About
I was born and raised in the country, just outside of Charlottesville, Virginia. At a very young age I developed a passion for the outdoors, particularly in the arts of fly fishing. In high school I achieved the rank of Eagle Scout; and accomplished this, in part, by creating an annual fly fishing camp for folks with various physical and mental disabilities. The camp is still being run over 17 years later. I’ve always been very driven, with a knack for problem solving. I graduated from the University of Tennessee with a degree in Material Science and Engineering. An engineering job moved me South Carolina, where I had my first experience with tailing redfish. Shortly thereafter, I bought myself my first flats boat and left my engineering career to pursue my passion for fly fishing. I’ve worked as a professional guide and charter captain for past five years, running up to 220 charters a year. Over the past decade, I have worked hard, putting in countless hours to unlock some of the secrets the low country’s fisheries have to offer. I absolutely love what I do; and try to wake up each day with a relentless pursuit get better and learn more.

We had a great morning out with Caleb! It was the first time my cousin was throwing a fly rod off the bow of a skiff and Caleb was very knowledgeable and patient. He gave great instructions and I definitely would recommend him to anybody looking to have a fun day on the water.

I had a trip planned to Charleston and heard about the great redfishing on the flats. I’ve never been to SC and went straight from the plane to the boat ramp to kick things off. I couldnt have asked for a better introduction to what the state has to offer with Captain Caleb. It was my first time fly fishing in the salt and I learned a lot thanks to him. He knows the area very well and gives you plenty of opportunities to catch fish. We were able to work well together and it felt like we were a team while spotting and getting shots at the reds. Hooking into these fish is a great feeling and Caleb will put you in position to give you the best crack at it. It was truly an unforgettable experience and I would recommend Caleb to anyone interested in some awesome saltwater fly fishing! I’m officially hooked!

I’ve chartered with Capt. Caleb over the years when I visit Charleston. The first year we ran I book 3 days during my week long stay. Happy to say I was able to come back to our rental on IOP with PLENTY of fish! Fast forward a year later Caleb reached out to me about fish he located in the area that were massive! We put a 43in red in the boat I managed to haul in with a 10wt fly rod! A memory of a life time.. Capt. Caleb is text book definition a salty dog, spending more time on the water than on land to give his clients a story to take home with them. Thank you Capt. Caleb for your hard work, we’ll see you soon!
