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.Nov 12th, 20250

There’s magic in the way a mahi mahi lights up when it crashes a live bait. Electric greens, yellows, and blues; all pulsing with life, like the ocean itself.

Clapper Rails & Redfish Tails
When the moon is full and the king tides of the fall run high, the spartina grass will flood on Florida’s First Coast. The high water in the marsh allows redfish to access flats that are rarely under water. This phenomenon has a positive effect, providing the reds new real estate to hunt in and added items to their menu. This same flood tide that covers our tall grass and mangrove trees has a directly inverse effect on birds of the marsh such as the Clapper Rail, better known as the Marsh Hen. The high tide reduces most of their cover that they use to hide in when it floods. The result is a concentration of the birds that makes them possible to hunt effectively and kicks off a seasonal southern tradition as well. Nov 4th, 20250

Kayaking Adventure in the Chandeleur Islands

Hooking Blue Marlin in the Gulf off Venice, Louisiana
If you are saltwater fishing in blue water and live on the Mississippi Gulf Coast there’s two choices. Either you ride or drive to the blue water. Obviously, if the vessel is a sport fisher the choice has been made in advance, but if your boat can be trailered, well then I believe the term is road trip. In most cases, either way, the trip is going to cost about three hours of drive/ride time. Oct 19th, 2012National
