Knowledge of an Inshore Captain

When it comes to inshore fishing, timing is everything. At Coastal Marsh Charters, we don’t just take you fishing—we put you in the right spot, at the right time, for the best chance to hook what’s biting. Our inshore waters around Myrtle Beach are rich with life year-round, but knowing when and where to go can make or break your trip.
What is Inshore Fishing?
Inshore fishing takes place in shallow saltwater—think marshes, estuaries, creeks, and the calm waters behind barrier islands. You’re never too far from land, and the action stays consistent if you know what you’re doing. That’s where we come in.
Seasonal Fishing in Myrtle Beach
Different fish show up in different seasons. Understanding the patterns helps you catch more and guess less.
Spring: Redfish and speckled trout start to move as the water warms. The baitfish return, and the marsh comes alive.
Summer: It’s prime time for flounder, redfish, and sharks. Water temps are high, and so is the activity.
Fall: Arguably the best inshore fishing of the year. Bull redfish feed aggressively before winter. Trout school up and strike hard.
Winter: Colder months call for finesse. Redfish school in shallow creeks, and calm, sunny days can produce big bites.
Why Tide and Temperature Matter
Fish don’t follow the clock—they follow the tide. Our inshore captain knows that moving water triggers feeding behavior. Rising tides bring fish into the grass. Falling tides pull them back into channels.
And don’t ignore temperature. Inshore saltwater species are sensitive to even small shifts. When the water hits the right temp, things change fast. Knowing these patterns separates a good day from a great one.
