Fishing Guide to Myrtle Beach

There is a wide variety of fishing options from saltwater surf fishing, pier fishing, charter fishing boats, freshwater lakes and streams, estuaries, or marsh and lake fishing - you could easily fish in a different spot every day during your stay in Myrtle Beach. There is a variety of fish that frequents the coastal and inland waters from whiting, croaker and spot tail bass to redfish, bull red drum, flounder, to name a few.

For those serious about their fishing, plan a deep-sea fishing charter for a few friends or a larger group with the many professional fishing charters from the Little River area down to Georgetown. These local businesses offer custom, hourly, half-day, full-day, or overnight fishing trips.

If you are more a leisurely fisherman that just likes to relax and let the fish bite, many area resorts and campgrounds have fishing lakes that will provide that low-key fishing time.

The Myrtle Beach area's 8 piers are a great place to people watch, see a bit of entertainment and of course, spend the day fishing with the family. Bait, rod rentals, and licenses are easily found on nearly every pier in our area. From North Myrtle Beach to Garden City, we have so much to offer pier fishermen.
