Myrtle beach shark fishing charter.

[4wanderingeyes]

I am planning on a shark fishing trip at Myrtle Beach, can anyone recommend a good charter? I had gone about 20 years ago, and had a great time, but the charter isn’t there anymore. So I would like a private charter that would take us out and catch some big ones. In the past we would follow the shrimp boats around, and we would catch many.

We went a year or two ago, but a storm rolled in so the fishing was a bust. We stay south of Myrtle Beach called Murrell's Inlet. There was a charter service right across from the house. Name of the place is Marlin Quay. I think their address is officially Garden City Beach. They had several different packages and the guy we went with (Making Wake was the boat....his daughter's name is wake....you do the math). Good guy and knows his stuff....ex-coast guard guy. We had a storm roll up and we was 7 mile off-shore. That doesn't seem like a long ways....until your in an open boat with rain beating down on you in rough water. He was willing to refund our entire trip....I would go back out with him in a heart beat.....even though we didn't catch any fish. I am not sure about sharks, but much of the fishing is seasonal....so call to find out if your going at the right time for the right type of fish. We just wanted to catch fish....any fish. There was another outfit called Crazy Sister Marina (much bigger operation)....they had options as well....we went parasailing with them. Very interesting activity as well. Lots of places to offer fishing down there. We had never been salt water fishing before so we had a blast and a memorable trip all the same.

I just booked the charter, Murrels Inlet Outlet was the charter. I also talked to the Capt, he said they have been catching 800-1200 lb tiger sharks every night. That is what we are after. Most people dont like to fish shark since they are garbage fish, but I like to catch big fish, that fight. I have caught sharks before, and love the fight. So I am back for more.

Let us know how it goes. We just wanted to catch fish.... The plan was to try Mackrel out at 7 mile and 5 mile and then if that didn't work maybe do some brackish water fishing or even switch up for shark. We wasn't going to keep anything....just like the fight and a different adventure.

But remember the captain isn’t targeting Sand tigers. You’re not allowed to target them.

Now if you happen to hook one while fishing for say a reef shark that’s perfectly OK.

we caught our first last night. Little guy about 6 foot, but man did he have a head full of teeth.

and to each their own. My son and I have fished just about exclusively for sharks all summer.
It’s all about the fun factor.

So I've been watching sharkfest this week. One of the shows was trying to diagnose the cause of the shark bite capital in florida. One of their theories was the sound produced when rockets are launched at the Cape. They did a test where they put a transducer in the water and broadcast a low frequency. Sure enough, sharks were attracted to the transducer.

While I'm sure it was not the intent of the liberal producers of the show, but I think they just invented a shark fishing tool!

I love fishing big fish, so if that is carp, catfish, tarpon, shark, sailfish, or tuna, I dont care. They will all go back in the water. Except I love to eat Mahi mahi, mmmm!

Ya, I love the look on waitress' faces when I order the dolphin. "Yes, I'll have the dolphinfish." I get gasps of horror. When I tell them the mahi mahi on the menu is dolfinfish they picture bottlenose and argue with me.

Every try Wahoo? I think that is my favorite.

 

[4wanderingeyes]

Wahoo is good as well, I will order either at restaurants if they have it.

Did they give you enough info to build me one?

exactly. We fished for big drum in the spring until the sharks arrived. I’m going to be curious how someone who knows what their doing fish’s for tigers. Take notes...

I've never seen it in restaurants around here. I've only seen in in the islands and it quickly became my favorite.

 

[Bill]

My boat won’t reach my favorite fish.

tuna. I’d eat it raw fresh caught with no problem.
mahi fresh.
mako shark fresh.

maybe a flounder but everything else is going home where it came from.

They gave you the frequency they used. Its just power and a transducer from there.
