What You’ll Catch: Shark Species of Myrtle Beach
The nearshore waters off Myrtle Beach are loaded with hard-fighting, photogenic sharks. Here are some of the species we regularly encounter:
- Blacktip Sharks – These agile predators are fast, feisty, and often leap clear out of the water when hooked. They’re a crowd favorite for their fight and style.
- Spinner Sharks – Known for their aerial acrobatics and high-speed runs. They’re thrilling to catch and a blast to watch.
- Bull Sharks – Thick-bodied and powerful, bull sharks bring the kind of tug-of-war that makes legends out of anglers.
- Sandbar Sharks – A common and cooperative catch, perfect for families and younger anglers.
- Tiger Sharks – Occasionally caught on longer trips, these massive, slow-cruising hunters are unforgettable if you’re lucky enough to connect.
When to Go: Shark Fishing Seasons
Shark fishing in Myrtle Beach is best from late spring through early fall, when warmer waters draw these predators in closer to shore.
- Spring (April–May): A strong start to the season, especially for blacktips and spinners.
- Summer (June–August): Peak shark fishing season. All species are active and abundant.
- Fall (September–October): Continued strong action, often with fewer crowds on the water.
How We Fish: Techniques & Tactics
We fish for sharks using proven methods tailored to the conditions and target species:
- Chumming to draw them in from a distance
- Drift fishing for active cruisers in the mid-column
- Bottom fishing to tempt laid-back bruisers on the seabed
You’ll be geared up with heavy-duty spinning or conventional tackle, and coached every step of the way by an experienced captain. We keep the fight fun and safe, whether you’re nine or ninety.
