Pawleys Island Fishing Seasons

January

The beginning of the year is a good time to hit the salt marshes around Pawleys Island in search of a variety of inshore game fish like Redfish, Speckled Trout, and Black Drum, so hit the water and fish on!

February

Weather permitting, February has a lot to offer. Aside from healthy-sized Redfish that you can target on a fly, you can also go after Seabass, Black Drum, and Speckled Trout. Oystering is another popular pastime in these parts.

March

With spring come more fishing opportunities than you can count. Flounder are starting to become more active in the shallow waters, as well as Sheepshead, and the Redfish bite is still very good.

April

Flounder is one of the most popular catches around Pawleys Island and in April, both the weather and the bite are hot. If you want a change of pace, target Bull Redfish, Sheepshead, or nice big Speckled Trout.

May

If you’re coming to fish with your little ones, then Pawleys Creek is a great place to have some fun. Whether it’s Trout, Flounder, or Redfish you’re after, the creek is teeming with beautiful and sometimes trophy-sized fish.

June

If you’re in the mood for something different in June, why not try fly fishing for Sharks? It’s challenging, it’s exciting, and it’s so much fun. Bonnethead and Blacktip Sharks prowl these inshore waters and they’re always hungry.

July
In July, beautiful, hard-fighting Tarpon are back in town! This is the king of all inshore game fish, the ultimate acrobat, and you can target it both on a fly and using conventional tackle, the choice is yours.
August

This is one of the best times to go fishing around Pawleys Island. Your choice of fish is diverse and there are many Trout, Flounder, Redfish, and Tarpon that are hungry and ready to fight.

September

Wherever you go fishing in September, chances are, you’ll find something on your line. This is also your last chance to get a taste of Tarpon fishing, before these gorgeous fish are gone for the year.

October

Numerous inlets around Pawleys Island aren’t very crowded in October, which means you can head out and maybe catch your limit of Flounder, Redfish, Trout, or Sheepshead.

November

Flounder don’t particularly like cold water, which means they’ll be hiding, but there’s still plenty of fish to catch. Big Redfish and Black Drum are freely roaming around, and Speckled Trout action is still going strong.

December

Enjoy some solid action on the rivers and bays around Pawleys Island and see how many Trout, Black Drum, and Redfish you can find before the holiday season.

I guess I really can’t say. I don’t know what each individual expects. Some don’t care about fishing, or learning to, they just want the experience, and the fish. That could be to the captain’s advantage, bc then he gets to fish, and gets paid for it, lol

Contact CPT Nick at North Island Fishing Charters and get a four hour trip. He was extremely knowledgeable as to where the fish were and how to catch them. He was accommodating when the boys (12 & 19 yrs old) wanted to try catching different fish. He is a good dude that makes you feel like you are fishing with your buddy.

Find Captain Nick Brown for a great fishing experience! Stop in at Pawleys Island Outdoors to get the fishing supplies and bait. If you ask, they may even give you hints on what's biting. The inlet in Pawleys is a great place to fish for flounder, red fish, and spotted seatrout.

Weather was pleasant but super windy. In spite of this, Captain Nick put us on the fish. I hooked a 32” redfish(the biggest of my life! I’m 61)and we moved to another location and finished out the morning fish with a mess of speckled trout to bring home and grill for dinner. We caught lots of specs, but as always, they seem to be just under the keeper limit. We still had a great time and Captain Nick was very hospitable

What an experience! We booked the 4 hour pm trip with Nick. He is a great guy and took us to multiple spots. My son got to reel in the "monster" that he has been talking about for months now. Even though our trip was yesterday, we are already ready to book next vacation!

Unbelievable day, caught reds, drums, and flounder in the creeks in the morning. Then hooked into bull reds, in the afternoon. Captain Nick is awesome, great person and great a great guide. He’s been fishing these waters his whole life. Georgetown is a great fishery and he’s the right guy.

Nick took good care of my family. My 6 and 8 year old had a blast and we caught a variety of fish in 2 hours. The highlight of the trip was my 8-year-old catching a monster redfish and my 6-year-old catching a bull shark. Nick is a great captain and a top-notch dude. I'd give him 6 stars if I had that option.
