Myrtle Beach Fishing Reports

These monthly fishing reports document observed conditions across Myrtle Beach and the northern Grand Strand, based on routine charter operations and seasonal patterns rather than forecasts or guarantees.

Each report reflects real-world observations from local waters including Myrtle Beach, North Myrtle Beach, Little River, Murrells Inlet, Horry County, South Carolina, Calabash, Sunset Beach, Ocean Isle Beach, Brunswick County, North Carolina. Conditions noted may include water temperature trends, weather stability, water clarity, general fish positioning, and how patterns shift throughout the month.

Reports are written as time-stamped field notes, capturing how conditions actually unfolded during that specific period. Older reports are intentionally left unchanged to preserve historical accuracy and seasonal context.

These updates are authored by Captain Keith Logan, a U.S. Coast Guard–licensed captain with more than 40 years of experience fishing the Carolina coast, and published by North Myrtle Beach Fishing Charters, a locally operated charter company serving the Grand Strand.
