AHQ INSIDER North Grand Strand (SC) Fall 2018 Fishing Report – Updated October 19
October 19
Inshore water temperatures on the north end of the Grand Strand are in the mid-70s, and the water is starting to clean up after the hurricane. There are very few shrimp in the creeks after the storm flushed them out.
With two major storms it’s been a wild start to the fall in the Little River area, but Captain Patrick “Smiley” Kelly reports that as the water moves from heavily stained to clearer the fishing continues to be good.
The biggest change since last report is that the bull red drum in the 35-45 inch range are showing up in the inlet. They can be caught around the jetties in 20-35 feet of water. This is strictly a catch-and-release fishery, and the tackle of choice is live or cut mullet on a Carolina rig with a 2-ounce sinker and a 6/0 circle hook.
Inshore there are plenty of smaller reds to be caught in the creeks, and they have been biting Gulp! shrimp, live finger mullet and shrimp. Fish are holding shallow around the grass and oyster beds, and the incoming tide has been the best recently.
Black drum can be caught in holes and around oyster beds on live shrimp. The low to rising tide has been best.
The trout bite has been pretty good recently. Fish can be caught on topwater lures, and they can also be caught in the Intracoastal around ledges and drops in about 10 feet of water. Live shrimp under a popping cork are hard to beat.
Captain Smiley’s boats are also picking up some flounder here and there.
Cherry Grove Pier reports that pier fishing has been excellent recently, and just this Monday eleven king mackerel were caught off the pier. They have also caught some nice 19-20 inch Spanish mackerel as well as flounder in the same size range. Slot-sized redfish have been coming off the pier as well as a bunch of (mostly undersized) trout. There are of course whiting, pinfish, and some spot around.
