From Flounder, Redfish, Black Drum, Sheepshead, Summer/Winter Trout to King/Spanish Mackerel, Cobia, Barracuda, Shark, and more, your captain will see to it that you bring home a catch to remember.
You can bring your family aboard for half a day to test the waters and spend four hours chasing down as many fish as you can. You may keep your catch and the Captain will provide ziplocs and show you how to clean it, as well with

If only the fish cooperated
End of December charter, weather was 60F, water temp 56F. Captain Perrin knew the areas well. We started out at the jetty, wind only 8mph but the waves were 5 footers there. We stopped at 3 diff spots that normally produced but could not get even one bite on the live shrimp. None of tge other boats out were getting much of anything either. Capt decided to get us back into the inlet and we tried about three spots but couldn't get a thing to bite there either. none of the other boats were getting anything either as well. We still had 90 min and exit tide was at 50% so back out to the jetty. Capt Perrin picked a favorite spot and we started getting into the sheephead pretty regular. Looking around at a few other boats, they werent getting anything! We didn't get into anything really big but we still kept catching fish all the way up to the time to leave. Looked like we were one of the lucky one considering how odd the fishing was that day. We enjoyed Capt Perrin and the conversations and stories. Looking forward to trying Murrells Inlet with Capt Perrin again in the future.

Captain goes out of his way to make sure there are fish in the boat
First off this is a veteran owned charter. Captain Perrin is all hands on deck. Learned this business from the school of hard knocks. And believe.you me he’s learned well. He went out his way to see that I caught fish, and at this time of uncertain weather conditions of later still found fish. Thank you captain. Hopefully I’ll see you in October
