Holden Beach has a fish with your name on it, so let Hook Ya Up help you catch it!

Depending on the season, you might hook into Spanish Mackerel, Redfish, Flounder, Black Drum, Sheepshead, King Mackerel (Kingfish), Ladyfish, Blacktip Shark, Bluefish, Skipjack, Cobia, and anything else that bites. You'll target your catch by light tackle fishing, trolling, or maybe something more specialized in this area.

If you're traveling with the family, you will be glad to know that kids are welcome aboard! Children must wear life vests, so find out if the appropriate size is available on board. Also remember to bring snacks to ward off any mid-trip fatigue!

You'll be casting lines from a 21' Contender center console that holds up to 3 passengers. It has all the essentials no fishing machine can run without. Rods, reels, and tackle are included, along with lures. Live bait is available, but be sure to ask about it so you know if you'll be catching it yourself.

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

You can't go wrong when you bring sunglasses, bottled water, and sunblock (non-spray). If you'd like to bring other drinks, just ask. Alcohol is allowed in moderation, just be sure to avoid hard liquor as well as glass bottles.

Now and then the fish might get away, but a day on the water never should. So make it happen, with Hook Ya Up!

Highly Recommend, Great Experience!!
3 Hour Trip (AM) on May 20, 20263 adults
Captain Joshua took my family and I out for some morning fishing and we had an amazing time! He has been part of the fishing community here for many years and is extremely knowledgeable. I am a novice and he made it such a fun experience that I can’t wait to get back out there in the future. We caught plenty of fish, mostly spanish mackerel, but he even took us out to catch a shark, which we did. Great stories, good laughs, 10/10 would recommend to anyone. Looking forward to the next time!

Great trip with Captain Joshua
4 Hour Trip (AM) on May 28, 20263 adults
We had a great trip fishing the backwater for 4 hours with Capttain Joshua. Got a keeper Redfish, blue, and a few flounder that we released. Even landed a baby shark for fun at the end. Boat and tackle were first rate. Josh was awesome and even gave us some tips for shore fishing in the area. Thanks for the excellent trip.

The not so silent storm.
4 Hour Trip (AM) on July 31, 20252 adults
My son and I had a horrible experience with another charter. We told that captain to bring us back to shore. We found this charter and had the time of our lives we will never forget. We got hit by a storm that was not showing anything other than light rain, it was the storm of the year and the captain got us back to the dock safely. We then restarted the time clock and started a 4 hour trip all over again. We got a 7 hour trip for the price of a 4 hour trip. It was extremely fun and was a life experience
Reported catch:
Flounder
