Captain Tommy Matthews
with a nice load of Santee Stripers that were caught during one of his guided trips.

Captain Tommy Matthews would be a great choice to take you on a day of fishing for stripers or catfish on the Santee Cooper Lakes. Captain Tommy was born in Atlanta, Georgia on 06/03/1960. He then moved to South Carolina in 1965 and has been fishing the Santee-Cooper Lakes since he was a little boy. He is also the nephew of Randolph Matthews who started Randolph's Landing back in the late 1950's. Captain Tommy has been SC Coast Guard Licensed since 2000 when he retired as a welder, which he had done for almost 20 years. He fishes from a 25 1/2' Maycraft, a nice deep v-hull boat, which is powered by a 225 HP Mercury engine. Captain Tommy has the knowledge and skill of fishing that he would love to teach you during a day of guided fishing fun.
