Great Fishing Along the Carolina Coast

Most people only think of Myrtle Beach as a great place to vacation because of the Atlantic Ocean, but the Atlantic Ocean is also a great place for sport and deep sea fishing. Myrtle Beach fishing includes pier fishing, charter and charter boat fishing, surf and channel fishing, river and freshwater fishing, as well as fishing in the Intracoastal Waterway.

Good fishing is not hard to find in Myrtle Beach. There are plenty of places where your family and friends can charter a boat by yourselves or go along with the experts. With most services you can rent by the hour, take a half a day, or spend the whole day on the ocean. And best of all, your fee should cover everything you need to get started. Visit Captain Dick's and you pay a one time fee which will cover your rod, bait, tackle and fishing license. Everything you need to fill the boat full of fish.

There's a lot to factor in when you're trying to plan your Myrtle Beach fishing trip. But just knowing how long you'd like to stay out, what type of fish you want to catch, or how far out into the ocean you want to go will narrow everything down to create your ultimate Myrtle Beach fishing trip. Spend the day on the Gulf Stream, Continental Shelf Fishing, or Sea Bass Fishing. But maybe you'd rather try Game Fishing or Shark Fishing. It's your Myrtle Beach fishing trip, and where you drop the hook is up to you.

Here are some of the fish you can expect (or hope!) to catch off Myrtle Beach's coast: black sea bass, snapper, grouper, sea bass, trigger, dolphin, wahoo, Spanish mackerel, and king mackerel.
