Over the summer, the flounder fishery runs strong inside the estuaries and around the inlets close to Little River. Anglers get plenty of opportunities to reach their limit with a bucketful of mud minnows or their favorite soft-plastic bait, but the inshore lairs aren’t the only places to load up on a limit of flounder either.

In the middle of the summer, the Grand Strand’s public waterways fill up with just about every type of vessel imaginable, from kayaks and jet skis to the 200-foot gambling ships loaded with vacationers looking to hit the jackpot. […]
Before he received his calling to the pulpit, pastor David Mammay of Southport was one of the premiere inshore-nearshore guides around Southport, and it appears that he hasn’t lost his touch, as evidenced by a 13.02-pound flounder he caught on June 14 in the Cape Fear River. […]
Guides Toby Fulford and Kevin Sneed of Rigged & Ready Fishing Charters use similar live-bait trolling tactics for flounder. […]

Flounder fishing is hot in the Murrells Inlet area right now, and while many anglers prefer to anchor down near likely holes and probe those areas with jigs or mud minnows, Dale Turner of Pawleys Island prefers to use a different tactic.
A student at Carolina Forest High School went fishing with his dad and a family friend last Saturday in Murrells Inlet and went home with $1500 for his efforts. Joe Scheu, a senior at the school, was fishing in the 15th annual Grand Strand Saltwater Anglers Flounder Tournament when he caught the 21 1/2-inch fish, which weighed 4.45 pounds.
Martin Dane stood along the bank of a small creek as the tide came in, slowly reeling in a curly-tailed grub, rod tip held high. He seemed to be concentrating really hard, lowered the rod tip, and continued reeling slowly. […]
