Seasonal Activity Chart
Spotted Seatrout
If you're after spotted seatrout, Pawleys Island's creeks and estuaries are a great place to start. The warmer months, especially spring and fall, are ideal as the trout move into shallower waters to feed. Focus on areas with oyster beds and grass lines, as these provide cover and attract baitfish. A popping cork with a soft plastic shrimp imitation is a classic and effective presentation. Remember that water temperature plays a big role; trout become less active in very cold water. A local tip is to launch from the public boat ramp at the end of Pawleys Island and explore the creeks at low tide to identify promising structure. Pay attention to the wind direction, as it can quickly change conditions in the shallow waters.
