Flounder
Targeting flounder around Myrtle Beach means understanding the inshore ecosystem. The Intracoastal Waterway and its tidal creeks are prime spots. These fish are ambush predators, so focus on areas with structure like docks, oyster beds, and grass edges. Spring and fall are typically the best times, as flounder migrate inshore and offshore with the changing water temperatures. Live baitfish like mullet or mud minnows rigged on a Carolina rig are hard to beat. A local tip: the Cherry Grove area is known for its flounder population, especially around the pilings of the old pier (even though the pier itself is gone). Also, be mindful of the tides; flounder often move with the current, so position yourself accordingly to intercept them. Keep your drag set light, as flounder have soft mouths.
