Awesome father/son trip
Half Day Charters (AM) Special on July 12, 20262 adults

Captain Ike went out of his way, to keep my 12 year old busy during our mid morning trip (due to our complicated schedule). He was very helpful in explaining the technique expected to use and corrected him when needed. We caught a variety of fish including a awesome red drum to check off my sons wish list. We cant wait for our next adventure with Captain Ike!

Good Times
Half Day Charters (AM) Special on July 25, 20244 adults

My wife, two sons and I were looking to fish down in Myrtle Beach. Definitely try to book as early as you can and look at the weather forecast. Might not help too much since the weather changes on a dime. Tried to book Thursday but was informed it was double booked and went with Friday. Thursday night weather said thunderstorms but when we got up, it was all clear. We met our captain, Crystal and her deck mate Braxton before heading out. They were super nice and down to earth. Went and caught some bait, and from the 1st stop we were catching fish. We caught several species. Lots of flounder, a few red fish, a sea bass, some toad fish, and my wife even caught a sting ray. I would highly recommend giving this a go. When we got back to the dock, they cleaned our fish and it looked like most other boats got fish as well. This trip was way better than the one we did last year in Hilton Head. If we come back, I will be booking before we even come down or 1st thing when we arrive!
