Flounder
Pawleys Island is a fantastic location to target flounder, especially the southern flounder. These flatfish are ambush predators, so focus on areas with structure like docks, oyster beds, and creek mouths. The fall is a particularly productive time as flounder migrate offshore. Drifting live bait, such as mud minnows or small mullet, along the bottom is a proven tactic. A Carolina rig is a good choice for this presentation. Flounder fishing is best when the water is relatively clear. A local tip is to target the edges of the ICW (Intracoastal Waterway) near inlets during a moving tide. These areas often hold flounder waiting to ambush prey. Be patient and persistent, and you'll be rewarded.
