Meet Guide Stevie English

4G Guide Service is led by a dedicated professional with a lifelong connection to the Santee Cooper system. Having spent countless years navigating the intricate layouts of Lake Moultrie and Lake Marion, our guide possesses a comprehensive understanding of seasonal fish migrations and underwater topography. While widely recognized for a deep specialization in tracking trophy catfish, this expertise extends across the board to include advanced tactics for locating and landing largemouth bass. The focus is always on translating this deep-rooted knowledge into a successful day for every guest, ensuring that individuals of all experience levels feel comfortable and well-informed from the moment they step on board.

The approach to every outing is grounded in patience and a genuine passion for the craft. A successful day on the water is defined by the quality of the experience and the knowledge shared, not just the final tally. Guests can expect a supportive environment where complex techniques are broken down into easy-to-understand concepts. This commitment to clear communication and professional integrity helps bridge the gap between a simple fishing trip and a true learning experience. By adapting strategies to meet the specific interests of each group, our guide ensures that the time spent on the water is both productive and educational.

A strong respect for the South Carolina ecosystem is at the core of our operations. Beyond the pursuit of a catch, there is a firm commitment to sustainable fishing practices and the long-term health of the Santee Cooper lakes. By prioritizing responsible resource management and conservation, we aim to help preserve these world-class waters for future generations of anglers. This dedication to the environment, combined with a transparent and honest approach to guiding, provides guests with the peace of mind that they are fishing with a trustworthy professional who values the resource as much as the sport itself.
