Fishing Conditions & Tips
🌊
Tides Matter
Incoming tides push baitfish into the creeks and marshes, triggering feeding activity. Fish the first 2 hours of incoming tide for best results around Pawleys Creek and the Causeway.
📅
Best Seasons
Spring (March–May) and Fall (September–November) are peak seasons for Red Drum and Speckled Trout. Summer is excellent for Flounder and offshore species at Apache Pier.
💧
Water Clarity
After heavy rain, water clarity drops and fishing slows. Wait 24–48 hours post-rain for the water to clear. Clear water calls for natural bait; murky water is better for brightly colored lures.
