Myrtle Beach Fly Fishing & Inshore Fishing Charters
The Myrtle Beach area offers some of the most diverse fishing opportunities along the South Carolina coast. When we say "Myrtle Beach," we're talking about far more than the beachfront. Our trips cover the rivers, creeks, marshes, inlets, and Intracoastal Waterway from Little River to Winyah Bay in Georgetown, giving anglers access to both freshwater and saltwater fisheries throughout the year.
Whether you prefer fly fishing or conventional tackle, every trip is customized to match your experience level and the best seasonal opportunities. Beginners are welcome, while experienced anglers enjoy technical sight fishing and challenging presentations.
Get to Know Us
Saltwater Inshore Fishing
The Grand Strand is home to miles of shallow flats, oyster bars, grass-lined creeks, and productive estuaries. These waters provide excellent opportunities to target a wide variety of inshore species using either fly or conventional tackle.
Depending on the season, you may target:
• Redfish
• Speckled Trout
• Flounder
• Black Drum
• Sheepshead
• Bonnethead Sharks
• Blacktip Sharks
• Spinner Sharks
• Bluefish
• Jack Crevalle
• Tarpon (seasonal)
Many trips focus on sight fishing, where anglers actively search for fish before making accurate presentations. Few experiences compare to watching a redfish or shark eat a well-placed fly or artificial lure in shallow water.
Freshwater Rivers & Blackwater Fisheries
Beyond the salt marsh lies another incredible fishery. The blackwater rivers flowing into Winyah Bay offer quiet scenery, abundant wildlife, and excellent freshwater fishing throughout much of the year.
These rivers feature cypress swamps, lily pads, fallen timber, and winding channels that create ideal habitat for:
• Largemouth Bass
• Bowfin
• Bluegill
• Redbreast Sunfish
• Warmouth
• Chain Pickerel
• Crappie (seasonal)
Whether you're casting topwater flies at sunrise or fishing artificial lures around cypress knees, these waters offer a completely different experience from the coast while remaining only a short drive from Myrtle Beach.
Fly Fishing or Conventional Tackle
Every charter is available as either a fly fishing or conventional light tackle trip.
Fly anglers enjoy technical sight fishing for redfish, sharks, bass, and panfish using premium rods, reels, and hand-selected flies. Conventional anglers fish with quality spinning tackle and artificial lures designed for local conditions.
All equipment is provided, and beginners are always welcome.
