Murrells Inlet: South Carolina’s Best Fishing and Golfing

The inlet itself is an inshore angler’s dream. It’s an enclosed system, one of very few inlets on the east coast free from the influence of the Intracoastal Waterway or coastal rivers. There’s no dirty water flowing in from upstream, and this system of marshes and backwaters is a completely saltwater environment, with no freshwater pumping in to reduce salinity. The result is excellent fishing and exploration of backwater creeks for speckled trout, redfish and the doormat flounder that Murrells Inlet has gained a reputation for.

Jaguar Guapote, also known as the jaguar cichlid, is an established non-native species in Florida, particularly in coastal canal systems in the southeastern part of the state, including the Everglades and areas from West Palm Beach south. It is an aggressive, predatory fish that can negatively impact native fish populations and is also a popular sport fish with good culinary value.
