Captain Matt runs one of the top-rated offshore fishing charters out of Myrtle Beach, and this 6-hour deep water adventure is exactly what serious anglers are looking for. We're talking about a real fishing trip here – 20 to 30 miles offshore where the water turns that deep blue and the fish get bigger and meaner. You'll be aboard a reliable 32-foot Boston Whaler that can handle the open ocean swells and get you to the productive waters where the action happens. This isn't some touristy harbor cruise – we're going where the locals go to fill coolers and make memories.
Once we clear the inlet and hit those offshore waters, you'll feel the difference immediately. The boat rides smooth through the swells, and Captain Matt knows exactly where to set up based on current conditions, bait movement, and what's been biting lately. We'll start with some trolling action, pulling lures and bait through the water column to target the pelagic species that cruise these waters. King mackerel, cobia, and barracuda are always on the prowl out here, and when they hit, you'll know it. After working the trolling spread, we'll anchor up over some productive bottom structure for the second half of our fishing strategy. This is where things get interesting for bottom fishing enthusiasts – dropping rigs down 60 to 100 feet to where the black seabass, flounder, and other reef dwellers hang out. The boat accommodates up to 4 anglers comfortably, so everyone gets plenty of room to fight fish and work the rails without getting tangled up.
The trolling game out here is all about covering water and presenting the right baits at the right speeds. We'll run a spread of planers, downriggers, and surface baits to hit different depths where the fish are feeding. King mackerel love those flashy spoons and cigar minnows, while cobia will crush just about anything that looks like a crab or baitfish. The captain provides all the tackle you'll need – from the heavy trolling rods down to the lighter bottom fishing setups. When we transition to bottom fishing, we're talking about using conventional reels loaded with enough line to reach the structure below. Circle hooks, cut bait, and bottom rigs designed to get down fast and stay put in the current. You'll learn to feel the difference between a fish bite and just bouncing bottom – it's a skill that separates the weekend warriors from the real anglers. The boat's fish finder technology helps us locate productive ledges, wrecks, and natural bottom where fish congregate to feed.

King mackerel are the crown jewel of this offshore fishery, and for good reason. These silver bullets can stretch 20 to 40 pounds and make blistering runs that'll test your drag system and your arms. They're most active during the warmer months from April through October, cruising the temperature breaks and following bait schools. When a king hits your trolled bait, there's no mistaking it – they'll scream line off your reel and jump clear out of the water. The meat is excellent eating when prepared fresh, with firm white fillets that grill up perfectly.
Cobia are another customer favorite that patrol these offshore waters, especially around structure and floating debris. These brown sharks (they're not actually sharks) can push 30 to 50 pounds and fight like freight trains once hooked. They're curious fish that will often follow the boat, giving you multiple chances to present a bait. Cobia season runs strong from April through September, and they're considered some of the best eating fish in the Atlantic. The fillets are thick, white, and taste similar to grouper.
Black seabass dominate the bottom fishing action and are perfect for anglers who want consistent action and great table fare. These fish range from keeper size at 13 inches up to hefty 4-pounders that really bend the rod. They're year-round residents of the offshore structure, though the bigger ones seem to bite best during the cooler months. Seabass have aggressive feeding behavior and will hit cut bait, squid, or small jigs dropped to the bottom. They're excellent for beginners because they bite readily and fight hard for their size.
Flounder are the flatfish prize of the bottom fishing game, lying camouflaged on sandy bottoms waiting to ambush passing prey. Summer flounder (fluke) can reach doormat proportions of 5 to 8 pounds in these offshore waters, making them a trophy catch that also happens to be one of the finest eating fish in the ocean. They require a bit more finesse than seabass, preferring live or fresh cut bait presented just off the bottom. The strike is often subtle – just a heavy feeling on the line – but the fight is bulldogging strength all the way to the boat.

You're not just buying a boat ride; you're getting access to 20-plus years of local knowledge about weather patterns, fish behavior, and the most productive fishing spots within 30 miles of the beach
