Best Fishing Options in Myrtle Beach

By Vacation Myrtle Beach

Return from your Myrtle Beach vacation with a stellar fish story, or a tale of the Big One that Got Away. Vacation Myrtle Beach’s fishing charter partners can take you wherever the fish are running, so you can land the catch of the day, if not the year!

Fishing is a popular sport in the Myrtle Beach area. The coastal waters are rich with black sea bass, snapper, grouper, trigger fish, dolphin fish (mahi mahi), wahoo, Spanish mackerel cobia, flounder, and other varieties just off the beautiful coastline. You can hop on board a fishing charter boat just minutes away from your Myrtle Beach hotel.

Check out these charter companies to plan a fishing trip on your Myrtle Beach getaway.

Calabash Fishing Fleet offers deep sea fishing trips for beginners to experts, including 12-hour Gulf Stream trips, half-day fishing trips, and other outings year-round. If you’re looking for a more unusual adventure, you can also fish for shark on summer nights. If you prefer sightseeing to fishing, opt to relax on a dolphin adventure cruise. The Calabash Fishing Fleet includes multiple boats and worry-free cruises that have a great, family-friendly atmosphere. Limited trips allow for more fishing room and fewer tangled lines, while large group charters can accommodate up to 70 passengers. Sit back and enjoy your fishing adventure, because Calabash Fishing Fleet has everything taken care of.

Reel Action fishing charters allows you to head out for a fishing trip with nothing but what you’d like to eat or drink for the day. Reel Action provides the rods, reels, bait, tackle, and other equipment, as well as the fishing licenses. Gather your group of up to six fishing enthusiasts to head down the Intracoastal Waterway for a day of unforgettable fishing. Dolphin and Eco-Tours are also available upon request, as well as a shrimping charter.

If you’re vacationing with children who are too young for a deep-sea boating adventure, or if you simply prefer to keep your feet closer to land, try your hand at fishing from Apache Pier. Apache Pier is the longest wooden fishing pier on the East Coast. It’s open 365 days per year, and has a full bait and tackle shop where you can buy and rent fishing equipment for a fun-filled day. VMB cardholders receive a full day of fishing for $18 plus deposit, including a rod rental, daily fishing pass, and bait.
