Action-Packed Inshore Fishing | Myrtle Beach SC

Our group had a fantastic outing with Captain Ed despite the rough conditions on the water. When a member of our party felt seasick due to the high swells, the crew was incredibly attentive and took excellent care of her. We successfully landed a nice haul of sea bass, and it was clear that both the vessel and the fishing equipment were meticulously maintained. The first mate provided top-tier service throughout the day, and I would certainly suggest Lucky Strike for anyone looking for a reliable charter.

Spending time on the water with Captain Ed and his crew was a fantastic experience; they were great hosts and true professionals. As someone new to the sport, I really valued the expert guidance and tips they shared, which made the learning process very rewarding. We stayed busy reeling in fish all day, and while state limits meant we could only take home about 30, we caught enough to easily triple that number. This charter is well worth the investment and the travel time, and I am already planning my next visit.

This was a fantastic outing for the family, especially for those who were new to the sport. The crew made sure everyone had a wonderful introduction to angling, providing a patient and professional environment that made for a truly memorable day.

Our large family group had a fantastic day on the water, and everyone enjoyed the outing. The highlight was definitely for my 9-year-old, who was beyond excited to reel in a shark! Both the captain and the first mate were excellent, ensuring the entire group was well-attended to throughout the day.

Captain Ed was fantastic and made sure we were in the right spot all day. Our first mate, Mongo, was equally impressive—incredibly skilled and brought a great sense of humor to the boat. I wouldn't hesitate to book this again immediately. All four of my children had the chance to land a shark, and we even brought home some Mackerel for a fresh grilled dinner. I highly recommend choosing Lucky Strike for your next outing.

Captain Ed and Brian were incredibly welcoming and went out of their way to assist us, ensuring our time on the water was a total success. Their professional and friendly attitudes made the entire day very pleasant for everyone on board.

Awesome trip for 5 adults and 2 kids that have never gone deep sea fishing! Captain Ed was very nice and friendly. His ship mate Mongo went above and beyond to make our trip memorable. He was excellent with the boys and always made them feel included and taught them a lot about the marine life we experienced. Highly recommend this charter and will book with them again in the future!

Mongo and Captain Ed are the highlight of our vacation every year.

Lucky Strike did a great job with our trip. Captain Ed and Brian were a great choice.

Captain Ed is great. He knows exactly where the fish are and is a very nice guy. His First Mate, Brian, is simply the best—he was funny, knowledgeable, and the whole family loved him. We caught more than we expected and will definitely use this crew again.

Our entire family had a great time with Lucky Strike Fishing Charters. It was a fun experience, and we would recommend it to anyone.

Captain Ed and deckhand Brandon were fantastic. We went out for a six-hour trip and had mackerel on the hook within five minutes of our first stop. After catching plenty of mackerel, we moved on to fish for sharks. Almost as soon as we arrived, we hooked a hammerhead. After releasing it, we landed a nice blacktip shark after only about ten minutes in the water.

Our group of ten had a wonderful time this morning. Everyone caught fish and we all had a great time.

Highly recommend these guys. Our group of eight had a great time!

The first mate was knowledgeable and very efficient. He was excellent at handling every situation.

Ed and Yan were awesome. Ed put us right on the fish, and Yan was on top of everything else we needed. We caught almost everything we were going for. It was a great time all around, and I would definitely recommend them.

The fish were biting, and we got on them almost immediately. We had a group of nine, and the captain and mate worked hard from start to finish to ensure everyone had a chance to reel them in.

Captain Ed and First Mate Brandon were awesome. My three grandsons and I caught 45 fish, including a large shark!

This was the best fishing experience ever. The captain and crew were excellent, experienced, and knowledgeable. We will definitely be back and would recommend them to anyone looking for a great day on the water.

It is difficult to put into words how incredible our trip was with Captain Eddie and Mongo. I have been on many fishing trips, but this was the best one yet. We all know that fishing is about the overall experience, and catching something is usually just a bonus. With Lucky Strike, they were on point with every detail. We were able to relax on the boat while Mongo handled the heavy lifting, but you had to be ready when the lines snapped—it was time to work!

For a large group of people with no prior ocean fishing experience, Ed and Brian provided the exact guidance and recommendations we needed. The boat was well-equipped, and the spacious interior was a major benefit for getting out of the elements when necessary. We caught mackerel and shark during our five-hour trip. We would definitely use them again.

