    Great experience!

    4 Hour – Fishing Adventure • 5 adults • 1 child

    We had a great time fishing with Captain Perrin. We had a group of five and we all caught fish, including red, shark, flounder, and sting ray. The captain was very knowledgable of the waters, and did a great job putting us on fish. My 16 year old nephew caught his first red (28 inches) and my 12 year old nephew was very excited to reel in a sting ray. The captain went above and beyond making sure we had fish to take home and even gave us some tackle and bait we needed for fishing off the beach for the remainder of our trip. Would highly recommend!

    Great Trip

    4 Hour – Fishing Adventure • 3 adults • 1 child

    I highly recommend Captain Perrin. He is very knowledgeable and informative on what his plans were going to be for the day. He took me, my wife, and our 11 year old son out today. My son got the skunk out of the boat early with his first Cobia. He then proceeded to catch another first with a Flounder. We ended the day with 6ft Sandbar shark whch was a blast, and quite the workout! Captain Perrin is a great option if you plan on getting a charter in the Murrels Inlet area.

    Captain Perrin is top notch!

    4 Hour – Fishing Adventure • 4 adults • 1 child

    The captain is what makes or breaks this type of experience. Dont waste your time with someone who doesnt have experience in the area. Captain Perrin is a native who knows the waters, the best spots, and will set you up for success. Great for all ages. We wont book anyone else in the future.

    First off this is a veteran owned charter. Captain Perrin is all hands on deck. Learned this business from the school of hard knocks. And believe.you me he’s learned well. He went out his way to see that I caught fish, and at this time of uncertain weather conditions of later still found fish. Thank you captain. Hopefully I’ll see you in October

    End of December charter, weather was 60F, water temp 56F. Captain Perrin knew the areas well. We started out at the jetty, wind only 8mph but the waves were 5 footers there. We stopped at 3 diff spots that normally produced but could not get even one bite on the live shrimp. None of tge other boats out were getting much of anything either. Capt decided to get us back into the inlet and we tried about three spots but couldn't get a thing to bite there either. none of the other boats were getting anything either as well. We still had 90 min and exit tide was at 50% so back out to the jetty. Capt Perrin picked a favorite spot and we started getting into the sheephead pretty regular. Looking around at a few other boats, they werent getting anything! We didn't get into anything really big but we still kept catching fish all the way up to the time to leave. Looked like we were one of the lucky one considering how odd the fishing was that day. We enjoyed Capt Perrin and the conversations and stories. Looking forward to trying Murrells Inlet with Capt Perrin again in the future.

    Captain Perrin Wood provided my son and I with an awesome experience on the water out of Murrells Inlet. He was very patient, personal, and just an overall great guy. We left early and came back late, which I know was a hassle for him because he had another trip right behind us on a very hot day, The most important thing is that we caught about 20 fish of different varieties, including keeper Redfish and Flounder to bring home for dinner for the family. Thanks Captain Perrin and keep up the awesome work!

What's biting with Southern Saltwater Charters in Murrells Inlet

As the waters cool, the fishing also changes. Bull Redfish and Trout are feeding up for winter and devouring shrimp, as well as artificial bait. Black Drum are also bottom feeding.
