Fish Skinny Charters & Guide Service
Fish Skinny Charters & Guide Service
Spend the day with Fish Skinny Charters & Guide Service and find out what fishing in Georgetown is all about! Being a true native for over 50 years of the upper South Carolina coast and having logged many hours on these waters, Captain Greg knows them backward and forwards!
Just to the south of Myrtle Beach, on the lower end of what is referred to as the 'Grand Strand,' lies the waters adjacent to Georgetown, SC., Winyah Bay, North Inlet, and the Santee Delta. This area is the northern beginning along the coastal South Carolina Lowcountry of a vast and contiguous estuary system of coastal rivers, bays, sounds, and creeks among expansive marshes with unspoiled scenic views.
All are holding and harboring life above and below the surface. Inshore fishing opportunities abound in these uncrowded, much less hectic waters, and plenty of it. From backwater fishing for Redfish, Trout, Flounder, and more in the marshes to the open bays and inlets which in the summer and early fall months offer a chance also to pursue Tarpon, Bull Red Drum, and other species. This area is an inshore fishing haven, and fortunately, Capt. Greg's 'office!'
Families who love fishing together will be glad to know that kids ages 5 and up are welcome aboard! It's recommended to bring bottled water, snacks, sodas/drinks (no glass), sunscreen (non-spray), and sunglasses.
The trip is aboard a 21' Bay boat with space for 4 passengers. It has everything you need for a productive day on the water. Your captain will provide the fishing licenses, rods, and reels, as well as lures/bait and coolers with ice.
The safety of his clients is a top priority! Next is that your time together is an enjoyable one. Every effort will be made to see that all have fun and get a tug at the end of your line!
Know the Skinny. Get bit! Book your trip now.

Robert FarrRepeat angler5.0VerifiedGreat morning with Captain Greg
5 Hour Trip (AM) on July 4, 2025 • 2 adults • 1 childMy 6 year old son and I went out with Captain Greg and it was fantastic. My son enjoyed every minute from catching bait and spotting alligators to catching several redfish. We ended the morning with a 42” red which was the perfect ending for a great morning.
Allen Jackson5.0My family and I have been fishing with Captain Greg for at least 9 years!
5 Hour Trip (AM) on May 23, 2022While I’ve never booked a trip online, I believe it’s imperative that I share some photos and dialogue of my time on the water with Fish Skinny. Captain Greg is simply a younger version of an Old Salt. He knows the water, the channels, the best fishing grounds, and also the history of the areas he fishes. There is never a dull moment on his boat. He strives to give everyone the most opportunities to “sore mouth some big fish”. He makes sure everyone on board is safe, hydrated, costed with sunscreen lotion and baited for the bite. My family and I have spent many hours on the water with Captain Greg and we’ve never been “skunked”. If you don’t want to catch any fish, then don’t book a trip with him. But if catching fish is your thing, please make sure you do book a trip and see for yourself…Captain Greg is all about ensuring your get the best bite for your buck! Can’t wait for the next opportunity to step onboard his boat and catch some nice fish!
Ken Borah5.0Full Day Trip with Capt Greg
5 Hour Trip (AM) on May 6, 2022We have been fishing with Captain Greg for over 15 years. Our trips and experiences with him have made fantastic family memories. We have learned so much about fishing the intercoastal regions of North and South Carolina and the fish species we have sought. Not only has he grown our experiences in fishing, he has a vast knowledge of the area and its history which he openly shares in a fun, colorful and exciting manor. As a Captain and guide he has been the most productive (in catching fish), open, honest and personable guide we have had in our many fishing excursions to many areas between Ohio and Florida. We will continue to make our father/son memories with Captain Greg and his Fish Skinny charters for years to come. Thank you Captain Greg Holmes!
Derek Green5.0Fishing At It's Best
5 Hour Trip (AM) on April 12, 2022My son and I have been fishing with Captain Greg multiple times over the past 6 years. He not only is a great fisherman but even better person. He genuinely loves the outdoors and will do everything to make his clients fishing experience exactly what they are looking for. If you are a novice and want to learn different aspects of fishing basics he will demonstrate in a patient and relaxed manner. I cannot stress enough how great he is with the younger anglers! If your more experienced there will as well be tips and tricks he can convey. Every trip we have had with Captain Greg always left us feeling appreciative of the experience.

