We booked with Lucky Strike last minute when our original charter won’t reply to my messages the day before the trip. Captain Elliott was very fast to respond and saved our fishing trip. The boat is in very good condition, lots of room with a bathroom. We targeted Black Sea Bass. I caught 37, our group of 3 caught over 70 with a lot of keepers. The captain and first mate was absolutely wonderful. The captain put us on the fish when other smaller boats struggled to find them. The first mate was nice to chat with and knows his job well. I highly recommend them, especially if you have kids or teenagers. To top of the trip, the Captain recommended a fresh seafood shack not far from the dock. We got some awesome fresh shrimp to add to our sea bass dinner. Going back to Myrtle Beach end of June, we are looking forward to fishing with Lucky Strike again.

At 7 am we meet ED and his first mate Mongo at calabash. It was quite cold out and dark. But they were ready to go with good spirit. It was 55 degrees outside and I should have brought clovers and warmer cloths. But off we went the four of us. The cabin area of the boat was large with a 4 person dinette and a large L shape bench seat across from the dinette. One bathroom in the bow of the boat that was clean. Boat was very organized and clean first mate by Mongo. After the brief introduction Captain Ed pulled away from the dock and set course for our fishing trip. In about 20 minutes we were fishing.  We setup to catch Spanish Mackerel. We caught 10 fish in total and then we moved on to Shark fish. Yes shark fishing. Using a couple of the Spanish Mackerel for bait we caught three sharks. One of which I caught was a hammer head. Our was than up so we headed back to the docks. At the docks Mongo cleaned and bagged the fish. Make sure you bring a cooler for you catch and food. I would also suggest the 6 hour trip.
They did a great job!
Great dolphin watch!
Yes the boat is old but fast, 600 hp single engine that gets you the fishing spots quickly. 3 fishing seats at the stern.

A good time was had by all, from my 78 year old dad to my 15 year old nephew. My dad had a stroke a couple of years ago and can’t get around without a walker or a cane. When I contacted Captain Ed with my concerns regarding trying to safely take my dad fishing, he knew exactly how to make it work. He and Brian made getting dad on and off the boat absolutely seamless, and if dad wanted to walk around on the boat, Brian was immediately at the ready to help move my dad safely from point a to point b.  I’m no expert on deep sea fishing, but as far as I’m concerned, Captain Ed and Brian (Mungo) are 2 of the kindest men in the business! They knew exactly where the Spanish mackerel and shark were, made sure everyone caught fish and everyone had a great time! I’ll absolutely be a repeat customer, and I cannot thank them enough for giving our family the opportunity for these memories with my dad.

This was by far our favorite fishing charter we have ever had! The boat was perfect and roomy for a family fishing trip with five adults and two kids (age 3 and 5).  Captain Ed was friendly and personable and discussed our fishing options to determine what we wanted to catch before heading out. The first mate, Mongo, was awesome with our group and the kids absolutely loved him, he even rigged up a fish on our 3 year olds pole so he could think he caught his own fish!  Everyone caught plenty of fish to take home and Mongo cleaned our fish so all we had to do was cook it!  Captain Ed and Mongo went above and beyond to ensure we had the perfect day, and as an added bonus they even took us to see Dolphins up close and personal on the ride home. We highly recommend Lucky Strike Charters and will be back again!

We caught lots of Spanish mackerel and six Atlantic sharpnose sharks on a six-hour nearshore trip in late August. The first mate was very friendly and answered dozens of questions from our three kids. The inside space on the boat was outstanding. Table with two benches, a large L-shaped seating area, and three beds down the stairs. Three of the six of us ended up a touch sea sick as seas were rough. We simultaneously took restorative and comfortable naps inside. We’ve been on lots of charters. This is a great one. And by far our favorite boat we’ve been on.
