Epic 9-Hour Offshore Fishing in North Myrtle Beach

Get ready to head way offshore for some serious deep sea action with Reel Chill Fishing Charters. We're talking 35 to 55 miles out into the big blue, where the real monsters lurk.

With 4 to 5 solid hours of fishing time, you'll have plenty of chances to hook into something spectacular.

What to Expect on the Water

We'll be pushing off early to make the most of your day. The boat ride out is an adventure in itself, with the coastline fading behind us as we search for the perfect fishing grounds. By 8 or 9 AM, we'll be dropping lines in prime spots where the big ones hang out. Our seasoned crew knows these waters like the back of their hand, so you're in for a top-notch fishing experience. We've got all the gear you need - rods, reels, bait, the works. Just bring your game face and maybe a cooler for your catch. And don't sweat the small stuff - we're flexible on return times if the weather acts up or the fish are really biting. No extra charges, just more time to land that trophy fish.

Techniques & Tactics

Out here in the deep, we use a mix of fishing methods to target different species. We might start with some trolling for pelagics like King Mackerel, dragging lines behind the boat as we cruise productive areas. When we find a hot spot, we'll switch to bottom fishing, dropping baits down to where the grouper and amberjack hang out. For the adrenaline junkies, we might even do some live-baiting for big game like Cobia or Barracuda. The key out here is versatility - we'll adapt our tactics based on what's biting and what you're hoping to catch. Our crew will show you the ropes, whether you're a seasoned pro or it's your first time holding a rod.

Species You'll Want to Hook

King Mackerel: These speedsters are a blast to catch. They're known for their blistering runs and aerial acrobatics when hooked. Kings can top 50 pounds, though 15-30 pounders are more common. We target them by trolling with live bait or artificial lures. They're at their peak in spring and fall, but you can find them year-round.

Greater Amberjack: Fondly called "reef donkeys" by anglers, these bruisers will test your strength. They live near wrecks and reefs, and when you hook one, be ready for a workout. AJs can easily top 100 pounds, though 40-60 pounders are more typical. We catch them by dropping live bait or jigs to the bottom. They're most active in warmer months.

Great Barracuda: With their menacing teeth and lightning-fast strikes, 'cudas are always an exciting catch. They're ambush predators, so we often find them hanging around structure or following our boat. While they can grow over 5 feet long, most we catch are in the 3-4 foot range. They're a year-round target and put up a great fight on light tackle.

Cobia: These curious fish are sometimes called "crab eaters" or "ling." They're known for their powerful runs and tendency to circle the boat when hooked. Cobia can grow over 100 pounds, but 30-50 pounders are more common. We often sight-fish for them near the surface or around structure. Spring and early summer are prime times for cobia.

Gag Grouper: These bottom-dwelling powerhouses are prized for both their fight and their flavor. Gags like to hunker down in rocky areas and wrecks. When you hook one, your job is to stop it from diving back into its hidey-hole. They average 10-30 pounds but can grow much larger. We target them with heavy tackle and live bait. They're available year-round, but regulations may limit when we can keep them.
