There's a fish with your name on it in Holden Beach and Sorta Salty Fishing Charters will help you catch it! Having logged many hours on these waters, Captain Keith & Capt. Jeff know them well.

Depending on the season, you might hook into King Mackerel (Kingfish), Black Drum, Bonito, Cobia, Redfish, Speckled Trout, and whatever else takes the bait. On these trips, you can expect to troll and bottom fish using light tackle.

Planning a family adventure? Kids are absolutely welcome! If you don't have a child-sized life vest of your own, be sure to ask if there's one on board. You're welcome to bring snacks for a boost of energy when needed!

You'll be casting lines from a 23' KenCraft 2260 bay boat with space for 4 passengers. It has all the essentials no fishing machine can run without. You'll find rods, reels, and tackle waiting for you, as well as artificial & live bait when available.

There's no need to buy a fishing license, just show up ready for some fishing! Keep in mind that you may release some fish due to regulations. If you don't know what to expect, ask the captain.

It's always wise to bring bottled water, sunscreen (non-spray), and sunglasses. Alcohol is allowed in moderation, just avoid hard liquor as well as glass bottles.

Your trip with Sorta Salty Fishing Charters is just a click away, so why not make it happen?

Great Fishing Experience
4 Hour Trip – Inshore/Nearshore on July 28, 20262 adults2 children

Captain Jeff gave my family a great morning fishing trip. He taught my boys how to fish for flounder, which was not as easy as one would believe. Its been ten days now sonce our trip and they are still talking about it. We brought about 6 fish on the boat in 4 hours and had a handful that we did not get in the net. This was our first family charter and cannot wait for next year with Captain Jeff!
