Salty Hooker Fishing Charters
Full-Day Offshore Fishing Charters from Murrells Inlet
On a full day, I’ve got ten hours to work with. We leave Marlin Quay Marina at 7 a.m. and usually run 40–55 miles offshore. That extra time gives me room to fish deeper reefs, wrecks and natural bottom, then make a move if I see a better shot at the fish you came for.

What we fish for
We’ll look for Vermilion Snapper, Triggerfish, Scamp and Gag Grouper, and King Mackerel. Mahi or Wahoo can show up when we get the right water.
If the troll is working, we’ll stick with it. If there’s a better bite down deep, we’ll drop baits. A full day gives us time to do both when the conditions line up.
When I’d book the full day
If you want more time to work different spots or go looking for bigger fish, I’d go with the ten-hour trip. The extra time comes in handy when the first spot is quiet or the best bite is farther out.
Let us know what you’d most like to catch. I’ll use that to make a plan, then adjust it based on what the ocean gives us that day.
What’s the difference between half-day and full-day charters?
My advice for a ten-hour trip
I like to make the run when I have a reason. Good water and good bottom matter more to me than the number of miles on the screen.
