First time my boys had been fishing on the ocean and it was a great time! We did an afternoon trip and had a really good time, we caught spanish mackerel, seabass, grunts, and ring fish. Captain Carson and first mate Roger were fantastic, couldnโt have asked for a better experience!
Weโre sailors and used to the waves but the ocean was pretty rough that afternoon and Carson navigated them perfectly not just while heading out but when we trolled and bottom fished.
My only complaint is that I didnโt book a whole day!! Next time weโll be booking with Fish Hook and definitely a whole day. We canโt wait!

Went out on the 7am 5 hour trip. Three in our party plus an additional party of two. Safety was explained prior to departure. Wonderful ride out to sea via the intercoastal. Solid 1.5 hours of trolling. All five caught fish. Mackerel, ringtail, bonito. At least 7-12 a piece. Ty the mate was on point. Had the gear ready to go. Fish off the hook quickly. Then went bottom fishing. Another 20 plus fish landed. Sea bass, flounder, pigfish croaker. A wonderful day. Carson knew exactly where to go. And then at the dock he dressed them quickly. Will definitely be back

Carson and Roger were phenomenal!!! Our group ranged from experienced anglers to newbies, and they made everyone feel comfortable and confident throughout the trip.ย We all caught bait fish, then headed out to fish for shark - we were even able to bring some shark home to cook!ย When weโre back in the area, weโll definitely be booking another trip with Carson and Roger. Highly recommend!
Late July/August fishing can be tough but We absolutely SLAYED Spanish mackerel for about 2 hours straight (45-50+) to start off the trip. Cpt Dan was great and his Deck hand Cross was one of the friendliest guys Iโve had on a charter (18th straight year fishing down here) thanks for a great day on the water! Iโll be bringing my family back to see yall next year.
We were just looking to catch some fish during our 5hr morning trip, not hunting anything specific. Captain Carson and first mate Ty suggested we troll for Spanish mackerel, then bottom fish, and finish up looking to hook a shark. And thatโs exactly what happened.
We caught a few trolling, missed more than we got in the boat as we headed to a spot to bottom fish. We ended up catching a variety of fish including some we kept as bait. We reeled in a couple dogfish too, before relocating one last time to look for something bigger. Thatโs exactly what happened as we ended the day with my son landing a 5โ hammerhead. What a day!
When we make it back this way, weโll definitely book with Fish Hook Charters again, and highly recommend to anyone else thinking about fishing in the North Myrtle Beach area!
