Spring Break Redfishing

Despite the fact that Winter just doesn't seem to want to let go, the fishing has been excellent in the creeks and inlets south of Myrtle Beach. We've been spending a lot of time redfishing in Winyah Bay and Cape Romain the last few weeks, catching good numbers of redfish and a few trout as well. Although flounder haven't started showing up in in big numbers yet, I expect them to start biting again any day now. Murrells Inlet and Pawleys Island are excellent choices for early season flounder.

 

Cold Weather, Hot Redfish bite!

Fishing Report Myrtle Beach SC - Jan 2014

Despite the frigid temperatures we experienced the first week in January, the redfish bite has been phenomenal. Two days after only reaching a high of 38, temps soared into the 70's and the redfish  have responded very well. The water clarity is exceptional and we are sight casting to many of these redfish which can be found in large schools in shallow water. We are targeting these schools of fish on the lower mid-day tides with various artificial baits, including Vudu Shrimp, DOAs,  and mud-minnows on a 1/4oz jig head.
