Catching Red Fish with Charleston Red Fish Pros plus Chef Robs Epic Grand Opening on BRB Episode 60
Bay Rats & Buoys Episode 60 – “Charleston Reds, Southern Waters & Chef Rob’s Grand Opening!”
Episode 60 of Bay Rats & Buoys brings the heat straight out of South Carolina as Captain Gaige sits down with Charleston’s finest: Captain Jamey and Captain Matt from Charleston Red Fish Pros, along with our good friend Chef Rob, who just celebrated the grand opening of Global Pizza inside Godwin Beer Hall in Summerville, SC! This week’s episode is a blend of Southern hospitality, world-class fishing, and big news for the Bay Rats community.
Captain Jamey and Captain Matt share their incredible story of how they launched their charter business from the ground up and what drives their passion for chasing Red Fish and Bull Reds in Charleston Harbor, Wadmalaw Sound, and the endless back bays and creeks they fish seven days a week. These guys live on the water, breathe the tides, and know the Lowcountry redfish game better than anyone. From skinny-water ambush tactics to reading the tides in the marsh, they walk us through the techniques, gear, and instincts that built Charleston Red Fish Pros into one of the most respected charter operations in the Carolinas.
We also take you behind the scenes of Chef Rob’s major milestone — the grand opening of Global Pizza, a new culinary hotspot offering creative, globally inspired pies inside Summerville’s popular Godwin Beer Hall. Chef Rob talks about the journey, the menu concept, and how fishing buddies, good food, and community always seem to come together under one roof.
