Fishing Little River

Little River to Georgetown: long ocean piers, inlets and the Waccamaw Neck.

What's biting now (Fall): Redfish, flounder and spotted seatrout are all at their best in the creeks and inlets.

Commonly caught in this area: Spanish mackerel, flounder, whiting, red drum and king mackerel from pier ends.

Also caught here: whiting, croaker, bluefish, king mackerel, Spanish mackerel, blacktip shark.

Inlets funnel bait in and out with every tide, and predators wait at the edges. Fish the last part of the incoming and first part of the outgoing tide, and watch the current - inlets can be dangerous for small boats.

How the bite outlook works

The rating is our estimate, not a guarantee. It combines tide range, wind, rain and storms, temperature swings, the moon phase and how well the solunar periods line up with dawn and dusk. Fish do not read forecasts - local knowledge always wins. Read more
