Captain Keith Logan founded North Myrtle Beach Fishing Charters in 1991 after spending years learning the waters of Little River and the Grand Strand firsthand.

Premier North Myrtle Beach Fishing Guide

Captain Keith Logan is the flagship guide of North Myrtle Beach Fishing Charters and one of the most accomplished fishing captains in the Carolinas. With over 40 years of experience fishing these waters, 30 years guiding professionally, and 30 years holding a U.S. Coast Guard Master Captain’s License (200-Ton endorsement), Local Captain Keith brings unmatched local knowledge, technical skill, and professionalism to every trip.

A native of the Ocean Isle Beach and Sunset Beach area of North Carolina, Captain Keith grew up fishing the coastal waters from Cape Fear to Murrells Inlet long before charter fishing was his profession. Today, he operates out of North Myrtle Beach, offering elite inshore, nearshore, and seasonal offshore fishing experiences for anglers of all ages and skill levels.

A True Local Advantage Built Over Four Decades

Captain Keith’s greatest advantage is simple: he grew up here. Raised fishing the waters of Ocean Isle Beach, Sunset Beach, Calabash, Little River, Cherry Grove, and North Myrtle Beach, he has spent a lifetime learning how fish move with the tides, seasons, and weather patterns unique to the Carolina coast.

That generational knowledge—passed down from fishing alongside his father, Cecil Logan—cannot be replicated by transient guides or short-term captains. It is earned through decades on the water, year after year, tide after tide.

This deep familiarity allows Captain Keith to consistently place clients on productive water while adapting quickly to changing conditions.

Fishing Specialties & Seasonal Mastery

Captain Keith Logan is widely respected for his seasonal precision—targeting the right species at the right time with light-tackle techniques that maximize both success and enjoyment of Inshore Fishing Charters.

Flounder Fishing (April–June, August–September)

Captain Keith is especially known for his flounder expertise. Using refined drift patterns, structure knowledge, and light-tackle presentation, he targets flounder during peak migration windows when success rates are highest.

Speckled Sea Trout & Sheepshead (January–September)

From winter through late summer, Captain Keith consistently produces speckled sea trout and sheepshead trips. His understanding of temperature, salinity, and structure makes him a reliable guide even during tougher conditions.

Redfish in the Carolina Flats

Few experiences compare to sight-fishing redfish on the flats. Captain Keith has spent decades poling and positioning in shallow water environments where precision matters.

Bull Redfish Run (October)

October marks one of the most exciting times of the year—the annual bull redfish run. Captain Keith times these trips carefully to give anglers the best chance at landing trophy-class red drum.
