Wanting to learn more about “Red Fishing” in the salt marshes of the low country, I recently chartered a trip with Captain Mark Nutting of LoCo Fly Fishing Charters of Hilton Head, SC.   I chose Captain Mark because of his location and the customer feedback I reviewed.  I was not disappointed.  From the time Captain Mark said, “get your rod” until I said, “I’ve had enough”, we were in school after school of large bull red fish.   The action was non-stop and more than I could have hoped for.  Captain Mark has the knowledge and temperament to guide both the experienced and the novice angler.  I can recommend Captain Mark Nutting and LoCo Fly Fishing Charters without hesitation.  
 
Best regards,

“Hiring Captain Mark Nutting was my first experience with a guide. When I think about hiring a guide I think of going to an exotic locale to chase bonefish, tarpon or permit. As such, I expected hiring a guide to be expensive and intimidating due to the massive travel and lodging expenses along with the fact that many guides may not be so patient with saltwater beginners such as myself. Here’s a little secret – you don’t have to spend a ton of money traveling to an exotic location to fish for some of the best game fish in the world. You can get the same rewarding fishing experience hiring Captain Mark to go after redfish right here in the Southeast. Captain Mark brings a tremendous amount of guiding experience to the table. Regardless of the weather or conditions, Captain Mark consistently put us on fish. No excuses. He even took the time to give my girlfriend and I casting tips. He is polite, patient, well prepared and fun to be around. It’s close, it’s affordable and it’s fishing for some of the best game fish in world right in your backyard. What more could you ask for?”

“Having fly-fished the Atlantic Coast from Maine to the Florida Keys, I rate Capt. Mark Nutting as one of the very best guides in the low country for anything that is willing to eat a fly.  Having spent his life fishing the waters all over the world he now guides full time, he is armed with a wealth of knowledge and strategies to quickly adapt to changing conditions on the water.  It is always a good day when fishing with Mark. Highly recommended for all levels of fly fishermen and spin fisherman alike. Always look forward to our next trip with Mark around the waters of SC and GA!”

“Captain Mark Nutting has the two attributes of a great guide. He has an intimate knowledge of the fish and their habitat, and a true passion for fly fishing that inundates everything he does. He knows that it is not just about what you catch, but the experiences and memories, a shared fellowship that those that are passionate about that “tight line” feel. A consummate professional and a great friend I would fish with Mark anywhere!”

“I have been on many trips with Captain Mark Nutting and every trip has been well planned and very enjoyable. In the mood for spinning rod or flyfishing. The redfish in the skinny water to the schools of jack cravelles in the big water. 5 to 6 species on a half-day trip is not uncommon. Price is good and I will continue to recommend LoCo Fly because pictures don't lie.”

Mark is an excellent fishing guide and knows the area well. During our trip he located several large red fish schools. My son & I caught close to a dozen red fish along with a large flounder & a trout... A low country slam! He has excellent skills in working with his customers and would be good for all ages and skill levels. We really enjoyed casting lures into the packs of fish he was able to locate. We caught several large red fish. Both my son & I were very pleased with our trip and would recommend Captain Mark's services.

 Thanks Greg and Karen West

“Excellent Mother Son bonding!!!”
Reviewed May 18, 2015 via mobile Capt. Mark is an excellent guide. He took my mother and I out on a fairly windy day. That did not stop him. He put us in front of hundreds of redfish. We were able to land 8 redfish. My mother had a quick 4 nothing lead. But I was able to get close. Mark is incredibly knowledgable of how to fish the area. He did not disappoint. We will definetly use Mark with Loco Fly again!

“Fly Fishing for Redfish”
By far one of the best times I've had EVER! Capt. Mark Nutting knows how to put you on the fish for sure! He was very helpful with instructing me on what to do and what not to do. We saw so many fish I lost count! 

I would highly recommend LoCo Fly Charters to anyone who wants to go fishing around the Savannah/Beaufort/Hilton Head area. I cannot praise Capt. Mark enough for the amazing trip! Thanks!

Mark Nutting is a amazing guide and captain!! He is very patient and will put you the fish of a lifetime. My first redfish came from loco fly charters and also my largest. Would definitely recommend him to anyone who wants to enjoy a great day on the water.

I am a new Soldier to the area and new to saltwater fly fishing. Mark showed me around and taught me how to be successful in catching reds in the low country.  I came away with some awesome fish, a great experience, and a huge amount of knowledge to catch fish in the future. I will definitely fish him with again soon.

​I have been fortunate enough to have been on many guided fishing trips in the past.  This summer I had the pleasure of fishing with Captain Mark Nutting.  Mark was extremely knowledgeable about fishing the skinny water of the Low Country.  Captain Mark was upfront and honest that the fish weren’t biting but was confident he could put us on them and assured us we would have a great day.  He couldn’t have been any more correct.  The fishing was hard but he was such a pleasure to fish with.  Mark offered top of the line equipment and plenty of advice for a beginner that had come along for the trip.  I have been with other guides in the past that would have scoffed at having a beginner on the boat.  Mark was more than accommodating, never getting frustrated and always stayed positive while dealing with the tough conditions.  I can’t wait to fish with Mark again and would recommend LoCoFly Charters to anyone looking to have a great day on the water hunting for big Low Country fish.  
 
Thank You,
