JOHN HORSTMAN
Step aboard with All Hooked Up Fishing Charters and experience what 30+ years of fishing expertise feels like on the water. Captain John, a retired police officer and proud US Marine Corps veteran, has been casting lines since childhood. After retirement, he turned his lifelong passion into a full-time adventure, creating a charter that welcomes families, friends, and fishing enthusiasts of all levels year-round in Murrells Inlet.
Your trip takes place on a 22’ Sea Hunt, built for both comfort and productivity on the water. With room for up to 6 guests, this vessel comes equipped with a live bait tank, cooler, and even a private toilet—so whether you’re heading out for a few hours or spending a full day at sea, you’ll have everything you need to stay comfortable. Captain John makes sure that every detail is handled, so you can focus on fishing and making memories.
Depending on your goals, you can stay close to the inlet or venture up to 25 miles offshore. Inshore waters deliver favorites like Flounder, Redfish, Spanish Mackerel, Kingfish, and Black Drum, while offshore grounds open opportunities for bigger action. Each trip is tailored to your preferences, whether you want to reel in dinner, chase a trophy, or simply enjoy a day on the water with your crew.
Families are always welcome aboard. Kids of all ages can join the fun, and if you let the crew know in advance, they’ll have the right-sized life jackets ready. Safety and enjoyment are always the top priorities, and Captain John works hard to ensure every trip is memorable from start to finish.
All the fishing gear you’ll need is included, along with bottled water to keep you refreshed. You’re encouraged to bring your favorite snacks and beverages, plus sunscreen and sunglasses for extra comfort. At the end of the trip, the captain will clean and prepare your catch, so you can take it straight to one of the local restaurants where it can be cooked fresh—true sea-to-table dining!
With decades of experience, a veteran’s dedication, and a true love for fishing, All Hooked Up Fishing Charters is ready to show you the very best of Murrells Inlet’s waters. Whether it’s your first time holding a rod or your hundredth fishing trip, Captain John will put you in the right spot at the right time. Book your adventure today and discover why so many guests leave with full coolers, big smiles, and stories they’ll never forget.
