Atlantic Seaboard Seafood goes beyond delicious food. It’s also great to catch!

Deep-sea fishing on the Atlantic shoreline is a great experience. For landlubbers, deep-sea fishing may seem difficult or complex.

It is a good idea to get your feet wet on a Voyager charter boat with a professional fishing guide. Captain Larry from Myrtle Beach provided us with a detailed overview of most things before we set sail on our maiden voyage.

Have a look and book your charter boat excursion.

What is the best time for a charter boat to go fishing?

All depends on the angler’s desires and needs. Charter fishing is best in the summer. However, her in Myrtle Beach the weather is mild all year around and great for fishing. Weather conditions are more likely to affect you if your visit is in the fall or spring. From Memorial Day through Labor Day, cab be best time to fish consistently is the summertime. Super Voyager sails all year around and the crowds are smaller in winter.

What fish is the most popular to catch?

Deep-sea fishing is the act of fishing off the coast in federal waters greater than nine miles. It includes reef fish like Red Snapper or Triggerfish. In the summer, you can also find migratory fish such as King Mackerel or Spanish Mackerel. Sometimes we get Mahi Mahi and a few Sailfish in the fall and winter months.

Do charter boat excursions require fishing licenses?

No. Anyone who fishes out of a private boat, or someone they know, must have a state fishing license. A fishing license is not required to fish from a charter boat. This type of fishing is permitted by the state and federal.

What is the maximum time we can stay on the water?

There are many options for charter fishermen. There are four-hour fishing trips to choose from. South Carolina’s most sought-after fishing charter is the six-hour fishing trip, or the ten-hour (full-day), fishing trip. Shorter trips, such as the four-hour or five-hour fishing charters, are popular during spring break and off-season. Some people offer trolling trips for four hours in the summer months. These trips are usually less expensive. Charter fishing trips are available for all.

How much does a charter boat excursion cost?

Below are two types of charters. There are two types: private and shared-expense charters.

Private charters permit you to bring six people aboard the boat. This is known as a private experience. In peak summer months, a 45′ Long Line Open Boat Trips 12 Hour Gulf Stream Bottom Fishing $175 per person. It is possible to catch more fish, and fish further offshore. Catching Red Beeliner Snappers, Grunts, Triggerfish, Grouper, Larger Ocean Sea Bass, Amberjack, Cobia, Porgies, Mahi Dolphin and King Mackerel.

The shared-expense, or walk-on charter, is another type. Anglers can pay a per person fee to access a boat or join other anglers.  There are two types of walk-ons. There are two types. The other is the party boat. These boats can accommodate anywhere from 15 to 50 persons. These boats offer a less premium fishing experience than private charters. These boats are affordable for novice anglers.  Seasickness can make it difficult to leave the area until you are ready to return home. These trips are a great way to get to know your sea legs and to decide if you want to spend more money on a boat charter or charter one.

What equipment should I bring on my charter boat excursion?

Each charter boat comes with its own rods and reels. If you’re left-handed or have a disability, you might be able to bring your own reel. The majority of people use traditional right-handed reels. However, some people might have left-handed reels.

Is it possible to bring alcohol on a charter boat trip?

Charters allow adults to drink. Breaking bottles can be a problem. Hard liquor should be avoided as it can pose a safety risk. Drinking too much can lead to liability. But people bring cold beer every day. This is quite common, but you’ll need to bring your own cooler in order to keep food and beverages cold.

Food and cold beverages are available for purchase in the galley. 

What happens if it rains on my charter boat excursion day?

Charter boats don’t usually have to worry about rain as the summer storms are often far away. We do work in areas where thunderstorms can occur, but we try to avoid them by choosing a route that isn’t directly affected by the storm. It doesn’t matter if it rains. If the captain says that the storm is likely to be severe, I would listen. Rain is not usually an issue. However, a rain check will be provided if it is expected to rain the entire day. Anglers with more experience will be better equipped to deal with rough seas and adverse weather.

Can I keep the large fish I catch?

If you want to keep your fish, the deckhand will place them in the cooler. The deckhand will bag and clean your fish when you return to dock. The fish can be taken home to make whatever you want.  The angler must inform the deckhand of your plans for keeping your catch before they are allowed onboard. When releasing a fish, you must practice responsible angling. To ensure the fish’s survival, you can either vent it to prevent any bends from occurring or use a fish descender (such a Seaquilizer). All fish are responsible for their survival and being caught again.

How do you master deep-sea fishery like an expert?

Saltwater fishing is a common skill for fisherman who fish in freshwater. Saltwater fishing requires different skills and is a completely different sport. It can be difficult to master this skill. Professional deck hands will be available to help you maximize your chances of catching fish. This will increase your success rate in terms of quantity and size. The reef where you fish, the number of fish it has seen, your fishing skills, and the bait you use are all important factors.

Someone who has never fished before may have difficulty catching large fish in deep water. They lack the skills and techniques necessary to fish effectively. Learning angling is a common trait. This means you must learn how to catch fish. The more fish you catch, the better your fishing skills. Deck hands can help you to learn and guide. You can practice the techniques until you get better by having them demonstrate them to you.
