We had a fabulous time with Captain John of Lil’ Hooker Fishing Charters in Murrells Inlet, SC.  From the moment we stepped on the boat, Capt. John made us feel welcome, relaxed, and ready for a great day of fishing.  He is knowledgeable, personable, and clearly loves what he does.  We fished with our 10 year-old son, and Capt. John was fantastic with him.  He taught him about caring for the gear, respecting the rules of the water, being mindful of others, and of course all about fishing!  We pulled up a sting ray and Capt. John showed my son how to hold it properly to not get hurt and let him touch it before safely releasing it back into the water.  Capt. John knew exactly where to find the fish - even though the other boaters we passed were not having luck.  We did!  Capt. John explained the currents and why the fish were biting where he took us.  Capt. John made the experience fun, safe, and stress-free.  The boat was clean and well-equipped.  Capt. John arrived on time and kept us fishing up to the last minute.  He took care of the gear, bait, cleaned the catch for us, and told us how to cook them to perfection.  We had a great day - and an even better dinner!  We had a great day with Capt. John.  We highly recommend Capt. John with Lil’ Hooker Fishing Charters for anyone looking for a great day of fishing!  Thank you Capt. John.  We will definitely be back!

My boys and I had a fantastic time with Captain John. He was extremely helpful and knowledgeable. Provided us extra time to make sure we were able to reel in a big fish, which we did! This was our first time doing a fishing charter and fishing on the ocean Captain made sure it was one to remember! We also almost caught a shark but it bit through the line! If you are looking for a private charter this is definitely one to pick! I highly recommend. Remember to bring some drinks with you as we forgot and Captain graciously provided us a few cold drinks from his own cooler. Thanks again for the great memories!

Captain John was absolutely wonderful! Took us to some great spots and we caught plenty keep for dinner! The gear and boat were amazing and he was well prepared with everything for our trip. Seriously went above and beyond. We will definitely be recommending his services to friends!

Captain John and the fishing experience were great. Beautiful day, calm water, but nothing wanted to bite. Captain John stayed on top of the kids until they reeled three beautiful sharks. Would absolutely recommend this trip to any family looking to get a few hours out on the water.

We went two hours with our 2 sons and had absolutely the best time. The captain is excellent. Gear is top notch. He is patient and took the time to educate us along the way. We learned a lot about the different fish we caught. Excellent for familles! .  5 stars!! ⭐️
