Fall is a prime season for fishing in Myrtle Beach, and 2024 is shaping up to be a great one. With the cooler weather, fishing patterns shift, making it easier to target several key species along the area’s inshore waters. Myrtle Beach Guide Service is ready to take advantage of these changes, helping anglers of all levels enjoy a steady day on the water. Fall brings predictable activity and clear water, offering a good chance to hook into redfish, speckled trout, flounder, black drum, bluefish, sheepshead, and more.
Fall Conditions: What to Expect on the Water
As temperatures drop, Myrtle Beach waters settle into a steady, manageable rhythm. Fish move closer to shore and start gathering around structures like oyster bars, grass beds, and marshy edges. With the cooler water, they’re also feeding more actively as they prepare for winter. This means less guessing and more consistent action, as fish tend to be in their usual spots and feeding with a purpose.
Water clarity also tends to improve in the fall, especially with less boat traffic stirring things up. This makes it easier to spot fish and read the movement of bait. Myrtle Beach Guide Service knows which areas offer the best visibility, helping anglers make the most of their time by targeting productive spots.
Species to Look For
In the fall, a variety of species become active and accessible around Myrtle Beach. Redfish, a favorite for many, are schooling up in the shallows, where they’re feeding actively. This season is a good time for redfish, as they’re easier to locate in numbers, and a few hours out often leads to multiple catches. They hold steady near oyster bars and grass flats, making it an ideal time for anyone after a reliable redfish bite.
Speckled trout also come out strong in the fall, holding in the flats and grass beds where they can feed in comfort. These trout are steady biters, making for a relaxed, enjoyable experience, especially in clear waters. Flounder and black drum add variety, holding near sandy bottoms and structure where they’re easy to spot. This time of year, black drum especially can be found around oyster beds, where they take advantage of the cooler waters.
Bluefish and sheepshead round out the fall lineup, bringing even more options to the table. Bluefish are known for their quick strikes and strong runs, while sheepshead hold near docks and rockier areas where they’re often seen feeding. Each of these species provides its own challenge and adds variety to any day out.
