What would you recommend to anglers fishing in Murrells Inlet, South Carolina for the first time?

Late May...be prepared to be hot. Go early. Have fun. If you chose a Guide, 100% recommend Fishn' Freshwater Charter

If fishing this area for the first time, find a local fisherman who is trustworthy and knows the area. That will be key to ensuring a positive experience that maximizes the potential to catch fish.

Support the locals. Charters Dining (many excellent choices) Fish mongers (we like Harrelson's) Have fun!

Book a charter. They know where the fish are and how to catch them. Do your homework and make sure the captain is licensed and boat is safe.

Make sure you know where the charter is located. The marsh walk is not clearly labeled. Boats are behind the restaurants.

The weather plays a big part in any fishing trip. Crazy Girl Charters is a great trip for first timers. Fishing in the creeks etc. Is easy when the ocean is rough.

Easy access and Crazy Sister Marina makes parking validation so easy. Just scan the code in the parking lot then go in and they will give you a validation word to put in through a text. Super easy, super quick!!

Listen to your captain, they know how to help you hook them and get them in without loosing them.

Yes, I would recommend this as a first time experience. Inlet is calm compared to many.

Get in touch with Next LvL Fishing and book your trip today you won't regret it.

great time with lots of fish. everywhere we looked people were pulling in fish.

Fishing was good, but again we went two days after a hurricane so the water was a little rough.

Do not book with fishbookers go right to charter itself. Lon story on them better not told.

Just sit back and enjoy the time and listen to the Captain and you will be successful

Hook up with On the Fly fishing. Captain Jimmy was great. Would highly recommend.

IT was a fun experience, mother nature didnt cooperate. No ones fault but hers! :-)

Be patience, the captain and mate will take you to where the fish are!!!! The rest is up to them

Temperature and weather can affect fishing. Earlier in the day was preferred by us.

Listen to your captain, & dress for the weather, we were prepared for anything ?

I have been fishing out of MI before. We.did not cat.alot of fish during this trip

Book with catch 1 sport fishing. This experience was not what we was expecting it was a lot better.

Like anywhere the Captain puts you on the fish but sometimes they just don't bite

Don't fish after a major storm. We fished after Hurricane Dorian hit and did not catch a thing

Great family friendly experience. Would definitely rebook future trips with this outfit.

Fish in the spring or fall. Prices are way to high to go out and not catch fish you want.

Don't expect to catch a bunch of fish during the middle of the hot summer and ocean conditions

Make sure your captain has experience fishing these waters. Local reef's are overfished.

Look to catch fish, not monster fish. Be aware of the tides, and fish with an expert like Jason

Communicate with your Captain prior to the trip tp ensure you have a great experience.

Enjoy yourself! And remember a bad day fishing still beats a good day working.
