Here’s the best part about fishing Murrells Inlet in the fall. You drop your bait down, and you have no clue what’s about to come up.
Could be a flounder. Could be a grouper. Could be a redfish that nearly yanks the rod out of your hands. This October, our anglers caught all of that and more. So if you’ve ever wondered what fish you can catch in Murrells Inlet, let us show you.
The Bull Red That Stole the Show
Dad and son teamed up on this one, and just look at those smiles. A big red like this pulls hard, and every second of that fight is worth it. A quick photo, then back it went to make more redfish.
A Flounder Worth Bragging About
Flounder aren’t just marsh fish. In the fall, they head out toward the ocean, and some big ones show up just off the beach. This one had our angler grinning ear to ear. And yes, they taste as good as they look.
Trout for the Win
Gray trout, also called weakfish, are a fall favorite. Fun fact: they get the name from their soft mouths, not because they’re easy to catch. Landing one takes a gentle touch, and this young angler nailed it.
Surprise! A Grouper Crashes the Party
Then there’s the fish nobody sees coming. This gag grouper came up off the bottom showing off that wild brown pattern. Grouper hang around structure in the ocean, so you never know when one will join the fun.
