What would you recommend to anglers fishing in Murrells Inlet, South Carolina for the first time?

Take the early trip if at all possible. I had been told it was better fishing and from my experience it was great. Also the temperatures are cooler.

Not an ordinary fishing experience. Hook up with the locals or a charter guide and learn the waters and the ways.

Book with De La Nada, enjoy the local restaurants, and stop at the local fish markets to supplement different types of fish to take home.

Don’t go in expecting a deep sea fishing trip it’s not but the fishing in the inlet is a good experience

I would say look up weather but I planned trip 2 months in advance so it was kinda hard to do that..

Go to a knowledgeable and experienced charter and let me tell you On The Fly Captain Jimmy is the real deal !!!

Pay attention to weather and time of year. The warmer the water, the better options for active fish.

Check with the captains before you book your trip as the time of year determines what fish you can target.

Fishing the inlet is great, I'd recommend reading reviews of the charters to ensure they'll match your expectations. Look at the boat type also to make sure it matches your needs.

Great place to go whether you are an experience to angler or if you’ve never fished before they all treat you the same don’t make you feel stupid help you out and you have a good time.

Learning to fish flounder is a good experience and unique need patience and learning how to distinguish the bite

Many varieties and remember called fishing and weather conditions can impact. Learning how to fish for flounder was a challenge but exciting

If you want to go farther offshore, book a longer trip. We booked a 5 hour trip and I am glad I did because 4 hours would have been too short for us!

Spanish mackerel is common and good for eating. Would love to go for flounders but they are later in the year.

not sure I have anything - weather was in our favor on our trip - and the instructions provided made everything easy!!

Just be prepared for any weather conditions. Bring a lunch and sunscreen. Polarized sunglasses are a must! Murrells Inlet is a fabulous facility!

Bring extra clothes to accommodate for weather and snacks and drinks. Also use restroom before arriving as there is no restroom on boat. If you plan on keeping catch bing cooler and ice!

This rating is highly subjective to it being only about a week after hurricane Ian. The boat and Capt. Tyler were exceptional!

We didn’t fish in the inlet but just off the beach. I understand that November & December are best for inlet fishing.

It sounds like the fishing in Murells Inlet (not out in the ocean) is best in the fall when the reds, flounders, and other fish are in the inlet and stream areas.

It was extremely cold but we learned a lot and will get another chance when the weather warms up. Trip was great. Chuck was very knowledgeable and helpful. Will book again.

Plenty of motion sickness medicine. Make sure that they already have the bait . There was a wasted hour catching bait fish . But all and all a great time for me

The Captains here are really a great bunch. All were very professional and knowledgeable. If your having trouble finding a charter you will not be disappointed with These Captain.

Wear proper clothing, good shoes/sneakers that can be wet or dirtied.Sunglasses and sunscreen. Bring water and drinks. Have fun.

Communicate with your Captain. All of the CPTs want you to have a great trip and will do their best for you. They just need to know your expectations.

Capt Todd is a great guide with knowledge to help you catch fish . He is great with younger inexperienced fishing individuals.

Captain Jimmy and our first mate Collin took care of everything. Always remember to wear sensible shoes, bring a windbreaker and prepare to have loads of fun.

Check the tide tables for your planned trip and book accordingly. I did not but I had a good captain and I got lucky

Outside of fishing it is a beautiful area with numerous restaurants and bars right at dockside. Take advantage of the opportunities.

Just show up and enjoy your stay! “Marlin Quay” Marina & “Y-Knot” fishing charter are a guarantee if you’re a firs timer or old-hatter.
