Murrells Inlet, South Carolina, is a unique gateway to some of the most productive freshwater fishing waters in the Southeast, with Fishin Freshwater Charters & River Tours, LLC standing out as a premier outfitter. Captained by Todd, a seasoned angler and local expert, this operation specializes in hands-on bass fishing trips on the Waccamaw River and surrounding waterways. The river itself is a rugged, largely undeveloped corridor of cypress swamps and hardwood forests, offering anglers both a challenging and serene setting where fish like largemouth bass and crappie thrive.

What sets Fishin Freshwater Charters apart is Captain Todd’s deep knowledge of the river’s rhythms and his passion for sharing skills that go beyond casual fishing. Guests repeatedly praise his patience and instruction, making these trips accessible to novices and rewarding for experienced anglers alike. Whether you’re fighting a strong bass or spotting a rare bowfin, Todd’s familiarity with secret fishing holes and his eco-focused river commentary add layers to the experience. The boat is more than a fishing platform; it’s a moving classroom that cuts through moss-draped branches and soft morning light, where every cast counts.

The freshwater charters offer a blend of adventure and education wrapped in genuine hospitality. Family groups, couples, or solo anglers find the pace ideal—engaging yet calm, with abundant wildlife sightings including birds of prey and turtles. Early spring and fall are prime seasons for bass, while quieter mid-summer mornings offer murky peace and steady catches. Murrells Inlet’s proximity to Myrtle Beach means visitors can combine coastal tourism with inland freshwater adventure seamlessly.

In a region best known for saltwater trips, Fishin Freshwater Charters brings a rare, authentic freshwater experience that highlights South Carolina’s river ecosystems and recreational diversity. For anglers seeking more than just a day on the water, Captain Todd’s trips deliver skill, scenery, and a true connection to the slow-flowing waters of the Waccamaw.
