The Seasons
Fishing the Inshore waters surrounding North Myrtle Beach is just about a year long event because of warm, pleasant weather.
Flounder, Bluefish and Red Drum begin to show up in Tidal Creeks in the Spring. This is a great time for Light Tackle Creek Fishing. As days become longer and warmer, fish begin to move to our Sounds, Inlets and NearShore Wrecks.
Sharks frequent our waters during the warm months to spawn and feed. May through August we target sharks who prefer deeper water, and eat during the middle of the day even when it is hot and other fish are not as hungry. Sharks can be found inside the inlet and most places in the ocean! Most sharks average 3-5’ but we catch plenty of larger ones in the 6-7’ range. During our trip we often see eagles and sometimes even dolphins! We also catch giant red and black drum as bycatch as well as HUGE sting rays. If you want to experience the ultimate inshore rush, a shark trip is a must!
June thru August is our busiest season for vacationers and there are plenty of fish to catch. Spanish Mackerel school by the thousands on Inlet Shoals during the summer months.
Fall fishing is definitely the best time of the year for Inshore fishing. Large Red Drum migrate to our rivers and Inlets feeding on massive schools of mullet. Spot fishing is very popular October thru November and make for a great fish dinner.
Late Fall and Mid Winter, Stripers and Speckled Trout inhabit creek mouths and are easily caught with artificials.
