Ratings & Reviews Summary
July 11, 2025
Our group of 11 had an incredible 6-hour adventure today under the expert guidance of Captain Lawrence and first mate Mike. Our excursion was divided into two exciting segments - the first half dedicated to bottom fishing, and the second half devoted to inshore shark fishing. Captain Lawrence's skillful navigation ensured we stayed on the fish throughout the day, while first mate Mike tirelessly ensured we were well-equipped with bait and efficiently managed the cutting and handling of the fish we reeled in. In the end, our efforts paid off handsomely, yielding an impressive catch of approximately 40-50 Black Sea bass, a sizable barracuda, and four remarkable sharks, two of which measured an impressive 5.5-6 feet. To top it off, Captain Lawrence and Mike expertly filleted our entire catch, allowing us to return home with an abundance of delicious seafood. Beyond their angling expertise, both Captain Lawrence and Mike left a lasting impression as two of the friendliest individuals to share the water with, engaging seamlessly with our entire family. The boat provided ample fishing space for everyone, and the strategically placed canopy proved indispensable, offering much-needed shade on a particularly hot day. Our experience was so exceptional that we are already planning our next outing with them on our next visit to Myrtle Beach. We enthusiastically recommend their services, particularly for larger groups and families, as their boat can comfortably accommodate up to 20 passengers.

Captain Lawrence stands as the ultimate choice for all your fishing expeditions, whether you're planning a Gulf Stream adventure or a shorter 4, 6, or 8-hour trip. Our association with Lawrence spans several years, with us consistently booking at least one (sometimes even two to three, depending on the weather) fishing trips annually. And we fully intend to maintain this tradition for years to come. Our day usually begins bright and early, a testament to Lawrence's commitment to maximizing our fishing experience. Without fail, we return with a satisfying haul of fish, all the while relishing the warm hospitality and unwavering attention provided by both Lawrence and his capable mate, Mike. What sets Lawrence apart is his extraordinary dedication - he's not just your run-of-the-mill captain; he's out there ensuring you're not only reeling in fish but also having a genuinely enjoyable time. For those seeking a remarkable and family-friendly adventure, a desire to reel in plenty of sizable fish, and the potential to hook that fish of a lifetime (think Mahi Mahi, wahoo, cobia, king, and more), your best course of action is to schedule a trip with Lawrence of Long Line Charters. He consistently delivers, and we eagerly anticipate numerous adventures with him in the future. Captain Lawrence, here's to many more memorable fishing escapades!

Initially, we held some reservations when Mike, the Mate, mentioned that our fishing adventure would include pursuing large sharks, especially given that we had our young children with us, aged 11 and 7. However, Captain Lawrence and Mike provided us with assurances that everything would proceed smoothly, and they certainly delivered on that promise! Our journey to the open ocean was brief and uneventful, with Lawrence at the helm. Mike took the opportunity to acquaint us with the vessel and safety protocols while also preparing the net for bait. The moment we engaged with that net was an absolute delight. Mike managed to coax a couple of the teenagers on board to assist in pulling it in, resulting in the most uproarious and amusing sight that my wife and I witnessed during our entire vacation. Even my daughter decided to sit in the live well, attempting to gain better leverage but ended up drenched instead. It was a moment of shared laughter and bonding. As we eagerly watched, Lawrence and Mike emptied the net onto the deck, causing a flurry of activity as the kids attempted to corral the fish we intended to use as bait. Meanwhile, we were all captivated by the fascinating presence of a horseshoe crab. This hands-on experience with sea life far surpassed what we'd encountered at the local aquarium. While we continued to absorb knowledge about the various creatures brought up from the depths, Lawrence explained the fishing process. Just as he was detailing the expected events, it happened—a rod suddenly bent in half, catching us all by surprise. Little did we anticipate the swiftness of this thrilling encounter. This unexpected catch set the pace for the following couple of hours. At one point, we had three sharks hooked simultaneously, and we successfully reeled all of them in. Although we were only permitted to keep one shark for the boat, we managed to land an impressive total of 13. The proficiency and expertise displayed by Captain Lawrence and Mike were truly commendable. We had planned a substantial day at the beach after our fishing excursion, but we found ourselves utterly exhausted from all the reeling and contentedly full from savoring our freshly caught shark. As a result, most of us opted to relax around our vacation condo instead. Such was the impact of our experience that we're eagerly anticipating our next adventure, scheduled for this coming July.

Our morning with Long Line Charters was truly remarkable! Our adventure began with the exciting catch of Spanish mackerel, followed by the preparation of bait in the net for our shark fishing expedition. The entire crew, including the captain and mate, provided exceptional assistance, showing remarkable patience and knowledge, particularly when it came to our inquisitive 6-year-old, who had an abundance of questions throughout the trip. Our group consisted of four adults and three kids, and I must say, every single one of us had a fantastic time, despite a few bouts of sea sickness. Our efforts paid off, and we ended up reeling in an impressive four sharks, with one of them being substantial enough to keep. The experience was so enjoyable that we're now in the early stages of planning an annual fishing trip to continue these fantastic adventures.

It was an outstanding journey that delighted everyone! Lawrence and Mike truly excel in their field. The experience was exceptional, and the fishing was truly remarkable. I cannot emphasize enough the overall quality of this entire adventure. Having fished in various locations, from the Carolinas to South Florida, I can confidently say that Long Line Charters is my absolute favorite choice for offshore bottom fishing adventures.

We've had the pleasure of embarking on our second excursion with Long Line, and similar to our previous experience, they expertly guided us to the big catches. Lawrence and Mike make a remarkable team, smoothly transitioning from preparing bait to the thrilling pursuit of fish. We wholeheartedly endorse them for any of your fishing charter requirements, and we're eagerly anticipating our return for more memorable adventures.
