Redfish

If you're targeting Redfish near North Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, you're in for a treat. The inshore waters and brackish estuaries here provide excellent habitat. The best time to target them is during the spring and fall when the water temperatures are moderate. Focus on areas with structure like oyster beds, docks, and grass lines. Live shrimp under a popping cork is a classic and effective presentation. However, don't overlook artificial lures like soft plastic swimbaits or gold spoons. A local's secret? Fish the ICW (Intracoastal Waterway) around Little River Inlet on a falling tide. Redfish will often congregate near creek mouths to ambush bait being flushed out. Be mindful of the strong currents in this area. Also, remember that South Carolina has slot limits for Redfish, so know the regulations before you go.
