Hey Partner, DON'T GO ON THAT CHARTER!!!! LOL!!!!!! It's kind of funny you mentioned this charter. DR and I were just talking about ol' Capt Pete. [unimpressed] DR sent me a link to a review of a trip on his boat, I was not impressed at all. And I promiss, there is no fly fishing in Murrells Inlet. So, if that guy said it's "his specialty," he's just blowing smoke. There are some good charters in MI, but you'll be using standard equipment, not fly gear. For fly fishing, you'll have to go a little further south to Georgetown. [
] If you want a good charter in MI, give Capt Shannon a call, this is his number:
843-450-1430
I got a chance to check out DR's rig this past weekend, and he's ready for about anything. He's got a nicely equiped Pontoon boat that's plenty comfy, as well as 20+ years experiance out of our favorite little fishing hole. [cool] He's really old, but he can catch some fish. [sly] LOL!!!!!!!!
As for your small john boat, it'll work as long as you stay off the big water. If you put in and go right, you'll be just fine. I've seen loads of small john boats in the inlet. They are better equiped for chasing reds and flounder in the shallows anyhow. You don't have to worry about tearing something up as much. You can also get a detailed color map of the inlet at just about any of the local tackle stores.
Also, if i'm in the area in that time frame, i'll let you know. You can tag along to the reef with me if you'd like. [cool]
