As summer kicks into high gear, a small estuary on the southern end of South Carolina’s Grand Strand fires off; Murrells Inlet becomes ground zero in the flounder-fishing world, attracting anglers from two blocks away and from different time zones, all looking to soak a minnow and fill up. […]
Many anglers on South Carolina’s Edisto Island give up on speckled trout in the heat of June, and while they find it’s easier to catch redfish and flounder, they are missing out on some good fishing. […]
The winds blew almost 30 mph out of the southwest at the end of this week, putting an end to a great cobia bite off the Hatteras end of North Carolina’s Outer Banks and leaving fishermen looking toward the end of a big four- or five-day blow for the next wave of cobia to arrive. […]
