Sweet Gig Charters & Tours is a full-service, fully insured inshore fishing charter based in Georgetown, South Carolina, led by Captain Wayne, who brings more than 20 years of experience fishing these waters and 15 years as a licensed captain before deciding to charter full time. Georgetown sits at the confluence of the Great Pee Dee, Waccamaw, Sampit, and Black Rivers, giving access to the fertile Winyah Bay and Intracoastal Waterway for a genuinely diverse range of inshore and nearshore fishing.
Captain Wayne’s focus is on the overall experience, not just the catch count — while everyone hopes for a great bite, he prioritizes making sure clients enjoy the day regardless of how the fish are behaving. Trips run aboard a 24-foot BullsBay boat with a wireless trolling motor, safely carrying up to 5 anglers, mainly targeting Redfish, Flounder, Black Drum, Tarpon, King Mackerel, and Dolphin depending on the season and daily conditions. Techniques span light and heavy tackle, bottom fishing, trolling, big game fishing, bow fishing, gigging, handline, jigging, popping, and spinning.
Beyond standard fishing trips, Sweet Gig Charters also offers a signature Flounder Gigging trip (spearing flounder by light at night, a classic Lowcountry technique), a Lighthouse Shell Tour, Dolphin Watch, and Sunset Cruise for guests wanting a different kind of day on the water. Every trip includes all fishing equipment, bait, and fishing licenses, with an iced cooler provided (no glass containers); the captain will even clean the day’s catch at the end of the trip. Kids are welcome aboard, with the usual caution around newborns and toddlers given the saltwater environment.
With 35 reviews on FishingBooker and a loyal local following, guests consistently describe a great time on the water, with repeat bookings common even after weather-shortened trips.
For anglers and visitors near Georgetown looking for inshore fishing, flounder gigging, or a scenic dolphin watch or sunset cruise, Sweet Gig Charters offers a well-reviewed, experience-focused operation with Captain Wayne.
