Captain
Wayne Hardee

Member since March 2022 Georgetown, United States
Background
Captain Wayne Hardee found his passion for salt water in 2000 when he moved to Murrells Inlet. Since then, he has spent countless hours on the waters. Capt. Wayne's experience is equally split in shallow water, chasing Redfish, to the blue waters of Gulfstream trolling for pelagics. With two young sons of his own, the captain has a passion for putting kids on fish of a lifetime. He has many years of competing in fishing tournaments, including Redfish, King Mackerel, Wahoo, and many others. His number one goal for his customers is to have a safe trip while making memories of a lifetime. Capt. Wayne takes pride in making your trip enjoyable as possible. Also, he believes that a client should sit back and just reel in the fish, and he will take care of everything else. No matter your experience, you will have a pleasant and fun time with Captain Wayne. He works hard to make your trip a success!
Techniques
The captain offers everything from sight fishing for Redfish to trolling for Wahoo. This is one of the rare charters that offer Flounder gigging at night.
