 adults and 3 kids with only one adult having previous experience. Captain taught us so much and made sure we all caught fish and had a great time. Highly recommend!!! Hands down!!!
I can't thank Marc and Cats on the Rock Guide Service enough for a great fishing trip. He is a great stand up guy. Also I could tell he is willing to accommodate his customers in every way. Men women and children alike. Experienced or new to fishing. Don't hesitate to book a trip and go have fun bending rods!!
I’m 70yrs old and have been fishing all my life, a lot of it in the ocean on lots of different charter boats but Last Cast Charleston, and Chase the captain and his crew were the best! They were fun put us on lots of fish and went over and above what most guys would do,I would highly recommend them if you want to have a great day on the water!
Exceptional experience! My son and I learned a lot, caught some great fish (many more than we expected) and simply had a blast. We will absolutely book with Lucas again. He is friendly, knowledgeable, professional and an asset to the fly-fishing community. I highly recommend Lucas for any prospective client independent of age or experience, if any.
I have fished with “What That Vise Do” (Lucas) multiple times. He got me into my first steelhead, and ever since he has helped me catch many more. I cannot speak highly enough about his professionalism, skill, and teaching abilities. Going fishing with him feels more like fishing with a friend than a guide, and each time I have learned new skills and techniques that have helped me in all of my fishing adventures. He has helped my brothers catch fish, making memories that I surely will not forget. If you want to learn to catch steelhead on a fly rod, or any fish on a fly rod, there’s nobody better. The only problem is you’ll want to book again and again!
