The Tall Tide Team

The Tall Tide team is made up of of captains that are more than just great fishermen-- they are smart, thoughtful, patient, and fun to be around. 

Leading this team is Captain Gates Roll. Gates grew up fishing and exploring the rivers, swamps, and marshes of the Lowcountry. A graduate of the College of Charleston, he has been professionally guiding in Charleston waters for many years. When not fishing, Gates is an accomplished naturalist interpreter and outdoor adventures guide for Coastal Expeditions. He won REI Adventure’s Guide of the Year Award in 2013, and he has lead outdoor expeditions throughout the Lowcountry. With Captain Gates you get more than just a fishing guide—you get someone who has a deep knowledge of the area’s natural and human history.

A fishing excursion may be the most intimate interaction you can have with the Lowcountry’s incredible natural landscapes. Whether you are novice or expert, Tall Tide Fishing will ensure you have a safe, fun, and successful fishing experience.