5 Hour Trip (AM) on April 19, 2024 • 4 adultsCaptain Greg did a great job of putting us on spot tails in Winyah Bay. His knowledge of the area was excellent and he knew a thing or two about catching fish. Had a great time and the whole crew was very pleased with the trip Will definitely use him again
Todd Taylor5.0Top Notch Captain
5 Hour Trip (AM) on March 7, 2023You will not find a better Captain in the Carolinas. Captain Greg Holmes was born and raised on this waterway and his local knowledge of the Carolina fishery is top notch. He works hard to put you on fish and has the patience to teach you how to catch them once he puts you on the fish. I have over 20 trips in the books with him and have nothing but great memories of those days. Know the "skinny" to get bit!
FishingBooker Member5.0Fish Skinny Guide Service
5 Hour Trip (AM) on August 6, 2022Fishing with Cpt. Greg Holmes with Fish Skinny has always been a great experience. We’ve fished with him previously in the Little River area, as well as the beautiful waters of Winyah Bay. He knows how to find fish, as well as include his knowledge of the area as part of your trip. We’ve been out with him quite a few times and never been let down. His inshore knowledge of the local waters will put you on the Fish;,The Fish Skinny!
Michele Cottrell5.0VerifiedBest fishing trip!
5 Hour Trip (AM) on September 14, 2023 • 2 adultsCaptain Greg is incredible and goes above and beyond to put you on fish! We caught fish all day and learned a lot about the area. We have fished all over and this was the best experience we had ever had! If you want to catch fish, book Captain Greg!
Frank Golson5.0Full Day with Capt. Greg Holmes
5 Hour Trip (AM) on October 6, 2022Greg did a fantastic job putting us on fish in multiple spots. We had a great time pulling in monster spottails and some nice trout all day. He is very familiar with all of the waters around Winyah Bay. I look forward to going with him again soon and hope you will do the same. You won't be disappointed! Frank Golson

My 6 year old son and I went out with Captain Greg and it was fantastic. My son enjoyed every minute from catching bait and spotting alligators to catching several redfish. We ended the morning with a 42” red which was the perfect ending for a great morning.
Captain Greg was a great Captain, changing how we catch fish (artificial lures vs live bait), moving when fishing slowed, all to ensure the best opportunity. He worked to catch our bait at the beginning of the trip so we would have options. Very friendly and knowledgeable about the area. Mainly caught red fish and trout. Great trip!

It has been a privilege and a pleasure having y'all as continuing clients Allen. Man time goes by quick looking at the pictures of the "younger ones" in your tribe.... WE GETTING OLD CHIEF! Funny thing is back in the day you were always acting as "first mate" for me with them and managing them, now that your lovely bride gets to fill the gap on board with us she helps me manage YOU! Thanks for your business Sir! Till the next episode!! 😎

I remember the first trip you gents had booked with me, was set for an afternoon run in July, got my morning trip in and the summer heat had the pm scattered rain and storm clouds blooming. If you recall I was somewhat hesitant about leaving the dock but after waiting it out for a bit and knowing young Kyle really wanted to go we headed out. Turned out to be a pretty good afternoon of "catching". After seeing the smiles on his face upon getting his first and subsequent reds I was glad we waited it out and got it done! Thanks for being such loyal clients through the years. We've had banner days when they were "biting like bulldogs" and days when it was a bit of a grind.... don't know til you go. Been my pleasure to have a dad/son duo like y'all aboard and to see Kyle growing into a good young man, Kudos to you and mom!!

The appreciation is mutual gents! When the call comes in from you to take Wyatt "catching" always look forward to seeing his latest fishing attire ensemble, such a flashy guy! 😳😀
