Captain Matthew Long, a native of Charlotte, North Carolina, began his fishing journey in freshwater before discovering his passion for saltwater angling. After earning his degree from UNC Greensboro, he relocated to Myrtle Beach, where he spent several years managing the Murrells Inlet Outpost before transitioning to a full-time mate. His love for offshore fishing took off upon experiencing the incredible deep-sea opportunities Myrtle Beach has to offer.
Now at the helm of The Reel Myrtle Beach Fishing Charters, Captain Matthew invites anglers to explore the stunning waters of South Carolina and immerse themselves in the region’s abundant marine life. He ensures each trip is an unforgettable adventure, whether you're an experienced fisherman or just starting out. Guests will step aboard a top-of-the-line vessel for their offshore excursion.

Anglers will have the opportunity to target a diverse range of species, including Mahi Mahi, Blackfin Tuna, Snapper, Gray Triggerfish, Wahoo, Grouper, Amberjack, and Cobia. With heavy tackle provided, guests can engage in bottom fishing, deep-sea fishing, trolling, spinning, jigging, and popping. Whether aiming for a trophy catch or a fresh seafood dinner, guests are welcome to keep their catch.

Ratings & Reviews Summary

We had an amazing time on this trip! Captain Matt and Greg were incredibly knowledgeable and took us to some fantastic fishing spots. As soon as our bait hit the water, we were reeling in fish! We landed some massive Red Snappers (which we had to release, unfortunately), plenty of big Black Sea Bass, an Atlantic Sharpnose Shark (also released), and a variety of other fish. We even brought home a cooler full to Nebraska! The water was a bit rough at first for us land lovers, but it didn’t take away from the experience. Huge thanks to Matt and Greg for an unforgettable adventure!

Captain Matt and Greg were outstanding! We caught multiple fish and a variety of species throughout the trip. At 55, I felt completely comfortable even when the seas got rough. Captain Matt took an alternate route back to ensure a smoother ride, showing just how much he cares about his passengers' comfort. This crew is top-notch, and I highly recommend this trip. We’re already planning our next adventure—a Gulf Stream trip with them!

Matt was amazing! He put us right on the fish, and we had an incredible time. To top it off, we cooked our catch for dinner—nothing beats that! Highly recommend this trip!

Captain Cody made our trip unforgettable! His exceptional people skills, boating expertise, and ability to put us on the fish made for an exciting and fun-filled day. He treated us like family, and I can’t wait to book with him again in the near future. I’ll be spreading the word to all anglers in Central Indiana to book through FishingBooker.com and highly recommend Captain Cody. My kids will cherish this experience for a lifetime, thanks to his amazing ability to connect with them!
