Georgia, US•Member since 20265.0Verified⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review for Captain John
2 Hour Trip – Inshore • 3 adultsWe had an awesome experience with Captain John on our 2‑hour fishing trip. He reached out the day before to confirm everything and make sure we were fully set, which I really appreciated. When we arrived, he was ready to go and made us feel welcome right away. The trip started a little slow, but Captain John clearly knows his stuff — he had us on the fish in no time. He was patient, friendly, and never made us feel rushed. In fact, when the bite picked up, he even gave us extra time so we could keep fishing. That meant a lot and made the whole experience even better. Highly recommend Captain John if you’re looking for a great day on the water.

2 Hour Trip – Inshore • 2 adultsTook my buddy out for a 2 hour fishing adventure in Murrell's inlet creek. Not trying to fill up the live well on this trip, just relax and catch a bunch of fish. Captain John got the vibe and put over a nice variety of fish. Pig fish, croakers, pig fish, sea bass, lizard fish and even a 14" weakie (we threw him back to live another day). Boat is clean as a whistle and spanking new...Captain John hosted a great morning on the creek for me a my friend...highly recommend Captain John!

2 Hour Trip – InshoreOh my gosh this was the experience of a lifetime. I had the absolute best time with my friends and my husband!! You can NOT got wrong with Captain John!! He was such a vibe and so much fun!! I highly recommend him! One thing I really loved about the experience was if you couldn’t catch any fish he already had one ready to reel in so no one felt left out! Highly recommend him for your captain!!

6 Hour Trip – Inshore/Nearshore • 3 adultsWe were a group of 3 and two of us are novices. The Captain took us to some great spots and we left with enough fish to feed a family of 7. Would recommend 100% 2 fishers from Ohio and our Second Mate was from Georgia.

What's biting with Lil’ Hooker Fishing Charters LLC in Murrells Inlet
With crowds thinning out, this is a great time to check out the Murrells Inlet Marsh Walk. Temperatures remain warm and the Redfish bite starts to get serious inshore.

Crew from PA with some nice mackerel
Sep 24, 2025 • Murrells Inlet
Great day. A little foggy early but the fish were chewing! Ran the beach and picked up some nice Spanish mackerel. Then headed a little further out and the crew hooked a nice 4.6lb Spanish and a 4.2lb Spanish! Also a bonus 28” King mackerel was brought over the rail. Great day with a great group from PA!! Thanks for fishing with me!
