Captain
Matthew Long

Member since September 2021 Murrells Inlet, United States

Background: Captain Matthew grew up in Charlotte, North Carolina and started off freshwater fishing. After graduating from UNC Greensboro, he moved to Myrtle Beach. He's worked as the manager of the Murrells Inlet Outpost for several years and then as a full-time mate. Captain Matthew got hooked on saltwater fishing after seeing the offshore opportunities that Myrtle Beach had to offer.
Techniques: The captain basically enjoys all styles of fishing, including live bait trolling, dead bait trolling, jigging, bottom fishing, anything that is productive. His favorite two types of fishing would have to be trolling dead ballyhoo for Wahoo and live bait Grouper fishing.

Gulfstream bite has been excellent

May 12, 2023 Myrtle Beach

The gulfstream is still hot! This trip on the second week of may we had catches of Mahi, Blackfin tuna, and Wahoo.

Mahi are here, the gulfstream is hot!

May 4, 2023 Myrtle Beach

The gulfstream fishing is excellent right now, just this past Thursday we had a dozen mahi, several blackfin snapper, spotted scorpionfish, strawberry grouper, vermillion snapper, porgies, and more. We also hooked up on a marlin when it ate one of our mahi right behind the boat. Don't miss out on some of the best fishing of the year, book your gulfstream trip today!

Plenty of action in the Gulfstream

Feb 14, 2023 Myrtle Beach

Gulfstream trips have been very productive throughout February and will continue heating up throughout the month of March. March is the best time of the year for a chance at really big wahoo and can also be excellent for tunas, triggerfish, snapper, black sea bass, and more. We have also been seeing some nice sailfish as well.

I bought a 4 hour trip for a boys day, they had a blast. Captain Dalton was very professional, the boat was awesome and new and I’m considering doing this every year for Father’s Day.

6 Hour Trip – Offshore 20–30 Miles

We had an amazing time. We caught a variety of fish, 2 bull sharks 5-6ft long, and got to see a school of dolphins swim right by the boat…not to mention the beautiful boat ride. Couldn’t have asked for a better way to spend the day Can’t wait to come back and do it again.
