Werner Ocean Adventures

Captain Ryan here, thanks for checking out my page. I have been taking groups on fishing adventures right here in Little River inlet since 2006.

On this vessel, you will be licensed to fish in both South Carolina and North Carolina. Crab trapping, shrimp trawling, and sightseeing are also options along with fishing. Catching live bait with the cast net is a must-see in itself.

If the weather is in our favor we can take the 25’ Carolina Skiff up to 8 miles out for Mackerel, Barracuda, Shark, and a variety of other fish species. If the weather is not favorable or if you just prefer the calmest of water then we can fish the backwater creeks and inlet for Flounder, Reds, Trout, and a variety of other fish.

The maximum number of passengers for the trip is 6 and you should bring your snacks, drinks, sunblock, cameras, and other personal items. Everything else you need for a good time on the water is provided. I hope to take you and your family or friends on an ocean adventure soon.

I come from a commercial fishing family and I started commercial fishing at the age of 10. By high school my brother and I were fishing 600 lobster traps out of South Portland, Maine. I graduated from university in 1996 with a BS in Physical Education then sold the lobster business to pursue teaching. After two long years in the teaching profession I moved to Horry County to pursue South Atlantic salt life. I obtained my USCG captains license in 2000 and started offering fishing trips in 2001 from Murrells Inlet, SC. Moved the business to Little River Inlet in 2006 and have been enjoying it ever since. Along with providing one of the best fishing adventures in this area, I am also a firefighter / EMT. It is my hope to share my life of experience on the Atlantic Ocean with you.
