Why Fall Is Perfect for Young Anglers
October might just be the sweetest month of the year to get your kids out on the water.
The summer heat has eased off, the marsh breeze feels great, and the fish are hungry before winter. That means more action, more smiles, and less waiting — exactly what young anglers need to stay hooked (pun intended).
Easy Bites, Big Fun
This time of year, the creeks are full of small redfish, trout, and even black drum — the perfect size for kids to reel in without a ton of muscle.
Our captains love setting up simple rigs so every cast has a chance at a bite.
It’s hands-on, exciting, and educational all at once. Most kids don’t even realize how much they’re learning — from casting techniques to identifying fish species — because they’re too busy reeling and laughing.
Calm Waters, Cool Weather, and Wildlife
Murrells Inlet is built for family fishing. Protected creeks and calm waters mean no rough seas or long runs — just smooth cruising through the marsh. Plus, October brings tons of wildlife sightings. Dolphins often follow the boats, and egrets and ospreys put on a show overhead.
It’s an adventure for the kids and a relaxing break for the parents — the kind of day everyone remembers long after vacation’s over.
Memories That Stick Around
There’s nothing quite like watching your kid light up when they feel that first tug on the line. Fall gives you that perfect mix of great fishing and great weather to make it happen.
Whether it’s your child’s first fish or their fiftieth, those memories are the real catch of the day.
