Sea J’s Fishing Charters invites you for a go big or go-home fishing adventure in the Carolinas! You’ll meet Captain Justin Laplante at the Little River Watersports dock located in Little River, South Carolina and have a thrilling time fishing the area’s inshore, offshore, reefs, or rivers. He strives to make your fishing trip the best possible, so if the weather conditions aren’t ideal, you can change your trip or get a full refund! Some trips even come with fish mounts for you to take home your catch. Come aboard the captain’s new boat and have a true fishing adventure up to as much as 60 miles offshore!

You’ll fish from a 28’ Sea Hunt saltwater fishing boat.

The boat’s also equipped with outriggers, a livewell, and features an ice-box and a portable toilet.

The species you can catch on your trip include Red Snapper, Black Seabass, Mahi Mahi, Wahoo, Tiger Shark, Black Grouper, Hogfish, Sailfish, and more. Using light and heavy tackle, you can attract them by bottom fishing, deep sea fishing, trolling, jigging, and drift fishing. You’re free to keep your catch as well as to bring kids aboard.

Captain Justin covers you for all the rods, reels, tackle, lures, and fishing licenses, so just bring the food and drinks of your choice.
