Myrtle Beach Fishing: 6 Hours of Coastal Action

Hey there, angler! Ready to hit the waters off Myrtle Beach for some serious fishing action? Our 6-hour charter is just the ticket for a day filled with tight lines and bent rods. We'll cruise the inshore waters, targeting some of South Carolina's most prized catches. Whether you're a seasoned pro or it's your first time holding a rod, we've got you covered with all the gear and know-how you need. So grab your sunscreen and let's make some fishing memories!

What to Expect on the Water

Picture this: You're on a sweet fishing boat, the sun's warming your face, and the salty breeze is whipping through your hair. That's how your day starts with us. We'll motor out to some prime fishing spots where the big ones like to hang out. You'll be dropping lines for a mix of species like King Mackerel, Redfish, and Cobia. Don't worry if you're new to this - our crew will show you the ropes, from baiting your hook to reeling in your catch. And hey, if you just want to kick back and enjoy the ride while we do the heavy lifting, that's cool too. This trip is all about having a good time on the water.

Fishing Techniques & Gear

Alright, let's talk shop. On this trip, we'll be using a mix of techniques to land those fish. We might do some trolling for the mackerel, where we'll drag lures behind the boat to entice those speedy swimmers. For redfish, we could be sight casting in the shallows or using live bait near structures. Bottom fishing is on the menu too, especially for those tasty flounder. We provide all the gear - quality rods, reels, and tackle that'll give you the best shot at landing the big one. Just bring your game face and maybe a lucky hat. Oh, and don't forget to pack some snacks and drinks. Nothing works up an appetite like reeling in fish!

Top Catches This Season

Let me tell you, the fishing's been hot lately. We've had folks pulling in some monster Redfish - talking about bull reds over 40 inches! The King Mackerel have been running too, with some topping 30 pounds. Even had a guy last week hook into a Cobia that nearly spooled the reel before we got it to the boat. That's the kind of action that keeps anglers coming back for more. Every trip's different, but that's the beauty of fishing - you never know what's gonna grab your line next.

Species You'll Want to Hook

King Mackerel: These speedsters are a blast to catch. They'll hit your bait like a freight train and make your reel sing. Kings love to run, so be ready for some serious action. Best time to target them is late spring through fall when the water warms up. Anglers love 'em for their fighting spirit and their tasty fillets.

Redfish: Also known as Red Drum, these copper-colored beauties are a staple of Myrtle Beach fishing. They've got a distinctive black spot on their tail, and they put up one heck of a fight. You can catch 'em year-round, but fall is prime time when they school up. Redfish are known for their powerful runs and their ability to test your drag system.

Cobia: These bruisers are like the heavyweight champs of inshore fishing. They're curious fish that'll sometimes swim right up to the boat. Cobia season kicks off in May and runs through summer. They're hard fighters that'll make you work for every inch of line. Plus, they're delicious on the grill.

Spanish Mackerel: The smaller cousins of the King Mackerel, these guys make up for their size with their numbers. When they're running, it's not uncommon to catch them two at a time. They're most active from spring to fall and are perfect for light tackle fishing. Spanish Mackerel are fast, fun, and great eating.

Southern Flounder: These flatfish are masters of camouflage, blending in with the sandy bottom. We target them with bottom rigs and live bait. Flounder fishing heats up in the summer and stays good through fall. They might not fight as hard as some other species, but man, are they tasty. Anglers prize them for their mild, sweet flavor.

Why Anglers Keep Coming Back

Look, I've been running charters out of Myrtle Beach for years, and I gotta tell you, there's something special about these waters. Maybe it's the variety - one minute you're battling a hard-pulling Red, the next you're racing to keep up with a scorching King Mackerel run. Or maybe it's the laid-back vibe, where you can fish hard or just enjoy being out on the water. Whatever it is, folks keep coming back for more. And it's not just the fishing - it's the whole package. The sun, the salt air, the stories we share... it's what fishing's all about.

