Best places to fish in Myrtle Beach

40 listings · ranked by rating & reviews · updated 2026

Myrtle Beach fishing spreads across the Grand Strand, with much of the charter fleet running out of Murrells Inlet just to the south. Inshore trips work the tidal creeks and inlet for redfish, speckled trout and flounder on light tackle. Just off the beach, boats chase Spanish and king mackerel through the warm months. The big-water option is a long run to the Gulf Stream, where captains troll for mahi, tuna and wahoo and drop over the live bottom for snapper and grouper. Nearshore and inlet trips suit families and first-timers; full-day offshore runs are for anglers chasing pelagics and bottom fish. Spring through fall is prime, with mackerel and inshore action peaking in the warm months. Confirm the boat, trip length and per-person split before booking.
