Family Fishing Fun in North Myrtle Beach
Hey there, fishing fans! Ready for a laid-back afternoon on the water with the whole crew? Captain Quick Fishing Charters has got you covered with our private family inshore fishing trip right here in North Myrtle Beach. We're talking 3 hours of quality time, fish-catching action, and memories that'll last way longer than your sunburn (don't forget that sunblock!). Whether you've got little anglers or seasoned pros in the family, this trip is perfect for everyone to wet a line and have a blast.
What to Expect on the Water
Picture this: you and your family, out on the calm inshore waters, with nothing but blue skies and the chance to reel in some awesome fish. We keep things easy-breezy on this trip. No need to worry about fishing licenses - we've got that covered. Just bring your favorite snacks, some cold drinks (moderate alcohol is cool, but let's skip the hard stuff and glass bottles), and get ready for some quality family time. Got kiddos? No problem! We've got child-sized life vests, or you can bring your own if you prefer. The inshore waters we'll be fishing are nice and calm, so it's perfect for everyone from Grandma to little Timmy to enjoy without worrying about choppy seas.
Fishing Know-How for Newbies
Never been fishing before? Don't sweat it! Your captain's got years of experience and knows all the best spots to drop a line. We'll set you up with all the gear you need and show you the ropes. We might do some light trolling, or we could anchor up and bottom fish - it all depends on what's biting that day. You'll learn how to bait your hook, cast your line, and most importantly, how to reel in a big one when it strikes. And trust me, there's nothing quite like seeing a kid's face light up when they catch their first fish. It's what makes this job the best in the world.
Top Catches This Season
Alright, let's talk fish. On our inshore trips, we're usually targeting a mix of species that'll give you a real taste of what North Myrtle Beach fishing is all about. Sheepshead, king mackerel, sea trout, greater amberjack, and cobia are all on the menu. Each one's got its own personality, and half the fun is not knowing what you might pull up next. One minute you could be wrestling with a hard-fighting amberjack, and the next you might be finessing a sneaky sea trout. That's the beauty of fishing - it keeps you on your toes!
Species You'll Want to Hook
Let's break down some of the fish you might meet on our trip:
Sheepshead: These guys are the tricksters of the sea. They've got human-like teeth (creepy, right?) that they use to crush barnacles and crabs. Catching them takes a bit of finesse, but man, are they tasty if you decide to keep one for dinner.
King Mackerel: Also known as "kings," these speedsters can make your reel scream. They're known for their blistering runs and aerial acrobatics. Spring and fall are prime time for kings, and they're a blast to catch.
Sea Trout: These spotted beauties are a favorite among locals. They're not huge, but they're wily and put up a good fight on light tackle. Dawn and dusk are magic hours for trout fishing, and they love to hang around structures in the water.
Greater Amberjack: We call 'em "reef donkeys" because they're strong as a mule and live around reefs. If you hook one, get ready for a workout. These powerhouses can weigh up to 100 pounds and will test your strength and stamina.
Cobia: These curious fish sometimes swim right up to the boat to check things out. They're known for their strong runs and tasty fillets. Late spring to early summer is prime cobia season, and landing one is always a highlight of any trip.
Why Anglers Keep Coming Back
You know what keeps folks coming back to fish with us? It's not just about catching fish (though that's pretty awesome). It's about those moments you can't plan for - like when your kid catches their first fish and can't stop grinning, or when Grandpa tells stories about the one that got away back in his day. It's about being out on the water, away from screens and schedules, just enjoying each other's company and the simple pleasure of fishing. And let's be real, it's also about the bragging rights when you show off your photos later!
Time to Book Your Spot
Alright, folks, if you're ready to make some waves (well, gentle ones - we are inshore fishing after all), it's time to get this show on the road. Our 3-hour afternoon trip is the perfect slice of fishing paradise for families looking to create some awesome memories together. Remember, we can take up to 5 people, so bring the whole gang! With your fishing license included, gear provided, and a captain who knows these waters like the back of their hand, all you need to do is show up ready for a good time. Don't let this chance for some quality family fun slip through your fingers like a slippery fish. Book your trip with Captain Quick Fishing Charters today, and let's get you and your crew out on the water for an afternoon of laughs, lines, and maybe even some lunkers. See you on the boat!
Learn more about the species
Cobia
Cobia are unique fish that often get mistaken for sharks due to their shape. They typically run 20-40 pounds but can reach over 100. You'll find them near buoys, wrecks, and other structure, often in 30-70 foot depths. Spring and early summer are prime as they migrate along the coast. Cobia are curious fish – they'll often swim right up to the boat to investigate. Anglers love their hard fights and excellent table fare. Sight fishing for cobia is a blast – scan the surface for their distinctive shape. When you spot one, toss a bucktail jig or live eel in front of it. Local tip: keep a heavy rod rigged and ready. When cobia show up, you often only get one shot before they disappear.
Greater Amberjack
Greater amberjacks are bruisers of the offshore world, commonly hitting 40-50 pounds with some topping 100. You'll find them around reefs, wrecks, and other structure in 60-240 foot depths. Spring and fall are peak seasons as they move to spawn. AJs are famous for their powerful fights – be ready for a battle that'll test your arms and back. They're not the best eating due to parasites, but the challenge makes them a prized catch. Live bait is king for amberjacks, but big jigs work too. Here's a local trick: when you hook one, get it coming up fast. If you let it run, it'll wrap you in the structure and break off.
King Mackerel
King mackerel, or kingfish, are speed demons of the ocean, rivaling wahoo for sheer velocity. Adults typically run 20-40 pounds but can top 90. Look for them in 40-150 foot depths, with bigger fish often hanging in deeper water. Kings migrate seasonally, showing up in our waters as temps warm. Trolling with live bait or artificials is the go-to method, but jigging can be effective too. Anglers prize kings for their blistering runs and acrobatic leaps. The meat is good eating, though it's high in mercury so moderation is key. For the best shot at a smoker king, try slow-trolling a live blue runner or menhaden. Keep that drag set light – these fish can smoke 100 yards of line in seconds!
Sea Trout
Sea trout, also called spotted or speckled trout, are a favorite inshore target. Most run 1-5 pounds, but gator trout over 10 pounds aren't unheard of. They love grass flats and shallow waters, especially at night. Winter pushes them into deeper holes and channels. Trout are ambush predators, so look for them around structure and depth changes. Spring and fall are prime seasons as water temps are ideal. Anglers enjoy their willingness to hit artificial lures and their delicate, flaky meat on the table. For best results, work a soft plastic slowly along the bottom or try a topwater plug at dawn. Local tip: On calm mornings, listen for their distinctive "pop" as they feed on the surface.
Sheepshead
Sheepshead are unique-looking fish with human-like teeth and a striped body, earning them the nickname "convict fish." They typically weigh 1-8 pounds and hang around structures like docks, bridges, and reefs. These sneaky bait-stealers are masters at nibbling without getting hooked, so you've got to be quick on the draw. Spring is prime time for sheepshead fishing when they gather to spawn. Anglers love targeting them for their tricky nature and excellent table fare. Their white, flaky meat is delicious but can be challenging to clean due to tough scales. To up your odds, use small hooks with natural baits like fiddler crabs or barnacles. My local tip: scrape some barnacles off pilings to create a chum slick and draw them in close.
