    was like being on a lake

    4 Hour Half Day Charters Special - 12:30 PM • 2 adults

    we were specifically targeting flounder (inshore) I had one person that was first time on a boat It was my first time going after flounder using live bait and I lost an awful lot. The 3rd guy outfished me by probably 8 to 1 , but I caught the biggest fish. I can’t wait to go again. Capt Jason is very knowledgable and made the afternoon so easy for us. We didn’t even have to put on bait or touch the fish. He allowed us to be very lazy. After we came i he filleted our fish and he did an outstanding job (not a single bone) Good job Jason tight lines till our next trip

    Amazing trip!!!

    Half Day Charters (AM) • 6 adults • 2 children

    Our group of 6 (4 adults and 2 kids) went out with Hayden on the inlet. We originally planned to go nearshore to give the kids their first experience out of the inlet, but the wind was too bad so we stayed in. Hayden was extremely knowledgeable and the BEST captain! He worked his butt off to allow us the best time and chance to catch fish! We landed 5 bug redfish (got to keep 2) and 4 flounder! Plenty for some delicious fish tacos later on! Hayden cleaned and bagged the fish at the end lickety split! We will definitely be going out with him again and hopefully get out to the big water next time! The whole booking process was great and we had direct message access up till the trip. Communication was excellent. 5 stars all the way.

    Not Just A Normal Fishing Trip!!!!

    4 Hour Half Day Charters Special • 5 adults

    We had an incredible day out on the water, and what stood out to me most wasn’t just the fishing—it was the teamwork. I’ve never seen charter boats operate the way this group did. Several boats worked together like a true brotherhood, communicating and coordinating to make sure every boat had a chance to get on fish. It wasn’t a one‑man operation; it was a community effort, and it made all the difference. Our captain, Kyle, was fantastic. He was not only running the boat but also actively training his first mate, Jackson. I was genuinely impressed by Kyle’s patience and the way he took the time to teach Jackson the ropes. In many places, the captain just drives, but Kyle was everywhere—coaching, managing lines, and setting an example of what hard work and good leadership look like. I don’t know what Jackson will choose to do in the years ahead, but the values he’s learning from Kyle are going to serve him well. As for the day itself, my husband, my grandson, and his two friends all caught fish, laughed, and made memories we’ll be talking about for years. It was fun, relaxed, and completely worth it. All in all, it was a great day on the water, and I’d highly recommend this charter to anyone looking for both a good time and a crew that truly works together.

    Response from Charter operator

    thank you so much that’s probably one of the nicest reviews anymore. I’ve ever left us. We are one big family and one big team and we try to help each other and work together so that everybody gets the best experience not just a couple boats here and there so I really appreciate that. Also thank you so much for going out with us. We’re looking forward to seeing you guys on the order next time. I hope you enjoy your holiday week.

    Great day on the water

    4 Hour Half Day Charters Special • 2 adults

    Capt Nick was great! He knew the right spots to hit and if there was no bites he took us to a new one. He wanted to do his absolute best to make sure those tips were bent! Catching the Spanish Mackerel was super fun and our favorite. We also caught some trout, blue. Was hoping for some Flounder but we didn't have any luck with those but it wasn't for lack of trying. We didn't barely any time to try sinve we did the 4 hour trip. One thing to keep in mind is we did lose about an hour of fishing with having to go catch some bait. We would for sure book with MIFC again!

    Reported catch:
    Spanish Mackerel
    Speckled Trout

    A perfect captain for kids or inexperienced people

    Half Day Charters (PM) • 2 adults • 1 child

    My young daughter and I took a 4 hour trip which was awesome! We had the pleasure of fishing with Captain Jason and his First Mate, McKenna. They were AWESOME! My daughter had never been on a boat or in the ocean fishing before and our crew was nothing short of amazing. They were very patient and eager to help give her and I pointers on what to do. They were very professional and knowledgeable. We had a blast and will never forget the time we had together. I cannot put into words how grateful I am to have had Jason and McKenna as our guides for our first charter together.

    Reported catch:
    Flounder

Hot Redfish Bite today in shallow water

May 7, 2026 • Murrells Inlet
Had absolute blast today chasing the schools of Redfish in shallow water as we got to the lower tide started seeing some Redfish push and absolutely jumped on some really good size ones anywhere from 16 inches all the way up to 30. It was a really good bite caught them on a mixture of live bait artificial shrimp. Now is the time to get on these fish before it gets super hot.

Our Spanish mackerel have showed up on the reef very very thick getting lots of numbers and some bigger ones. redfish and flounder bite is really starting to pick up in the INLET as well. This is kind of cool cause we can go out to the reef and get some Spanish and then turn around and come back and get some flounder and Redfish all on a four hour trip.

Apr 3, 2026 • Murrells Inlet
Well is spring time is upon us and we are getting beautiful 75° days. The fishing is just as hot on both the nearshore reef and back in the INLET. Flounder bite has picked up dramatically this week with the full moon. We’re getting a good amount of redfish inshore and on the nearshore reefs, the Spanish mackerel bite has just picked up still getting some great sheep pad and black drum as well. It doesn’t get much better than this time of year spring and fall is always my favorite. Lots of fish moving up and down the COAST book your Charter today come out make some memories that’ll last a lifetime.

Apr 2, 2026 • Murrells Inlet
As our water temperature has started to warm up with the temperatures, the fishing has gone from good to absolutely amazing. Our big flounder run is underway. Lots of numbers with a few big ones mixed in and our red fish bite has picked up dramatically as we are catching Redfish from 14 inches up and over 30 inches on the jetties in shallow waters. They seem to be everywhere. Also, with the full moon, we’ve been catching lots of speckled trout and some black drum. on the nearshore reefs the sheepbead bite is still hot. We’re getting some summer trout mixed in with some good sea bass, and we are starting to see our first batch of sharks as well. There is no better time to go fishing than the spring. I would book your Charter today and let’s go fishing.

Big Black Drum and lots of Sheephead

Mar 26, 2026 • Murrells Inlet
Captain Hayden on Salty Tailz has had an absolutely hot hand this week, catching black drum and lots of sheephead on the nearshore reefs. The best part of our coastline is most of our reefs are only 3 to 5 miles in the ocean so you don’t have to go real far to get on this type of action. Inshore Fishing report he is starting to heat up as our flounder bite has just started as well. Lots of schools are redfish with a little bit cooler water still around and we’re starting to see some nice speckled trout overall excellent time of year to book a charter. With spring break and Easter coming up this is Prime Time to take the family out fishing and enjoy your time here in Murrells Inlet, South Carolina.
