About Your Trip

Whether you're an experienced angler chasing your next personal best or a first-timer eager to learn the ropes, Captain Ryan has you covered on this action-packed fishing adventure out of Murrells Inlet, South Carolina!

Climb aboard Captain Ryan’s 24’ Sea Hunt center console—a versatile and comfortable vessel built for both seasoned pros and curious beginners alike. With room for up to six guests, this boat offers a spacious deck to move around freely as you
fight fish, plus a T-top for shade when you need a break from the Carolina sunshine. Outfitted with top-tier gear like a GPS, Fishfinder, Live Bait Well, and a wireless trolling motor, this boat is dialed in to help you stay on the fish.

Murrells Inlet is a dynamic fishery where calm backwaters meet open ocean, creating a year-round playground for inshore and nearshore fishing. Captain Ryan’s trips tap into everything these waters have to offer—from back bay honey holes to nearshore reefs and wrecks. You’ll be targeting local favorites like Redfish, Flounder, Black Drum, and Spotted Seatrout, as well as Bluefish, Spanish Mackerel, Kingfish, and even the occasional Cobia. If you’re up for a tug-of-war with something toothier, Blacktip and Bonnethead Sharks are also on the list!

Captain Ryan brings a full arsenal of fishing techniques to the table, including bottom fishing, light tackle, jigging, popping, and trolling—so no matter what’s biting, you’ve got the right tools for the job. And don’t be surprised if you start the day by chasing down schools of live bait with a cast net. It’s all part of the fun and can make a huge difference in landing your target species.

All the essentials are included with your trip: rods, reels, tackle, lures, and even bottled water to keep you hydrated. A South Carolina fishing license is covered for everyone on board, and Captain Ryan will happily clean and fillet your catch at no extra charge. Just bring your favorite snacks, lotion-style sunscreen (spray is a no-go), and leave the bananas at home—seriously, they’re bad luck!

From laid-back family outings to hardcore angling pursuits, a trip with Captain Ryan offers the perfect blend of learning, excitement, and Southern hospitality. So come cast a line, soak in the scenery, and discover why fishing Murrells Inlet is one of South Carolina’s best-kept secrets!
