Fishing w/ Capt. John

4 Hour Trip – Inshore/Nearshore

We had a fabulous time with Captain John of Lil' Hooker Fishing Charters in Murrells Inlet, SC. From the moment we stepped on the boat, Capt. John made us feel welcome, relaxed, and ready for a great day of fishing. He is knowledgeable, personable, and clearly loves what he does. We fished with our 10 year-old son, and Capt. John was fantastic with him. He taught him about caring for the gear, respecting the rules of the water, being mindful of others, and of course all about fishing! We pulled up a sting ray and Capt. John showed my son how to hold it properly to not get hurt and let him touch it before safely releasing it back into the water. Capt. John knew exactly where to find the fish - even though the other boaters we passed were not having luck. We did! Capt. John explained the currents and why the fish were biting where he took us. Capt. John made the experience fun, safe, and stress-free. The boat was clean and well-equipped. Capt. John arrived on time and kept us fishing up to the last minute. He took care of the gear, bait, cleaned the catch for us, and told us how to cook them to perfection. We had a great day - and an even better dinner! We had a great day with Capt. John. We highly recommend Capt. John with Lil' Hooker Fishing Charters for anyone looking for a great day of fishing! Thank you Capt. John. We will definitely be back!

    ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review for Captain John

    2 Hour Trip – Inshore • 3 adults

    We had an awesome experience with Captain John on our 2‑hour fishing trip. He reached out the day before to confirm everything and make sure we were fully set, which I really appreciated. When we arrived, he was ready to go and made us feel welcome right away. The trip started a little slow, but Captain John clearly knows his stuff — he had us on the fish in no time. He was patient, friendly, and never made us feel rushed. In fact, when the bite picked up, he even gave us extra time so we could keep fishing. That meant a lot and made the whole experience even better. Highly recommend Captain John if you’re looking for a great day on the water.

    Great trip out!

    6 Hour Trip – Inshore/Nearshore • 3 adults

    We were a group of 3 and two of us are novices. The Captain took us to some great spots and we left with enough fish to feed a family of 7. Would recommend 100% 2 fishers from Ohio and our Second Mate was from Georgia.

    Early morning fishing

    2 Hour Trip – Inshore • 4 adults

    We had a quick morning trip on the water with Captain John. Caught a wide variety of fish topped off with a couple of really nice drum and a redfish. Captain was enjoyable to fish with, cleaned our catch and we will plan a longer trip next time.