Despite poor water conditions following recent storms, Captain Ed found the King Mackerel for us, while First Mate Mongo stayed on top of things with the right lures and rigging. Everyone in our group caught fish and thoroughly enjoyed the day.

Captain Ed and Mongo took wonderful care of us. The entire experience was great, from catching bait fish and seeing several dolphins to landing a five-foot shark. Since we had kids with us, we really appreciated how patient the crew was while explaining everything to them.

Our family had a great time on the water. The fishing was a bit slower than I expected, though that may have been due to the time of year. It was a very hot day with slightly choppy, warm water. Despite those conditions, Captain Ed found fish for us to take home. First mate Brian made the trip easy and memorable. I would definitely fish with Ed and his crew again.

My family loved the trip and would definitely do it again.

As first-timers, a few of us felt a bit seasick, but we still had a wonderful time thanks to the clean boat and the fantastic captain and crew. We caught shark and had some mackerel bites as well. I would highly recommend this to anyone, as it perfectly suited both the youngsters and the elderly members of our group.

This is a top-tier fishing charter. We will certainly use them again in the future. We had plenty of catches, and the crew was very knowledgeable. Many thanks!

Captain Ed and Mongo are a must for us every year. Being on the boat with Mongo is the kids' favorite part of the entire vacation. These are good people to spend your day fishing with, and they go out of their way to provide your family with fun catches and great memories. We will see you again next year!

We had a great time trolling for King Mackerel and reached our limit before finishing up with an hour of shark fishing. It was a fantastic experience! First mate Brian did a wonderful job keeping up and ensuring the rods were always in the water. Thanks!

Captain Ed and deckhand "Mongo" were wonderful! They were very kind people to be out on the water with. Mongo is personable, funny, and certainly knows his way around a boat. He made the fishing process very easy for us, especially for those who had never done anything like this before. Captain Ed is highly experienced and very knowledgeable about the waters. He was encouraging and had a great sense of humor throughout the trip. They are a fantastic pair, and my group will definitely be back! While I am only sharing photos of my wife and me with our catches, everyone on the boat caught something. From Spanish mackerel to sharks, it was a great experience!

Captain Ed was a great host, and first mate Brian took excellent care of us. The fishing was a little slow, especially when we went after sharks, but that is simply the nature of fishing. Both Ed and Brian worked hard for our group, and everyone caught fish and had a wonderful time. It was a 10-out-of-10 experience. I highly recommend Lucky Strike!

We had a group of 12 with ages ranging from 11 to 40, and everyone had a great time. Captain Ed and Mongo are excellent. We caught many fish, including mackerel, tuna, and a hammerhead shark. It was a wonderful experience, and I would definitely recommend this to anyone.

We had the best time today! There were three of us—my father, brother, and I—and it could not have been better. From the conversations and navigation to the fishing itself, we were very happy with the whole experience. We were put on fish immediately, starting with Spanish mackerel. We trolled for most of the morning until the captain suggested a different method. There were so many options to choose from, but we decided to head out for tuna. We were not only successful, but they were a great size! For the final hour or so, the crew suggested we try for shark. Unfortunately, they weren't biting today. We will be booking with these guys every time and recommending them to everyone. They were punctual, respectful, and provided plenty of laughs. Thank you for one of the best trips I have ever taken.

We had a great time and highly recommend this crew! They provided great hospitality, and we caught a lot of fish.

From the minute we stepped foot on the pier to the time we left, we felt like family. They did everything they could to get fish in the boat and did an outstanding job of making that happen.

Our family could not have asked for a better experience. The boat was spotless, the captain was very welcoming, and the first mate, Brian, was exceptional. We caught 16 fish in the first hour, and the kids had a wonderful time. We highly recommend this charter and look forward to coming back again soon!

We booked with Lucky Strike at the last minute after our original charter failed to respond to my messages the day before our trip. Captain Elliott was very fast to respond and saved our outing. The boat is in excellent condition, offering plenty of room and a bathroom. We targeted Black Sea Bass, and I caught 37 myself; our group of three caught over 70 fish with plenty of keepers. The captain and first mate were absolutely wonderful. Captain Elliott put us right on the fish, even while other smaller boats seemed to be struggling to find them. The first mate was pleasant to talk to and clearly knows his job well. I highly recommend them, especially for families with kids or teenagers. To finish the trip, the captain recommended a fresh seafood shack near the dock, where we picked up some great fresh shrimp to go with our sea bass dinner. We are returning to Myrtle Beach at the end of June and look forward to fishing with Lucky Strike again.

