As the cold of winter slowly dissipates and we look forward to a new year, one thing that should excite us all is the upcoming fishing seasons in Myrtle Beach! With its scenic coastline, abundant species of fish, and various activities for experienced anglers and novice fishers alike, there’s never been a better time to plan for your Myrtle Beach Fishing adventure. Let’s explore what you can expect come 2023.
Spring
The spring months around the Myrtle Beach area are a great time to test your fishing skills! As the temperatures start to warm and winter fades away, many baitfish begin moving into the estuaries. Blue crabs also start the molting process, and large schools of red drums break into smaller groups.
By late March, flounder start entering the inlets and beaches, and speckled sea trout transition from deeper holding areas around the Intracoastal to seek shallow waters for feeding. Whether you’re a novice or a seasoned angler, this is an ideal time to explore various types of fishing as long as you bear in mind that it can be tricky! However, suitable weather conditions and proper tactics lead to great memories on the water!
Summer
Summer offers excellent fishing opportunities, and many anglers choose to get out on the water this season. You can expect to come across various species during your time out there, such as redfish, tarpon, sharks, black drum, flounder, and sea trout. Once the temperature climbs in the summertime, though, we prioritize catching those big tarpon and redfish! Wade fishing can be gratifying during flood tides as plenty of redfish will be around in search of food.
Fall
Fall fishing is prime time along the Grand Strand, and I can tell you there’s no better way to spend a day on the water. With the mullet run in action, shrimp are grown to their full size, and tarpon, sharks, and trophy red drum pack on weight for the winter ahead; it’s a truly memorable experience.
Redfish and speckled sea trout often school up this time of year, so keep an eye out for them feeding under birds or chasing after shrimp in shallow water – it’s a sight like no other. But don’t forget about monitoring weather patterns! The fishing activity before cold fronts move through is often remarkable, with feeding activity off the charts.
Winter
Winter sight fishing can be an incredible experience. If you’re looking to catch redfish, this is the year to do it! With mild weather and clear waters, these larger fish species often congregate in large schools on shallow water flats and make easy targets for keen eyes and talented casts.
If the water temperatures drop too much, these prey-centric fish will have to move out to deeper waters where temperatures are more stable for survival. Winter fishing is a memorable experience that every seasoned angler should have on their list.
