Thread: Murrells Inlet???

Sorry I have never fresh water fished near murrells inlet. There is some good flounder fisher there though.

All the rivers that you fish wind up dumping into the ocean and turn brackish at a certain point. These are great rivers for lots of species, all kinds of bream, largemouth, catfish, flounder, seatrout, red drum, ect ect ect. But with the awesome saltwater fishing available, I'd spend my time in the salt. It's addictive. And you just never know what you're gonna pull up.

Duckman, I live in shallotte NC on the coast and trust me once you get in the salt and catch something like a big red or trout, your days of crappie fishing may be over. But just in case, there is the Wacamaw river nearby that has a good bream and crappie population. Catfish too if you are into that but I tell you, the salt really is addictive like smoothlures says. There is a lot of backwater around murrels inlet that holds TONS of redfish and speckled trout. You can also get into cast netting for shrimp down that way which is a good way to stock your freezer with tasty shrimp for the winter. Another thing that I found addictive as heck is flounder gigging. If youv'e ever night stalked crappie then you are gonna love gigging. Anyway, you'll have a ton of stuff to keep you busy trust me.

the waccamaw river flows right by murrells inlet. if you ask anybody where wacawache marina is they can tell you, i used to live in murrells inlet and there are some great redbreast and bream and shell cracker fishing. when you put in at the marina you can go to the left towards georgetown and they are dozens of creeks that go back to old ricefields, it is tide controlled and they bite best for me on the tide going downn.
