Prime fishing time in Myrtle Beach is May through November for Myrtle Beach Fishing Charters, but just about any time of the year anglers can find some action. Typically Myrtle Beach Fishing Charters pull out bluefish, cobia, amberjack, Spanish mackerel and king mackerel by trolling their lures over the reef structures. They drop their lines to the bottom to bring in black sea bass, sheepshead, porgy, red drum and black drum. Bottom fish are best taken with cut bait, squid or live bait.
Dozens of fishing boats venture forth daily into inshore, offshore and Gulf Stream waters. Inshore, you can hook crevalle jack, pompano, barracuda, spadefish and shark in late spring and early summer. Offshore it will be dolphin, tuna, mackerel and sailfish in and around the reef structures.
The hot summer months bring in black sea bass, snapper, grouper, porgy, and flounder. In cooler weather, cobia, king mackerel, red drum, black sea bass, grouper, sheepshead and spotted sea trout in and around the artificial reefs.
Fishing excursion boats can be either charter or party boats and do either trolling or bottom fishing. A charter boat is licensed by the US Coast Guard to carry up to six passengers. A party boat takes on many more than that and usually costs significantly less. Also, a party boat will not require advance deposits or reservations. In some cases, you might just buy a ticket at a ticket office and walk in like it was an amusement park ride. Contact us today!
