Redfish for Everyone: Summer Inshore Fun in Murrells Inlet
If there’s one fish that brings a smile to everyone’s face in Murrells Inlet, it’s the redfish. And in the middle of July, they’re biting like crazy. The best part? You don’t need to be a pro to catch one. Redfish are the great equalizer. Kids, parents, first-timers, and seasoned anglers all get in on the fun.
Why Everyone Loves Redfish
Redfish (also called red drum) are the perfect inshore target. They pull hard, they fight with heart, and they show up in numbers that keep the whole boat busy (they also taste great too!). When a redfish grabs your line, you feel it and that thrill hits just as hard whether you’re eight years old or eighty.

They’re also easy to recognize with their copper color and that signature black spot near the tail. Landing one is a photo-worthy moment every single time.
Summer Is Prime Redfish Time
Mid-July is a fantastic time to chase redfish around Murrells Inlet. The warm water has them active and feeding, and our captains know exactly where they’re holding: along oyster beds, marsh grass edges, and the tidal creeks that wind through the inlet. When the bite is on, it’s solid action.

That steady, all-ages excitement is what makes a summer redfish trip such a hit for families and groups looking to make the most of their Myrtle Beach vacation.
Fun for the Whole Crew
Here’s what makes redfish trips so great: everybody catches. We’ve watched little kids reel in reds almost as big as they are, moms out-fish the whole boat, and first-timers hook their very first fish and light up like it’s Christmas morning.
