Welcome

Welcome to Shallow Minded Inshore Charters where my goal is to provide you with a unique light tackle experience and show you a side of the Myrtle Beach area many have never seen before. My name is Captain Mark Dickson and I am a lifelong resident of North Myrtle Beach and a full time guide who takes pride in being one of the best at what I do - Catching Fish!

Shallow Minded Inshore Charters specializes in saltwater fishing for Flounder, Redfish, Sea Trout, Spanish Mackerel, Striped Bass and Blue Fish. We will fish in the backcountry and tidal creeks around Little River Inlet, SC and northward towards Shallotte, NC. Depending on tides and season, I target these various inshore species using live bait such as finger mullet, mud minnows, shrimp, and small menhaden that we cast net for at the beginning of each trip.

Flounder are generally targeted in the spring and summer as well as are the Blue Fish and Spanish Mackerel. The Flounder usually invade the smaller inlets such as Cherry Grove and Tubbs Inlet first then move in an around the rock jetties that define Little River Inlet. The Blue Fish and Spanish are easily taken at the mouths of these same inlets.

In the late summer and fall, the Redfish and Sea Trout bite is HOT with limits being caught daily. Just imagine 12 lb. test line sizzling off your reel from a 10-15 lb. Redfish or seeing the bait shower as the trout patrol the oyster beds on the falling tide.

This is a hands-on fishing experience where each angler casts and holds their own rod and reel as we drift through the creeks or cork fish around the jetties and oyster beds. We fish a wide stable Triton 240 LTS bay boat powered by a 2005 Mercury Verado 250 outboard(all brand new for 2005). High quality rods and reels are provided as well as the necessary bait, tackle, licenses and safety equipment (USCG approved).    
         

Growing up in North Myrtle Beach has provided me with the opportunity to fish around Little River Inlet since I was a small boy. My love for fishing enabled me to become a professional angler on the Southern Kingfish Association tournament trail as well as mate in the SC Governors Cup Billfish Tournament Series. In 1999, I started Shallow Minded Inshore Charters to promote inshore fishing and educate anglers on the conservation of our diverse estuary. My goal is for everyone that fishes with me have a great time, catch fish and come back for another Shallow Minded Experience.

Come fish the Little River Inlet and surrounding backwaters.
