Join Capt Tucker Blythe for a day pursuing many of the different species that thrive along the South Carolina coast. After graduating the College of Charleston with a Biology degree he traveled around the country learning new and exciting fisheries and is constantly trying to figure out new and old tricks to put fish in the boat. His vessel of choice, The East Cape Vantage, is the true king of open water skiffs. It has massive spray rails that allow a smooth and dry ride. Powered by the lightweight Etec 90 and drafting less than 8 inches, The Vantage is the perfect boat for both running the beach in search of tarpon or chasing reds in the skinny.
