The engine hums, the Atlantic opens, and the boat slips through the low morning haze as gulls wheel overhead. On a three-and-a-half-hour trip out of Myrtle Beach, Captain Quick guides a small group into the productive stretch between sandy inlets and the nearshore reef. The sea pushes a steady rhythm against the hull, and the sonar blips—the modern pulse of old-school angling—signal where to drop a line.

Book morning departures
Early departures often mean calmer seas and more active fish; aim for first light when possible.
Bring a cooler
A large cooler preserves your catch and doubles as storage for drinks—ice is essential.
Motion-sickness prep
If you get seasick, take medication before boarding and sit mid-boat to minimize movement.
Dress for sun and spray
Wear breathable layers, a brimmed hat, and polarized sunglasses to see fish and reduce glare.
Polarized sunglasses
Reduce glare to spot bait and structure and protect your eyes from reflected sun.