The wind was blowing and temperatures were low, but Captain Ed kept us on the fish. We caught many, though only a few were large enough to keep. We will definitely be back next summer when the weather is a bit warmer!

My wife and I had a great trip on the Lucky Strike. The weather was beautiful, and we caught both fish and sharks.

At 7 am, we met Captain Ed and his first mate, Mongo, in Calabash. It was quite cold and dark, but they were ready to go with high spirits. It was 55 degrees outside, and I realized I should have brought warmer clothes. The four of us set off. The cabin area was spacious, featuring a four-person dinette and a large L-shaped bench seat. There was a clean bathroom in the bow, and Mongo kept the boat very organized. After a brief introduction, Captain Ed pulled away from the dock and set course for the day. Within 20 minutes, we were fishing. We started by targeting Spanish mackerel and caught 10 in total. Then we moved on to sharks. Using a couple of the mackerel as bait, we caught three sharks, including a hammerhead that I reeled in. When our time was up, we headed back to the docks where Mongo cleaned and bagged our catch. The boat is a classic but moves quickly with a 600 hp single engine that gets you to the spots fast. It features three fishing seats at the stern and even offered a great dolphin watch. I highly recommend bringing a cooler for your catch and food, and I would suggest booking the six-hour trip. They did a great job!

Captain Ed was fantastic with the planning and communication for our trip! While we weren't able to land any big fish, the Spanish mackerel didn't stand a chance. We are looking forward to our next outing on the Lucky Strike!

We were treated exceptionally well and had a great time catching a ton of fish.

A good time was had by all, from my 78 year old dad to my 15 year old nephew. My dad had a stroke a couple of years ago and can’t get around without a walker or a cane. When I contacted Captain Ed with my concerns regarding trying to safely take my dad fishing, he knew exactly how to make it work. He and Brian made getting dad on and off the boat absolutely seamless, and if dad wanted to walk around on the boat, Brian was immediately at the ready to help move my dad safely from point a to point b. I’m no expert on deep sea fishing, but as far as I’m concerned, Captain Ed and Brian (Mungo) are 2 of the kindest men in the business! They knew exactly where the Spanish mackerel and shark were, made sure everyone caught fish and everyone had a great time! I’ll absolutely be a repeat customer, and I cannot thank them enough for giving our family the opportunity for these memories with my dad.

We had a great time. We caught plenty of Spanish mackerel and did some shark fishing as well. The crew tried everything they could to land us a keeper, but the sharks just didn't play ball that day. We still caught a few nice ones, though! It was a fantastic experience. We are going again in May and can't wait.

The boat was clean and well-equipped with a lunch table, beds, and a bathroom. The captain put us right on the fish, and we caught our fill halfway through the trip. When we asked to try for sharks, they switched gear and moved spots for us, landing four sharks as well! Captain Ed and first mate Brian are awesome and truly know their stuff. I highly recommend this charter.

Captain Ed and first mate Brian were awesome! They got us right to the fish, and we really appreciated that it didn’t take a long time to reach the fishing spots like it does with some other charters. The boat was very comfortable. We plan to book with them again!

We had a great time! The captain and crew were very accommodating, and we would definitely like to fish with Captain Elliott and Brian again. Thank you for working so hard to put us on the fish!

We caught plenty of Spanish mackerel and six Atlantic sharpnose sharks on a six-hour nearshore trip in late August. The first mate was very friendly and patiently answered dozens of questions from our three kids. The interior space on the boat was outstanding, featuring a table with two benches, a large L-shaped seating area, and three beds below deck. Since the seas were rough, three of our group felt a bit seasick, but we were able to take comfortable, restorative naps inside. We have been on many charters, and this one is excellent—by far our favorite boat to date.

We all had a great day of fishing. Captain Ed and his crew were wonderful. We booked with them last year and plan to book again next year. Thanks to Ed and the crew for such a great time!

It was a fun trip! They put us on a good amount of fish so that everyone in our group had a chance to catch some.
