Family-Friendly Morning Fishing in North Myrtle Beach
Looking for a laid-back way to spend quality time with the family? Our 3-hour morning fishing trip in North Myrtle Beach is just the ticket. We've got everything covered so you can focus on making memories and maybe even landing the catch of the day. Whether you're a seasoned angler or it's your first time holding a rod, this trip is perfect for all skill levels and ages. Let's get you out on the water!
What to Expect on the Water
Rise and shine, folks! We kick off bright and early at 8:30 AM, Monday through Thursday, to make the most of those prime fishing hours. This isn't your average touristy excursion - it's a real deal, hands-on fishing experience. We'll cruise the inshore waters, where the fish are biting and the scenery is stunning. Don't worry about bringing any gear or getting a license - we've got all that sorted for you. Just show up ready for some fun on the water.
Got kiddos? Bring 'em along! We love having young anglers on board. Just give us a heads up if you need child-sized life vests, or feel free to bring your own. And hey, while we're taking care of the fishing essentials, don't forget to pack some snacks and drinks. A little fuel goes a long way when you're reeling in the big ones. Oh, and if you fancy a cold one while you fish, that's fine by us - just keep it in moderation and leave the glass bottles and hard stuff at home.
Insider Fishing Tips
Alright, let's talk fishing. We'll be using light tackle gear, perfect for the inshore species we're after. Don't know how to bait a hook or cast a line? No sweat - that's what I'm here for. I'll show you the ropes and have you fishing like a pro in no time. We might do some bottom fishing for those tasty flounder, or maybe we'll try some drift fishing if the redfish are running. The key is to stay flexible and go where the fish are biting.
One of the best things about inshore fishing is how quickly the action can heat up. One minute you're chatting and enjoying the scenery, the next you're in a full-on battle with a feisty black drum. It's all about reading the water, feeling for that telltale tug, and then... fish on! Trust me, there's nothing quite like the rush of reeling in your first catch of the day.
Top Catches This Season
Curious about what's biting? North Myrtle Beach is home to some real beauties. Let's break down the all-stars you might encounter:
Southern Flounder: These flatfish are masters of camouflage and a real treat to catch. They're most active in the warmer months, especially around structure like jetties or pier pilings. Flounder have a unique sideways bite, so when you feel that distinctive tap-tap, get ready to set the hook!
Bluefish: Talk about fighters! These guys will give you a run for your money. Bluefish show up in spring and stick around through fall. They're known for their aggressive strikes and powerful runs. When a school of blues is feeding, the water practically boils with activity.
Black Drum: These cousins of the redfish are like underwater vacuum cleaners, using their sensitive barbels to root out crabs and shrimp from the bottom. They put up a great fight and can grow to impressive sizes. The "drum" in their name? That's from the grunting sound they make!
Sheepshead: With their distinctive black and white stripes, sheepshead are sometimes called "convict fish." They're notoriously tricky to hook due to their small mouths and light bites. But man, are they fun to catch - and delicious to eat if you're into catch-and-cook.
Redfish: Also known as red drum, these copper-colored beauties are a fan favorite. They've got a distinctive black spot near their tail, which supposedly wards off predators. Redfish are known for their strong runs and dogged fights. When you hook one, hold on tight!

Learn more about the species
Black Drum
Black Drum are hefty fighters that'll test your gear. They typically range from 5 to 30 pounds, but the big ones can top 90. Look for them around oyster beds, pier pilings, and in brackish estuaries. They love structure and use their chin barbels to root out crabs and shellfish. Spring is prime time as they gather to spawn, making some wild drumming sounds underwater. Anglers enjoy the challenge of Black Drum for their strong pulls and the potential for a real trophy catch. Their meat is good eating, especially the smaller ones under 15 pounds. To land one, use fresh crab or shrimp on a bottom rig. Here's a local tip: when you feel the tap-tap of a drum nibbling your bait, wait until you feel weight on the line before setting the hook. These guys can be sneaky bait stealers.
Bluefish
Bluefish are a blast to catch, known for their aggressive feeding and strong fights. They usually run 3 to 10 pounds but can reach up to 20. You'll find them in coastal waters, often churning up the surface in a feeding frenzy called a "blitz." They follow bait schools, so look for diving birds to spot them. Summer and early fall are peak seasons as they migrate along the coast. Anglers love bluefish for their hard-hitting strikes and powerful runs. They're also good eating when prepared right, with a rich, full flavor. To catch them, try casting metal lures or topwater plugs into the frenzy. A local trick: if you see blues busting bait on the surface, toss a popper lure right into the action and hold on tight. These toothy predators will slam it hard.
Redfish
Redfish, also called Red Drum, are a favorite inshore target. They typically range from 5 to 15 pounds, but trophy "bull reds" can top 40. Look for them in shallow water, often tailing in grass flats or cruising near oyster beds. They love to hang out in water so shallow their backs sometimes break the surface. Fall is prime time as they school up for spawning. Anglers love redfish for their powerful runs and their ability to be caught on a variety of methods, from fly fishing to bait casting. They're also excellent table fare with a mild, sweet flavor. To catch reds, try sight fishing with gold spoons or soft plastics. Here's a local secret: on calm days, look for their copper-colored backs pushing a wake in skinny water. Cast ahead of them and hold on tight when they crush your lure.
Sheepshead
Sheepshead are the ultimate structure-loving fish with a face only an angler could love. They typically run 1 to 8 pounds but can reach up to 20. You'll find them around barnacle-covered pilings, bridges, and reefs. They use their weird human-like teeth to crush barnacles and crabs. Spring is prime time as they gather offshore to spawn. Anglers love the challenge of outwitting these bait-stealing experts, plus they're excellent eating with sweet, white meat. To catch sheepshead, you need patience and a delicate touch. Use small hooks with fiddler crabs or pieces of shrimp. Here's a pro tip: when you feel the lightest tap, wait a second, then set the hook hard. These convict-striped fish are masters at nibbling bait off hooks without getting caught.
Southern Flounder
Southern Flounder are a unique challenge for anglers. These flatfish typically range from 15 to 18 inches, but can grow up to 33 inches and 20 pounds. You'll find them camouflaged on sandy or muddy bottoms in shallow coastal waters, bays, and estuaries. They're ambush predators, lying in wait to snatch up prey. Spring and fall are prime seasons as flounder move between inshore and offshore waters. Anglers love targeting them for their tasty white meat and the thrill of outsmarting a master of disguise. To catch one, try drift fishing or still fishing near the bottom with live bait like mullet or shrimp. A local tip: when you feel a bite, resist the urge to set the hook immediately. Give the flounder a few seconds to fully take the bait, then set it hard. Patience pays off with these tricky fish.
