Set out from Murrells Inlet with Captain Sully for a day of targeted inshore and nearshore fishing—choose a 4- or 8-hour trip to chase Speckled Trout, Redfish, Sheepshead, Black Drum and Flounder in the estuary or run out to nearby reefs for King and Spanish Mackerel and Cobia. The trips are family friendly, all fishing gear and safety equipment are provided, and the captain will clean and bag your catch for dinner.

Outing Highlights

THE BOAT

A nimble 24' center console that gets you to the fish

You’ll fish from the 24-foot Desperado, a center-console rigged with a 250 HP Yamaha and modern navigational electronics. It’s spacious enough for up to six anglers and set up to keep you on productive water quickly.

THE SPECIES

Estuary targets and nearshore reef runs

Expect a mix of inshore species—Speckled Trout, Redfish, Sheepshead, Black Drum and Flounder—plus runs to nearshore reefs where King Mackerel, Spanish Mackerel and Cobia are pursued.

THE FAMILY-FEEL

Everything provided and your catch readied for the table

The captain supplies bait, tackle, rods and reels, life jackets and saltwater fishing licenses; children (5 and older) are welcome, and the crew will clean and bag your fish at no extra charge.

What the day feels like

What the day feels like

Mornings here are a rhythm of idling through the inlet, dropping lines over flats and structure, then opening the throttle for a reef run when the bite calls for it. Whether you’re teaching a child to tie a knot or watching a rod arc from a nearshore takedown, the trip is built around easy access to productive water, all gear on board and a captain who handles the technical work so you can fish.
