Operated by Aces Up Fishing · Murrells Inlet, South Carolina
Aces Up Fishing’s "8 Hour Trip!" launches from Murrells Inlet, South Carolina, a salt‑air corridor between the marshes and the Atlantic just south of Myrtle Beach. Aboard a 33‑foot Hydra‑Sports center console, this private deep‑sea charter puts anglers on the edge of the Gulf Stream where pelagic giants patrol. The boat’s full bathroom and stable platform make eight hours on the water comfortable for mixed-age groups, and the captain brings everything needed: rods, reels, bait, tackle and state licenses included.
Murrells Inlet itself is a working waterfront defined by tidal creeks, oyster beds, and a low marsh that feeds visible schools of baitfish into the inlet. The local mix of nearshore reefs, sand flats and offshore ledges concentrates species—expect runs of mahi, yellowfin and blackfin tuna, king mackerel, cobia and bottom fish such as snapper and grouper when you venture farther offshore. Dolphins and pelicans are common companions, and the water clarity can change quickly with tides and weather, revealing bands of blue where the Gulf Stream brushes the shelf.
What sets this trip apart is the turnkey nature of the experience. Aces Up Fishing operates as a private charter for groups of one to six, offering a personalized plan depending on your goals—trolling for speedier pelagics, drifting for snapper, or bottom fishing around structure. The inclusion of fish cleaning on return and a knowledgeable crew lets you focus on casts and fights, not logistics. Family groups, experienced anglers chasing numbers, and first‑time deep‑sea guests all find the format approachable.
Expect active angling with a mix of techniques—trolling spreader bars and lures for fast movers, live‑bait drifting over structure for bottom species, and chunking for cobia when present. The crew will demonstrate rigging, baiting, and safe release techniques for undersized fish, and they will advise on how to land heavier fighters without sacrificing your rod or back. Freshwater experience helps, but salt‑water persistence and patience usually win out. Bring a sense of humor often.
Timing matters: early springs and late summers can produce different species, and an eight‑hour window offers flexibility to move from inshore bite to offshore structure as conditions dictate. Safety equipment and local knowledge reduce downtime; the captain’s familiarity with local current lines and structure is where many successful trips find their edge.
Practical details are simple: depart from Murrells Inlet and expect to be back after roughly eight hours; trips accept up to six people. Bring sun protection, a small cooler for your day’s catch if desired, and motion‑sickness remedies if you react to swell.
