Big O's Fishing Charters is located in Little River, Big Os offers to show you a memorable time in these waters.

Capt. Orlando (USCG 100 ton master captain) and lifelong fisherman in the Little River area will do his best to make sure you have a fun day full of fishing. This involves 4 to 12 hour trips, mainly fishing for King, Mackerel Spanish Mackerel, Cobia, Dolphin, Amberjack, Grouper, Black Sea Bass, and Snapper, depending on the season and conditions on the day. On these trips, you can expect to use techniques such as bottom fishing and trolling.

Your fishing adventure starts on a 35' triton center console, Coast Guard certified boat that can safely take up to 6 anglers. This boat comes with a toilet and everything needed for a great day on the water.  Also, we are located in one of the closest marinas to the ocean. We can be in the ocean in about 10 min from leaving the dock.  On our 4 - and 6-hour nearshore trips, we can be fishing within 15 mins from leaving dock.

All rods, reels, bait, and terminal tackle are included in the price so you can focus on what really matters, fishing. Your trip will include all the necessary fishing licenses for the day. The crew will fillet your catch for you to take home at the end of the trip.
Only 4.5 miles from the ocean, you get more fishing time instead of riding time.

Greatest charter ever!!
Big shark (4 hr) - 4:00 PM on August 18, 20262 adults

I’ve been on many charters and this is by far the greatesr experience ive wver had on a charter boat. As soon as we got to the boat we struck up conversation and it quickly felt like we had known Capt O and first mate Chris for a long time due to how at home they made you feel. And it wasn’t long after the action begun and we were on fish the whole time. It was nonstop action and the goal then from Capt O was to keep catching bigger fish not just the same size over and over again. Thus allowing me to catch the largest ocean fish to date for myself. If you’ve been scrolling looking for a charter stop here because you won’t find a better one anywhere! We will be back for sure!!

Had a blast shark fishing!! Kid friendly!!
Big shark (4 hr) - 11:30 AM on August 19, 20263 adults3 children

Great experience shark fishing, kids loved it and caught a Sharpnose shark. Adults had a great time and everyone was able to catch sharks ( two sharpnose, a hammerhead, and a good size black tip). Highly recommend to anyone looking for a fun time weather with kids or a group of adults. Captain Orlando and his first mate had great stories and a wealth of knowledge. Will definitely book with them again on our next trip!

Great Day!
4 Hour Trip – Nearshore on August 14, 20264 adults

Captain O & his first mate Chris were awesome! We caught a few fish to take home and eat, and a few sharks! We even got to keep the shrimp we caught when looking for shark bait. Captain O & Chris were very knowledgeable and answered all our questions and even shared some funny stories. Great for first timers or even people with a bit more experience. Overall great experience!

Fun Family Outing
4 Hour Trip – Nearshore - 4:00 PM on July 14, 20262 adults2 children

Had a great time out on the water with my wife and daughter! Neither of them are experienced anglers, but they both had a blast. The crew was friendly, knowledgeable about the area, and shared some great stories about the local history along the way. We enjoyed beautiful views of the North Myrtle Beach skyline as well as the surrounding protected natural areas. The fishing was fun too—we caught a bonnethead shark while bottom fishing and several Spanish mackerel while trolling. More than anything, it was a great day making memories together as a family. That’s what it’s all about.

Great Day on the Water!
4 Hour Trip – Nearshore - 11:30 AM on July 16, 20265 adults1 child

For this multi-generational family trip of naive midwesterns, Captain Orlando and 1st Mate Chris were amazing! Both Orlando and Chris were genuine and kind, providing a memorable trip for all of us. We caught a lot of Spanish Mackrel (delicious), saw several pods of dolphins, a hammerhead, and countless rays! Chris was amazing with our timid 9 year old daughter and took time to ensure she was comfortable and excited throughout the trip! Couldn’t ask for any more! Thanks Big O!!!

I've been fishing the Little River area all of my life. Starting off in creaks and backwater estuaries. Moved to offshore, and I was hooked. What i enjoy the most is that you never know what you may hook up with in the ocean. Could be a small fish or a fish of a life time, you never know. There is nothing like taking a new fisherman out and seeing their face when they hook up to a big fish.
