I come from a commercial fishing family and I started commercial fishing at the age of 10. By high school my brother and I were fishing 600 lobster traps out of South Portland, Maine. I graduated from university in 1996 with a BS in Physical Education then sold the lobster business to pursue teaching. After two long years in the teaching profession I moved to Horry County to pursue South Atlantic salt life. I obtained my USCG captains license in 2000 and started offering fishing trips in 2001 from Murrells Inlet, SC. In 2006 I moved the business to Little River Inlet and have been enjoying it ever since. I am also a retired career firefighter / EMT from the city of Myrtle Beach. It is my hope to share my life of experience on the Atlantic Ocean with you.

    The Perfect Day!

    Half Day Trip5 adults1 child

    Captain Ryan was absolutely wonderful. He is the definition of a true fisherman! Communication was great from booking til day of the trip. He made sure to ask what we wanted to catch before the trip and was well prepared. It was a super cool experience to catch all our bait fresh before actually fishing. He is so knowledgeable of the area and where to catch what fish. He provided so much education and was super patient with our family! He made sure everyone caught something before the day was gone. We had the perfect day and can’t wait to go again!

    Reported catch:
    Flounder

    thanks for the great review. it's nice to have a group like you all on a day when the fish are not biting all that good. if all those flounder we caught were keeper size we would have been sitting pretty

    Great Captain, great with the kids!

    Half Day Trip - 1:00 PM6 adults3 children

    Captain Ryan was very communicative with our trip about all the details and tips that we needed before our trip. When we arrived Captain Ryan met us and helped us get setup on the boat. He was great with the kids and working with them on catching fish and pointing things out to them. We were able to go to a few different spots and caught a few different types of fish which the kids loved on their first charter fishing trip. We would love to go with Captain Ryan again and highly recommend him to others!

    kids had a blast!

    Half Day Trip5 adults1 child

    We brought our 3 boys (15/13/10) and they had a blast! we caught red drum, sharks, toad fish, croakers, sting rays, and a variety of crabs. We also saw dolphins! The little channels were cool and calm. The actual ocean is where they caught majority, water was a little rough but that was expected. We would love to come back in the summer as he said the water warms up and fishing is even better. Ryan cleaned our fish and recommended the Crab Catcher restaurant because they cook what you catch. Also very good!

    Reported catch:
    Redfish
    Tiger Shark
    Response from Captain

    Family Fun

    Half Day Trip (7 AM)5 adults2 children

    Took my 4 boys out for a morning trip and had a great time with Captain Ryan. He was very knowledgeable and made sure we got some cool catches. He knew the area well, we moved from spot to spot and caught a variety of fish. My boys also aporeciated he caught his own bait for us to use on the way out and the drive back through the marsh area was very memorable. we would recommend this to any family looking to have a good time with a knowledgeable Captain.

    Response from Captain

    thanks for the good review.. yeah those shovelhead sharks are some good fun. glad they got that bull redfish they were looking for

    Great day on the water

    Half Day Trip (7 AM)4 adults

    We had a great morning on the water with Captain Ryan. He was able to get us onto big slot-limit reds in the inland waters. We then caught a nice speckled trout and some small blues out by the jetties. After getting back to the boat launch, Captain Ryan quickly cleaned and bagged our keepers. He is safe on the water. Very knowledgeable about the area and the fish. We will definitely contact him again when we fish here.

    Reported catch:
    Redfish
    Speckled Trout

What's biting with Werner Ocean Adventures 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.
