The fish Myrtle Beach anglers chase year-round, inshore and off:
Myrtle Beach is built for accessible fishing: you can soak bait off the pier or surf for whiting, pompano and bluefish without a boat, and the Grand Strand piers are productive Spanish-mackerel platforms when the fish run tight to the beach in summer. Murrells Inlet, just south, opens the creek system for redfish and flounder. The nearshore reefs and live bottom carry king mackerel and the occasional cobia for anglers who get offshore.
