6 Hour Trip – Inshore
Perfect day on the water
Captain Chris was as good as it gets. We did a little bit of everything the area had to offer. As an avid angler in the Great Lakes region i was out of my element to say the least. He was great showing me and my boys the ropes. What a great experience and I will 100% fish with Chris again.

Captain Chris was Great
We did back creek fishing and near ocean fishing around a jetty. Caught a bunch of flounders close to keeper size but only had 1 keeper. Caught several ribbon fish which were fun to catch but not an edible fish. Caught a small bass also. Captain Chris was great. He took us to some of his favorite spots and explained why each spot was good for fishing. He was patient with my wife and showed her how to cast. My two boys also thought Captain Chris was great. Showing them how to cast and explained why we were at several fishing spots. I highly recommend Captain Chris and Southern Charter Co at Murrells inlet.
