Tarpon are one of the most prized saltwater game fish, known for their large size, impressive power, and the challenge they present to anglers. Once hooked, tarpon display acrobatic leaps and prolonged runs, making them a favorite for experienced anglers. Tarpon thrive in environments with varying levels of salinity, and are among the most adaptable saltwater gamefish species. They possess a vestigial air lung which allows them to breathe air by gulping at the surface, a trait inherited from their prehistoric ancestors. This breathing, also known as “rolling,” helps watchful anglers to locate schools or individual tarpon. This article is designed to give you all the skills and knowledge you need to target these incredible fish, and to introduce you to the best guides in South Carolina who can help you on your next tarpon fishing adventure.

Sunglasses aren't just an accessory. They're a critical piece of gear for anglers. When sight fishing, the importance of being able to spot fish amidst underwater structure is paramount. That’s where polarized lenses become essential. Not only do sunglasses offer invaluable eye protection when out on the water all day — UV rays beating down, hooks swinging all around — but they enhance the whole of your fishing experience by leveling up your eyesight. Shaded view, reduced glare, and the ability to discern deeper underwater take your sight fishing to the next level. There’s a reason our guides come prepared with sunglasses — often multiple pairs — and here we’ll explain why.

Here at AnyCreek, we’re hellbent on streamlining and improving our product — and the overall process of searching for and securing a guided experience. We saw that guides’ greatest strengths — understanding the outdoors through consistent time afield — also present a major weakness when it comes to efficiently running a business. Booking trips can’t happen when guides are beyond the reach of cell service, but that’s exactly where they need to be to take you on your next great adventure. When they’re not outdoors scouting out your world-class experience, they’ve got to prepare for the next trip — and that’s far easier said than done. With all the hard work guides put into making your trips memorable, we here at AnyCreek thought we’d lighten their load to help get your next adventure underway as smoothly and quickly as possible.
