Fine Catch Fishing Charters
Fine Catch Fishing Charters will have you coming back to South Carolina again and again for more irresistible, head-on fishing! Book your next fishing trip with Captain Chris Ossmann and have him show you around the beautiful inshore and productive backcountry waters of Little River.
Your voyage will take place on the captain's bay boat, powered by a 300hp yamaha engine. This 25' beauty can take up to 5 guests, including children ages 5 and up, so you can plan your next family vacation and bring the kids along as well! His boat is fully loaded with all the amenities you'll need, including a fishfinder, GPS, wireless trolling motor, live bait well, and safety gear.

Your main target species are trout, flounder, Cobia, Black Drum, Redfish, Spadefish, and many more. The Blacktip Shark has also been known to circle these inshore waters, as well.
You'll have your choice of top-quality Penn, and fenwick rods and reels.

Brandon Ensor•
Maryland, USMember since 20265.0VerifiedGreat Experience
Half Day (AM) on July 23, 2026 • 5 adults • 1 childWe had a great time fishing with Capt. Chris! He was knowledgeable, friendly, and worked hard all day to put us on fish. We started off hot by catching two keeper red drum, and throughout the trip we also caught another red drum, a small flounder, and two stingrays. Unfortunately, the flounder just weren't keeper size that day, but that definitely wasn't due to a lack of effort from Capt. Chris. He kept us moving and trying different spots to give us the best chance of success. Overall, it was a fun family experience, and we made some great memories on the water. We would absolutely recommend Capt. Chris to anyone looking for a great fishing charter!
Keith Black•North Carolina, USMember since 20255.0VerifiedExcellent charter!
Half Day (AM) on August 12, 2026 • 3 adultsWe had an awesome trip with Captain Chris! He was fantastic - super personable and helpful. ZERO curse words too, which is a big plus in my book. AND, he put us on fish! We caught trout and flounder on a morning half-day trip, including several keepers. Great boat and gear too. Our trip was everything you could ask for in a fishing charter. I will most certainly book with Chris again, and will recommend him to anyone fishing this area.

George Long•North Carolina, USMember since 20255.0VerifiedGreat afternoon!
Half Day (PM) on April 9, 2025 • 4 adultsWe had a great time fishing in the various areas of Little River- Chris did a great job of keeping us moving to find the fish. He also worked very hard to keep us all in the game, since we had some inexperienced as well as experienced folks. He made everyone feel comfortable and we all had a great time. We enjoyed our catch fir dinner and we look forward to hiring Captain Chris again the next time our family comes back to visit.
Steve JaffeRepeat angler•Maryland, US•Member since 20252 trips5.0VerifiedAwesome fishing experience!!
Half Day (AM) on May 19, 2025 • 2 adultsCaptain Chris was exceptional. My wife and I have chartered all over the world and this trip was one of the best we have had. Captain Chris is very knowledgeable and easy going. We caught five different species and went home with a pile of meat. I would highly recommend this Captain and will certainly be scheduling with him next time we are in town.
Michael HamukaRepeat angler•North Carolina, US•Member since 20184 trips5.0VerifiedTrip of a lifetime
4 hour catch and release only (AM) on August 23, 2024 • 4 adultsCaptain Chris was outstanding. Highly responsive to questions leading up to the trip and a true gentleman during the trip with my family. We started with a spot to get warmed up, which could have been the whole trip and moved a few times until we got into major red fish action, landing over 20 fish greater than 20”s and several of them 25”-30”. We also caught a dozen fish of different species from Black drum, croakers, flounder and a puffer fish. Absolutely the best trip of my last 10 years of fishing.

Thank you so much keith! im glad yall enjoyed the trip!
Captain Chris is a great guy and made us feel welcome right away. He also did an excellent job explaining fishing techniques to my 12 and 15 year old sons amd telling them about the different fish we were catching. The boys were talking about our day after a fresh catch dinner of fish tacos and said, “that dude was really nice.”
thanks, Jack. I appreciate the kind words and I’m glad you guys had a great time out there and got to bring home some dinner as well!

Your captain
Little River, South Carolina, United States
I've been boating and fishing since I've been able to stand on my own two legs. As a young child and teenager, I was able to experience many different types of fishing, from fly fishing for Salmon and Trout to offshore fishing for Yellowfin Tuna. I owe everything to my father, who was also a big-time fisherman. So in respect for him, I've decided to become a guide and pass along my skills to everyone!
