Target Species

Plenty of Redfish and Speckled trout can still be caught in Pawleys Island and Georgetown in the cold winter months. These fish are often found in larger schools during this time of year, typically hunkering down around structure in areas with less tide to swim against.

Sea Trout usually spend their time grouped up and seeking shallow warmer water. Think about where that warmer water might be. If you can find a shallow water area with bait there will probably be trout around and redfish not far away. Working lures low and slow is usually the key for winter fishing..

FISHING TIPS

Below is a list of the different species of fish that we target. While we hope that we can help guide you to that monster catch, enjoy some of the same tips and techniques that we employ to get a fish on the line.

Flounder are probably the first fish most people think of with inshore saltwater fishing. Not only do they look unusual, they are some of the best eating fish the ocean offers. This area is also popular for Speckled Trout and Redfish too.

Drifting live and dead shrimp with a regular bobber or a Slip Bobber is a popular technique in this area. Playing with the depth setting on these bobbers is important to find these fish. Artificial shrimp are popular soft plastic lures as well as paddle tails. Suspending and sinking twitch-baits are also a great choice. Trolling with twitch baits and mirrolures is often a popular strategy in the cooler months. Larger trout typically hit larger lures that mimic finfish instead of shrimp. Some days you have to go through your entire arsenal of tackle to find the one lure that will entice a trout, flounder, or redfish. Changing the weight of the jig head, color of the bait, size of the bait, speed of retrieval, and depth at which you are fishing can help when a bite is hard to come by.”
