I've been fishing the ocean and creeks of SC's coast since I was ten years old. I developed a love for fishing that led me to start a charter fishing company nearly 20 years ago. After thousands of trips on the water, I still enjoy helping people to experience a great day on the water. I am a master US Coast Guard captain with experience running large sport fishing vessels, smaller charter vessels, and commercial fishing boats.

    great trip out again

    5 Hour Trip -Shared AM 6 PEOPLE MAX1 adult

    This was my third time out with these guys and another great, entertaining trip. We caught a good amount of spanish mackerel and again i reeled in another bigger shark. Last year i reeld in a 56” fine tooth shark and this year was about a 3 1/2’-4’ black nose shark. it was pretty wavy, rocky and thankfully cross was right there to make sure i got that shark in the boat and didnt fall in while doing so. Again great time out with these guys.

    So much entertainment

    5 Hour Trip (AM)5 adults

    It started out as a pretty slow day, but honestly, we were just happy to be on the water and NOT melting in the heat! We booked a morning trip for that very reason. 😂 Our captain kept moving us around to different spots, determined to find us some fish. And let me tell you… his first mate, “Wreck-It Ralph,” was worth the price of admission alone! 😂 Yes, they ALL had nicknames, and between the stories, jokes, and nonstop entertainment, we definitely weren’t bored! We even had a SAILFISH on the line!! 🎣 And then… well… WE let it get away. 🤦‍♀️😂 It wasn’t their fault AT ALL. Apparently, there’s a little more to this fishing thing than just holding onto the pole and hoping for the best! 😂 The crew did an absolutely amazing job. They worked hard, kept us laughing, moved us around, and did everything they could to put us on fish. we definitely came home with a boatload of laughs and a great memory! ❤️ 10/10 experience and we would do it a million times over! We’ll definitely be back… hopefully next time that sailfish doesn’t get the last laugh! 😂🎣

    Best crew around!

    1/2 day Trip (PM)4 adults1 child

    Captain Ty and first mate Cross were awesome! This was the first time my wife and 2 sons, age 12 and 18 had been on a charter boat. They loved it and had a great time. We trolled at first and caught some nice Spanish Makeral and later we fished the bottom around some structure and ledges, plenty of double cheeseburgers there as Cross called it lol. Both guys had a great personality and are very knowledgeable about fishing the area which definitely makes the trip out and back in much better. They actually got to know our family, hobbies, and interests. By the time we were back at the dock it was as if we had known them for years. We all had a great time and can’t wait to book our next trip with Ty and Cross, great job guys and thank you very much!

    So much fun!

    1/2 day Trip (PM)4 adults2 children

    This was a great experience! We took 2 of our grandsons, ages 13 and 9, they had a blast. Caught a ton of fish, they learned about the local fish and we kept several. the crew cut and cleaned our fish for us and we were able to find a restaurant that would cook them. The boys were able to trt sgark for the first time. Ty and Harmoni were fantastic! Engaged, funny and extremely helpful. we booked a half-day trip considering we didnt know how the boys would respond. they would have staued out there ALL DAY! These crew members made the trip fun, informative and exciting! You cant go wrong with Ty and Harmoni… just dont bring bananas on board! lol

What's biting with Fish Hook II Charters in North Myrtle Beach

Offshore fishing continues to thrive in autumn, with Tuna, Wahoo, and many others still biting vigorously. Inshore fishing is spectacular, as large Redfish start to move into the backwaters.
