From the expansive grassy flats inland to the Gulf stream offshore, the numerous types of Myrtle Beach fishing charters are enough to whet any angler’s appetite.
Inshore fishing is all about estuaries covered with Spartina grass, mud, and oyster bars, with some sandy areas in the mix to make the ideal habitat for some of the United States’ hottest light tackle targets. Reaching from Georgetown County to Brunswick County, North Carolina, these waters throw up a rich mix of fishing areas, with bays, sounds, inlets, and rivers all attracting fish throughout the year. Top of the list of targets is the Red Drum, whose many local names hint at its popularity (if you’re wondering what makes a Redfish different to a Channel Bass or a Spot Tail Bass, the answer is they are all the same fish). Speckled Trout, Flounder, Black Drum, Pompano, and Bluefish also call these waters home at different times of the year.
If you are looking for an adrenaline rush, you don’t have to go far to experience the Shark fishing Myrtle Beach has become famous for. From May to December everything from Blacktip Sharks to Tiger Sharks can be caught off the beaches and piers. Other top coastline targets include Tarpon and Cobia, both of which make for some of the most exciting sight fishing out there during their respective seasons. For those without a boat, Myrtle Beach fishing piers can make for a fun day catching fish. They include the Cherry Grove Pier in North Myrtle beach, the Myrtle Beach State Park Pier, Apache Pier, and many more.
Hop aboard a Myrtle Beach fishing charter boat, and you will have the world at you fingertips. Head off the coast, and you will find a fairly flat sandy sea bottom that has a few rocky outcroppings and a good number of nearshore artificial reefs. These are home to Spanish and King Mackerel and Black Sea Bass, as well as Spadefish and more. Myrtle Beach deep sea fishing charters will usually take you beyond the 20 mile mark, which is where you start to see the sea floor dropping faster and more hard-bottomed areas and ledges appearing. From 45 miles out, the Continental Shelf’s sharp drop off begins: this is where serious offshore anglers will have a field day, catching Mahi Mahi, Wahoo, Sailfish, Blackfin Tuna while trolling, or fishing over the offshore reefs for huge Amberjack, Snappers, Groupers, and Triggerfish.
As if that wasn’t enough, numerous swampy rivers are lying in wait for freshwater anglers to fill bags with Bass, Bream, Crappie and Catfish. These get very exciting from March onwards, but have something to offer all year round.
