So grab your sunscreen and let's get after it!

What to Expect on the Water

When you step aboard our fully-equipped offshore rig, you're in for a day of non-stop fishing excitement. We'll cruise out to the prime fishing grounds where the big boys play, about 40-60 miles offshore. Once we're in the zone, it's all hands on deck as we deploy a spread of lines and start trolling for the pelagic predators. You'll learn the ropes from our seasoned crew, from how to work the gear to the best techniques for landing that trophy fish. And don't worry if you're new to this – we've got patience in spades and love nothing more than seeing a first-timer reel in a whopper. With a max of 6 guests, you'll get plenty of personalized attention and time on the rods. Just remember, the fish don't take lunch breaks, so neither do we – be ready for 12 full hours of fishing action!

Top Catches This Season

Myrtle Beach's offshore waters are teeming with game fish, and we've got the inside track on where they're biting. We'll be using a mix of techniques to target different species throughout the day. Trolling is our bread and butter for pelagics like Mahi Mahi and Wahoo – we'll have lines out with colorful lures skipping across the surface, mimicking their favorite baitfish. When we hit a weedline or find some floating debris, get ready for the reels to start screaming! For bottom fish like Red Snapper and Grouper, we'll switch gears and drop heavy jigs or live bait to the structure down below. It's a different kind of fight, but just as thrilling when you're muscling up a big one from the depths. Our arsenal includes top-notch Penn and Shimano rods and reels, spooled with heavy-duty line to handle whatever decides to take a bite. And don't sweat it if you're not a pro – we'll show you the ropes and have you fishing like a champ in no time.

Species You'll Want to Hook

Mahi Mahi, or Common Dolphinfish, are the rockstars of offshore fishing. These acrobatic fish are known for their stunning blue-green and gold colors, and they put on one heck of a show when hooked. They're fast growers and can reach up to 30 pounds in their first year. Mahi are most abundant in the warmer months, from late spring through early fall. Anglers love 'em not just for the fight, but for their delicious, firm white meat that's perfect for the grill.

Wahoo are the speed demons of the sea, capable of short bursts up to 60 mph! These sleek, torpedo-shaped fish are prized for their blistering runs and tasty flesh. They're often found near the same areas as Mahi Mahi but tend to swim a bit deeper. Late summer and fall are prime Wahoo seasons off Myrtle Beach. When a Wahoo hits, hold on tight – these fish are known for their initial scorching run that can peel off hundreds of yards of line in seconds.

Cobia, sometimes called "lemonfish," are the bulldogs of the ocean. They're curious fish that often swim right up to the boat, but don't let their seemingly docile nature fool you. Once hooked, Cobia put up a stubborn, powerful fight that can last for over an hour. They start showing up in late spring and stick around through summer. Cobia are opportunistic feeders and will hit just about anything that looks like an easy meal.

Red Snapper are the prize of the deep, with their bright red color and delicious white meat. They're typically found hanging around reefs and wrecks, and can grow to impressive sizes – 20-30 pounders aren't uncommon. The season for Red Snapper is tightly regulated, but when it's open, it's game on! These fish require some muscle to pull up from the depths, but the reward is well worth the effort.

Albacore Tuna, while smaller than their Yellowfin and Bluefin cousins, are no less exciting to catch. They're fast swimmers and often travel in large schools, which means when you find them, the action can be non-stop. Albacore are most common in the spring and fall as they migrate through our waters. They're fantastic eating fish, known for their light, mild flavor that's perfect for sashimi or grilling.

Gag Grouper are the heavyweights of the bottom-dwelling world. These ambush predators hang out near reefs and rocky bottoms, waiting to inhale anything that swims by. Gags can grow to over 50 pounds, and when you hook into a big one, it's like trying to lift a Volkswagen off the ocean floor. They're most active in the cooler months, from fall through spring. The fight might be slow and steady, but landing a big Gag is always a thrill – and they make for some mighty fine eating, too!
