Most fishing on the Grand Strand is saltwater, with charters, most based in Little River, taking anglers well into Atlantic waters. Tuna, wahoo, mackerel, and dolphin (not the mammal!) are big in the hot months, while snapper and grouper are caught year-round but best in the colder months.
A good operator up in Little River is Longway Fishing Charters (843/249-7813, www.longwaycharters.com), who specializes in offshore fishing.
Another out of the same area is Capt. Smiley’s Inshore Fishing (843/361-7445, www.captainsmileyfishingcharters.com).
Fish Hook Charters (2200 Little River Neck Rd., 843/283-7692, www.fishhookcharters.com) takes a 34-foot boat out from North Myrtle Beach.
For surf fishing on the beach, you do not need a license of any type. All other types of fishing require a valid South Carolina fishing license, available for a nominal fee online at www.dnr.sc.gov or at any tackle shop and most grocery stores.
