Do your homework. Captain AL was supposed to be our captain "as advertised" but he is somewhat retired according to Captain Scott. Like most fishing trips you never what your going to get. Some crews work hard to make it a great experience and others just do the minimum. Reviews can be deceiving, ask around and do your homework.

August if you want to catch fish you can keep, go deep water if possible. They encouraged us to do 3/4 day, but we really were looking for 1/2 day nearshore as our first experience. Will return for the deep water next time.

The water was a little ruff getting to where we went but that was the weather and nothing to do with the boat or captain. the captain did a great job. The crew was always right there to help. All the guys had a great time and want to go again in the spring. Can't wait.

#1. Find this Captain.
#2. Don't have too high of expectations of landing a boatload of 20# redfish or 10# flounder.
#3. Slow down, enjoy the time with your family.
#4. Either go inshore - or plan a full 16 hour deep off-shore. Don't waste time and money on 6-8 hour boat rides just off shore..
#5. Tip your Mate - or if your Captain does it all, appropriately tip him/her as well.

Try to select a trip that has an in coming or out going tide. You can catch fish during a slack tide, but it's much more difficult. I would definitely recommend captain Caleb from Hook and Line fishing. Great guy and terrific guide.

First time visitors who want a fresh water adventure and catch fish need to book with Captain Todd. You will learn a great deal and have fun at the same time.
We saw alligators, crabs, Osprey, and caught fish too.

Like all salt water fishing species target should be anything that bites while you can target certain fish depending on a lot of factors what actually bites if anything is subject to many variables. Tides, weather fronts, and many other variables affect the bite. Crews work hard to put you on the fish but can't guarantee results.

Be prepared for choppy water and strong winds. Weather can change on a dime, must be flexible and patient to have a good experience. Wide variety of delicious fish. People friendly and always willing to help.

If there have been multiple days of hot, clear skies, fishing maybe less productive than anticipated.

Michael Maloni
Was a slow day in the inlet we had to go out ten mile to land keeper flounder. Captain Tommy put us on the bite.

Make sure you go with a good guide like ours. You definitely want someone that knows the water well and knows where to be to stay away from the boat rraffic.

Matthew Brickman
Sign up for the longest trip you can afford. We did a 4 hour trip and would have loved an all day trip. So much fun

Teri Napier
Murrells inlet is beautiful! It is very hot this time of year, but being on a boat with a breeze and the water to spritz off makes it bearable.

Joe Dean
Great atmosphere, scenery is beautiful. Multiple species of fish in a variety of different settings. Great place to fish whether you are a seasoned veteran or just a beginner.

Kevin Rossman
Great day of fishing. Just remember that your captain can not control the weather. But captain Dave did a great job on finding a honey hole

Jennifer Freihofner
I wish we had known to book a morning charter for better luck, but we still loved it. It was our first time.

JAMES KAILUKAITIS
Captains were reporting it was a tough day on the water, but we caught about a dozen fish, so was pretty good for us.

John Himmel
Go with Captain Jack Terrific local knowledge!! Great for people who have not fished Murrells Inlet previously

Jeremiah Johnson
Hit up Captain Mike with Reel Saltwater Adventures. Very knowledgeable of the area. He will put you on fish.

Chris Hodge
Try not to set your heart on one type of fish. The bite changes daily and you never know what to expect on the other end of your line.

Jeffrey Verbrugge
There's fish to be caught! If you're interested in specific species contact your Capt prior to booking to know if they are active. I like fishing and catching is fun too.

Randy Hartsell
Try a different area. This is the second charter out of Murrells inlet that felt like a tourist trap

Jacob Pashuta
Great time. Mostly calm waters, except out at the reef. If you get sea sick, definitely take something for it. I'm sure what time of year changes what you are fishing for. Maybe even week to week. Just know that your captain will know what to fish for and where to take you!

Ronald Clark
Would recommend only booking 3 people on this size boat. Can get a little crowded when fishing.

Trayson Kanniard
Go with Lil Hookers for you charter. Captain John will have you on fish all day

Daniel Satterfield
Fishing in June is hard there's a lot of variables to look out for i could explain it all.

Robert McGarvey
Book the trip!!! Just follow everything they tell ya and you will have a great time!

John Carro
The biting flies were unexpected, but some bug repellent could have taken care of it.

William Hudnall
Don’t be scared to try inlet fishing. Lots of flounder and they are good to eat

Get with Captain Joe, he is very good with newbies, my kids were thrilled, I just sat back and watched.
