About your Guide, Captain Michael Bruner

A South Carolina Native

Born and raised in SC, Michael grew up fishing around the North Inlet and Debordieu creeks with his family, which instilled his love for the saltwater marshes. After graduating high school and several years in Colorado for college, he moved to Charleston to finish school in 1998. After close to 25 years in Charleston and fifteen years guiding there, he moved to Beaufort which has become his home. His love for the fishery and serenity of the surrounding waters is no longer an escape from busy Charleston, instead a part of his everyday life.

Michael's boat is a Hell's Bay Guide flats skiff that allows him to get in six inches of water while still allowing him to access bigger water! As well as the skiff he has a 23' Sportsman allowing him to access the ocean fishery, as well as hosting bigger parties. When not on the water you might find Michael picking banjo for his local bluegrass band Flatt City.