Time to Book Your Spot

Alright, let's cut to the chase. If you're itching to get out on the water and feel that rod bend, it's time to lock in your spot. Our 6-hour trips are perfect for getting a real taste of what Myrtle Beach fishing is all about. We've got room for up to 4 people, so bring your buddies or make it a family outing. Remember, we handle all the gear, so all you need to worry about is showing up ready for some fishing action. Don't let another season slip by without getting in on this - the fish are waiting, and we're ready to put you on 'em. So what do you say? Let's make some fishing memories that'll have you bragging to your friends back home. Book your trip now, and let's see what we can reel in together!

Learn more about the species

Cobia

Cobia are one of our more unique catches. These barrel-chested fish look a bit like sharks and can reach 6 feet long. Most weigh 30-50 pounds, but 100-pounders show up. You'll find them around buoys, wrecks, and other structures in 30-70 feet of water. Cobia migrate through in late spring, following rays and big bait schools. They're curious fish - sometimes swimming right up to the boat. Sight-casting to them is a blast. Cobia fight hard, often making several strong runs. What makes them special is their unpredictable nature and the challenge of finding them. Once hooked, be ready for some acrobatics. A local tip: always have a big bucktail jig ready to pitch if you spot one. Cobia can't resist it. As a bonus, they're excellent eating too.

Cobia

King Mackerel

King Mackerel are a prized catch off Myrtle Beach, known for their speed and fight. These torpedo-shaped fish typically run 20-40 pounds but can reach over 90. You'll find them in waters 40-150 feet deep, often near structures like reefs or wrecks. Kings are most active in warmer months when they follow bait schools. Trolling with live bait or large spoons is the go-to method. What makes them fun is their blistering runs - when a big king hits, hold on tight! They're also excellent eating fish with firm, white meat. One local trick: use two hooks on your leader. Kings are known to bite the back half of bait fish, so that second hook improves your odds of a solid hookup. Just be ready for some serious action when that reel starts screaming.

Redfish

Redfish, also called red drum, are a favorite inshore target here. They love shallow water, often in just 1-4 feet deep. Look for them around oyster beds, grass flats, and marshes. A typical redfish runs 5-10 pounds, but trophy fish over 40 pounds aren't unheard of. Fall is prime time as they school up to spawn. These copper-colored beauties put up a great fight on light tackle. They'll crush topwater lures, making for some exciting visual strikes. Redfish are also known for their distinctive tail spots - a cool identifying feature. For best results, try sight-casting to tailing fish in shallow water. It's a real rush when you spot one, make a perfect cast, and watch it pounce on your lure. And don't forget, redfish make for some tasty fish tacos too.

Redfish

Southern Flounder

Southern Flounder are masters of camouflage, blending in with sandy or muddy bottoms in shallow waters. Most weigh 2-5 pounds, but bigger ones show up. Look for them in estuaries, around docks, and near river mouths. Fall is prime time as they move to spawn. Flounder fishing is all about patience and precision. Drift fishing with live bait or soft plastics works well. What makes them fun is the challenge - you've got to detect their subtle bite and set the hook just right. It's a finesse game. Flounder are also prized for their sweet, flaky meat. Here's a local tip: when you feel a bite, don't set the hook immediately. Give the flounder time to swallow the bait, then reel until you feel weight before setting. It's a game of nerves, but it pays off with more hookups.

Spanish Mackerel

Spanish Mackerel are a summertime favorite here. These speedy little torpedoes usually run 2-4 pounds but fight well above their weight class. You'll find them in large schools, often visible from the surface as they chase bait. Look for diving birds to locate them. Trolling small spoons or casting light jigs into feeding frenzies are great tactics. What makes Spanish fun is their aggressive nature - when they're biting, the action is fast and furious. They also make some impressive runs for their size. Spring and fall are peak seasons as they migrate along the coast. A local trick: use a long fluorocarbon leader to avoid bite-offs from their razor-sharp teeth. Spanish are also delicious - try them grilled fresh off the boat for a real treat.
