Looking to catch some fish in Murrells Inlet? Then Reel Saltwater Adventures has a trip with your name on it! Having logged many hours on these tides, Captain Michael is prepared to put you on fish.

Top targets include Flounder, Redfish, Sheepshead, Speckled Trout, King Mackerel, Black Drum, and more with any luck. On these trips, it's common to troll and bottom fish using light or heavy tackle.

You'll be welcome aboard a 25' Sea Pro bay boat with capacity for 5 passengers. It has everything you need for a productive day on the water. Your captain will provide rods and reels. Live bait is included, but be sure to ask about it so you know if you'll be catching it yourself.

The charter boat covers your fishing license, so all you have to do is show up ready for a good time! Be mindful that some species may have special rules or limited seasons. If you don't know what to expect, ask the captain.

It's recommended to bring sunblock (non-spray), bottled water, and sunglasses. If you'd like to bring other drinks, just ask. Alcohol is allowed in moderation, but try to avoid hard liquor as well as glass bottles.

    Great Merrells Inlet fishing trip!

    4 Hour Trip (AM) on August 7, 2026 • 6 adults • 1 child

    We had a great experience with captain mike. Conditions were difficult, but he moved us to at least four different locations to ensure that we caught some fish and nice memories. We ended up catching a stingray, a batray, a flounder, and a few blue gill and pin fish. the boat was a beautiful, 25 foot center console in pristine shape. he kept fresh bait on our lines and gave us some good casting tips. I would definitely recommend Capt. Mike and Reel Saltwater Adventures and hope to use him again myself for another trip.

    weather held us back

    6 Hour Trip (AM) on August 6, 2026 • 3 adults

    Due to the dredging in the sea and the volatile weather, it was hard to catch fish and get to some good locations. However, our group of three each caught a few fish and Cpt. Mike made it enjoyable, and played sime tunes while we were crusing to different spots. i feel like a lot of people wouldve given up, but we tried several spots throughout the day, and hung in there. Will be sure to hire Cpt. Mike next year and hope the weather will be more cooperative.

    Guys Trip

    5 Hour Trip (7AM) on April 24, 2026 • 3 adults

    If you’re thinking about a fishing charter in Myrtle Beach, book with Reel Saltwater Fishing—no question. Captain Michael was awesome. Super knowledgeable, easygoing, and had us on fish right away. We caught a ton and had a blast the entire time. He also taught us how to catch sheepshead, which none of us had ever done before. It was tricky, especially in the wind, but he walked us through it and we still ended up with enough keepers for dinner. To top it off, he cleaned the fish and had everything on ice for us—couldn’t have been easier. Great experience from start to finish. We’ll definitely be back.

    Overall Great Trip!!! Highly Highly Recommended!!!

    5 Hour Trip (7AM) on June 22, 2026 • 2 adults

    Captain Michael called us the night before to let us know that the fishing had been a little slow where we were initially scheduled to go. He suggested we go to another location where the fishing had been better, even though it was further out of the way for him. We ended up catch quite a few fish and had a great time. Highly highly recommend to anyone looking for a great trip!

    Captain Michael was awesome.

    5 Hour Trip (AM) on June 18, 2026 • 2 adults

    Weather was not cooperating and Captain Michael worked hard to put us on fish. We caught some fish but it was worth so much more than catching. We had a great time and will definitely be picking this charter for the next fishing excursion. We had an absolute blast.

    Caught 7 different species!

    4 Hour Trip (7AM) on June 29, 2026 • 5 adults • 1 child

    We caught blue fish, kobia, pin fish, shark, toad fish, flounder, and sea bass! The captain was awesome, very knowledgeable. We loved that the Captain gave special attention to the 8yr old boy with us and made sure he caught the best catches!

    If you’re looking to catch fish this is the guy to go with! The boat and all equipment was top of the line as well as the atmosphere on the boat! He put us on fish in no so great condition and we came home with lots of meat! Highly recommend!
