Details

Murrells Inlet, South Carolina, is a standout destination for saltwater fishing lovers, and Reel Salty Fishing Charters LLC offers an exceptional private fishing experience here. Located just south of Myrtle Beach, this coastal town is renowned for its rich estuaries and access to deep blue Atlantic waters. The fishing trips with Reel Salty Fishing Charters focus on targeting a wide variety of species including king mackerel, Spanish mackerel, bluefish, grouper, red snapper, and sea bass, all within a short distance from the shore.

Captain Bob and Captain Jeff bring decades of fishing knowledge and an approachable style that makes even beginners feel confident on the water. They take guests out to man-made reefs and natural ocean spots roughly 10 to 11 miles offshore, where the action is consistently strong and varied. The charters are well suited for groups of different skill levels, as the captains patiently assist with baiting lines and instruct on techniques to maximize catches.

What really sets Reel Salty apart is their ability to adapt to changing conditions. For example, when wind or water clarity isn’t ideal for targeting a specific species like king mackerel, they quickly shift to reef fishing spots, ensuring an active and productive day. The crew’s passion for marine life is evident through their willingness to share knowledge about local fish and ocean ecology, enriching the overall experience.

Murrells Inlet itself is a prime location for anglers because of its proximity to both inshore estuaries and offshore reefs, providing an unmatched diversity of fishing opportunities along with scenic views of South Carolina’s coastline. Visitors can expect days filled with excitement, education, and plenty of fish catches in one of the East Coast’s top fishing hubs.

Whether you’re planning a casual outing or a serious fishing trip, Reel Salty Fishing Charters delivers an authentic taste of Murrells Inlet’s vibrant fishing culture, making it a must-book for anglers of all levels in the United States.
