Mytle beach fishing

jgtbullfrog · 11-01-2009, 01:02 PM

I will be going to Myrtle Beach in mid November. Anyone know of the best species of fish to target this time of year, inshore or offshore. I am most interested in shark fishing. Any recommendations.

I can tell you that Myrtle Beach (and maybe the entire county??) does not allow you to "target" Sharks.
If you pull in a Shark on a 3/0 hook or a top/bottom rig, no worries. But if you pull one in and have a big hook, one larger than normally used for other non-Shark species, you may get a ticket (or worse??).

It's a tourism thing.
Guess they don't want the tourists that bring money into the local economy to believe there are things out there that have teeth.

Steve,
Thanks for the information. I have contacted a few charters and they have not made any mention of that. If you were going to hire a charter do you have any recommendations? What would you target in mid November?

Sorry, I should have said "from the beach".
Sharkin' not permitted on the beach.
My bad....

Mid November, depending on the tide height is still great inshore for trout and reds. Offshore I would stay with Black sea bass, which seem to be plentiful right now.

Any sharks offshore? Snapper/grouper?

FYI, Sharks are a nuisance.

Agree with BigPumper

If you have a boat, go to the shark hole, 25 miles E-NE of Little River Inlet, 137 degrees. N33 37.724 W78 12.426

Download the regs for size & limits -- if it were up to me, take home all you want.

You should not have a problem finding sharks. Tommy Scarborough is out of Georgetown. I saw his charter catching monster Reds the other day.

www.acesupfishing.com/trip_info ( hope this link works.... won't work at work... damn filters.)

Aces up is the best shark fisherman in Murrell Inlet... by far. He actually tagets them. Pulling in a 10+ ft Tiger is a normal outing.

Tea 2 Sea

Is a grat guide that will put you on sharks, but target other game fish. He actually has a show in SC.... reelin up the coast.

Tell him Coates had you call... should get a good discount.
