Seasonal Activity Chart
Spotted Seatrout
If you're looking for Spotted Seatrout around North Myrtle Beach, you're in a prime location. The Cherry Grove and Little River inlets, along with the Intracoastal Waterway, offer excellent brackish water habitat these fish love. Spring and fall are peak seasons as the water temperatures moderate, driving baitfish activity. Focus your efforts around oyster beds, docks, and grass lines, especially during moving tides. A local tip: Live shrimp under a popping cork is hard to beat, but don't overlook artificial shrimp imitations. Pay attention to water clarity; trout prefer cleaner water, so move around until you find it. The trout here can be quite finicky, so vary your retrieve and presentation until you find what they want. Remember to check the local tide charts; a falling tide often concentrates baitfish and triggers feeding frenzies.
