Sun and Moon
The sun will be at it's highest point at . Today we have 11:21 hours of daylight. For shallow water fishing the twilight periods are often the most productive fishing times, especially on days when a major or minor time will coincide with twilight. In low light conditions predators have better cover for their ambush and often hunt in shallow water.

We can compare the current moon distance to it's minimum and maximum distance from earth and express that as proximity. A high proximity means the moon is closer to earth. At 50% it would be at it's mean distance. A high proximity causes big tides, currents and has a direct effect on increased bite times. A proximity greater than 90% indicates a super moon.

For fishing, stronger tides are often favourable as they cause stronger currents and more motion on the sea bed. The above tidal coefficients give us an indication of how strong the tides are compared to their average. A value over 90 indicates very strong tides, known as spring tides. A low value indicates weak tides, known as neap tides. The tidal coefficient can range from 20 to 120 with a mean value of 70. A higher number usually indicates better fishing.

7 Day Fishing Weather
The weather plays an important role in fishing. Wind strenght and direction often determine where you can fish and where fish might be holding. Although high pressure is usually good for fishing, steep pressure changes often trigger feeding frenzies and are great times for fishing. Of course temperature has also a strong effect on fishing and comfort on the water. So make sure to cross check the weather forecast with the solunar fishing times to determine the best times to go fishing. The graph below shows you the 3 hourly weather progression over the next 7 days. Scroll the graph left or right to see more.

October Fishing Report

October brings cooling water and active bait along Myrtle Beach. In the surf, look for red drum pushing schools of mullet at first light and dusk; cast cut mullet or fresh shrimp into the sloughs between sandbars. Speckled trout are firing in creeks and along jetties on the moving tide, with MirrOlures and shrimp under popping corks producing steady strikes.

Inside the inlets, flounder hold on drop-offs and dock edges; slow-roll finger mullet or mud minnows near the bottom. Piers report runs of spot and whiting on bloodworms and Fishbites, plus roaming bluefish and the occasional late Spanish mackerel when water is clean and bait is tight to the beach.

On nearshore reefs (3–10 miles), structure is holding black sea bass, weakfish, and sheepshead; use fiddler crabs or jigs tipped with shrimp. After a fall front, a day or two of lighter winds and clearing water typically improves the bite. Best windows are early morning and the last two hours of incoming tide.

Top tip: Follow birds and bait—if you see pelicans and gulls diving over nervous mullet, get a spoon or swimbait in quickly and keep a rod ready with a live finger mullet for a cruising red or mackerel.

Best Fishing Spots in the greater Myrtle Beach area

Beaches and Bays are ideal places for land-based fishing. If the beach is shallow and the water is clear then twilight times are usually the best times, especially when they coincide with a major or minor fishing time. Often the points on either side of a beach are the best spots. Or if the beach is large then look for irregularities in the breaking waves, indicating sandbanks and holes. We found 16 beaches and bays in this area.

Similar to river mouths, harbour entrances are also great places to fish as lots of fish will move in and out with the rising and falling tides. There are 1 main harbours in this area.
