Some of What We Target
Trout
Trout can be targeted by using a variety of different techniques and baits including grubs, artificial shrimp, top water plugs, fly fishing gear, as well as live bait such as shrimp.Within inshore creeks and waterways, these fish are ensconced in deeper holes.
Flounder
This unusual fish has two eyes on one side of its body and can blend in perfectly with its surroundings. The flounder is an aggressive eater and will consume anything you offer them such as artificial lures, flies, live minnows or shrimp.
Redfish
Also called Red Drums, named for its "drumming" sound that can be heard when it is spawning or being retrieved from the water. These sounds are produced when the muscles rub against the inflated air bladder. These fish are abundant year round in the Myrtle Beach area becoming a primary target and popular game fish.
Sheepshead
Sheepshead are often distinguished by an oval body made of alternating black and gray stripes. Upon catching a fish, you realize you don't want to stick your fingers in its mouth.There are incisors on the front of the sheepshead and molars along the sides, which are perfect for biting into mussels, clams, oysters, etc.
Various Shark
Fishing for sharks with light-heavy tackle is the best way to catch this ultimate predator. Sharks are abundant in the area, anglers do not have to wait long before one bites their lure! Several shark species found in the North Myrtle Beach Atlantic Sharp Nosed Sharks, Bonnethead Sharks, Bull Sharks, Lemon Sharks, Black Tip Sharks, Hammerhead Sharks, Tiger Sharks, and Nurse Sharks.
Black Drum
Myrtle Beach's inshore and nearshore waters are home to the black drum, a small to medium-sized member of the drum family. Young Black Drums typically have vertical stripes; these disappear as they age. A relatively light tackle with minnows or shrimp, is typically recommended when fishing for drum in the backwaters.
