Chip Hamilton has been fishing on Lake Hartwell since "before I can remember", as he says! He was going out with his grandpa, the late George Faust, before he was even big enough to reel in a striper or hybrid. Guiding profesionally since 1994, you will not meet a more friendly guide or one who will work harder to ensure that your trip is safe, productive, and enjoyable!

Since 2003, guiding became the main source of income for Chip with taxidermy filling in the gaps. He has been featured in over 30 magazine articles and currently does a bi-monthly fishing forecast for South Carolina Sportsman.

Chip currently resides in Piedmont (Powdersville area) with his wife Tracy and their two children, Tiffany and Matthew.

To all my customers who I have been chartering since I began in 1994 and to the ones that are yet to go, I say "thank you and I appreciate your business". God bless you all.

Sincerely, Chip Hamilton
SC Guide Service
