Spotted Seatrout
If you're after Spotted Seatrout, the marshes and creeks around Myrtle Beach offer excellent opportunities. These fish are ambush predators, so focus your efforts around oyster beds, grass lines, and creek mouths. Live shrimp under a popping cork is a classic presentation, but artificial lures like soft plastics and topwater plugs can also be effective. Spring and fall are prime times for seatrout fishing, as the water temperatures are moderate and the fish are actively feeding. A key local tip: target areas with moving water, as this will concentrate baitfish and attract seatrout. Consider launching from the Socastee boat ramp for access to the Intracoastal Waterway and surrounding creeks. The seatrout in this area are known for their beautiful coloration and willingness to strike lures, making for a fun and rewarding fishing experience.
