Sun and Moon Times

The sun will be at it's highest point at . Today we have 14:45 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.

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.

Fishing Overview Georgetown

Georgetown, South Carolina is built for anglers, with miles of tidal marsh, cypress-lined rivers, and direct access to Winyah Bay and the Atlantic. The key is understanding how salinity, tides, and seasons shift fish between the rivers, bay, and beachfront.

Spring fishing around Georgetown kicks off in the creeks and marsh edges as water temps climb into the 60s. Red drum and speckled trout slide onto shallow oyster bars and flooded grass on rising tides. Work 3–4 inch soft plastics on 1/8–1/4 oz jig heads around points, drains, and shell rakes from the South Santee River up through the Waccamaw. Live shrimp under a popping cork is deadly around current seams in Winyah Bay, especially near creek mouths dumping into the main channel.

By summer, focus early and late around the jetties, nearshore reefs, and deeper river holes. At the Georgetown jetties, target trout and redfish with live mullet or menhaden on a Carolina rig, keeping baits tight to the rocks on the last of the incoming and first of the outgoing tide. Spanish mackerel, bluefish, and the occasional king mackerel push bait just outside Winyah Bay; cast small metal spoons or trolling Clark spoons behind planers along tide lines and bird activity. Inside the rivers, fish deeper bends and outside curves with cut mullet for red drum and black drum when midday heat pushes them off the flats.

Fall is the prime inshore season. Shrimp and mullet pour out of the creeks, and redfish, trout, and flounder stack up at ambush points. Work the edges of main bay channels, dock pilings, and feeder creek mouths on moving water. Soft-plastic paddletails in natural hues, MirrOlure-style hard baits, and live finger mullet excel. Flounder hunters do best slowly dragging mud minnows or finger mullet along the bottom around inlets, bulkheads, and sandy drop-offs near the bay’s outer edges.

In winter, concentrate on deeper holes in the Sampit, Waccamaw, and Black rivers where water temps are slightly warmer. Trout hold near sharp drops, bridge pilings, and channel edges—fish slow with small jig heads and soft plastics, giving them long pauses. Redfish often school tightly on shallow mud flats that warm quickly on sunny afternoons; sight-fish them with gold spoons or small weedless plastics on low, clear tides.

The rivers and blackwater backwaters offer a bonus freshwater fishery. Largemouth bass, crappie, and panfish thrive in back creeks and oxbows off the Waccamaw and Pee Dee. Target bass with spinnerbaits, Texas-rigged worms, and frogs around cypress knees and laydowns. For catfish, anchor on deep outside bends and present cut bait or live bream on the bottom.

Offshore and nearshore, anglers run from Georgetown Landing Marina to reefs and livebottom. Nearshore structures hold black sea bass, spadefish, and triggerfish; drop squid-tipped bottom rigs or jig smaller metals tight to the structure. Farther out, trollers chase king mackerel, mahi, wahoo, tuna, and sails along temperature breaks and weedlines, pulling a spread of skirted ballyhoo and diving plugs. Watch your sea surface temperature charts and focus on edges where cleaner, warmer water meets cooler green water.

Across the entire Georgetown area, tides rule. Plan trips around strong moving water, match bait size to the local forage, and adjust your depth and presentation to the salinity line—more salt and predators closer to Winyah Bay and the inlet, more freshwater species as you push upriver.
