Family owned and operated out of Murrells Inlet South Carolina. You can experience some superb inshore and nearshore fishing. Captain Adam, a born and raised local, has been fishing in these waters for over 30 years. He is the owner of Tide Chaser Enterprises LLC and has 2 other captains that work with our team – Capt. Lucas, and Capt. Tommy (Tide Chaser/Saltwater Assassin). They are your go-to for all things fishing in their neck of the woods/water.

Captain Adam and his crew are true all-rounders when it comes to fishing. Using a variety of techniques, they ensure that you have the best time possible reeling them in. Depending on the trip you choose, you can expect to reel in Black Drum, Cobia, Flounder, King Mackerel, Redfish, Black Seabass, Spadefish and SHARKS!

A typical trip will take you fishing either inshore or nearshore depending on the weather. You’ll be able to keep your catch, but please bear in mind that all over-slot or under-slot fish will have to be returned to the water. All the gear will be provided for you including fishing rods and reels. Your fishing license is included in the price as well as cleaning your catch.

You are welcome to take food, drinks (no glass), and sunscreen (lotion only) with you.
