Night Fishing Adventure in Myrtle Beach
Get ready for a totally different kind of night out in Myrtle Beach! Forget the crowded bars and noisy clubs – we're talking about a 4-hour fishing trip under the stars that'll have you hooked. Picture this: you're out on the calm waters, rod in hand, waiting for that telltale tug that means you've got a fighter on the line. Whether you're chasing the lightning-fast barracuda or hoping to land a chunky sea bass, this trip's got something for everyone. And the best part? You don't need to be a pro – our seasoned captains will show you the ropes and set you up with top-notch gear. So grab your buddies (up to 6 can join) and let's make some waves!
What's the Deal?
Alright, here's the scoop on our night fishing extravaganza. We'll push off as the sun's going down, giving you a prime-time slot to target some of Myrtle Beach's most sought-after fish. This isn't your average boat ride – we're talking about a real-deal fishing experience where you'll be in the thick of the action. Our captains know these waters like the back of their hand, so they'll take you right where the fish are biting. You'll be using our pro-grade equipment, which means you're in for a fair fight with whatever decides to take your bait. And let's be real, there's something extra special about feeling that bite in the dark – it really gets your heart racing!
Lights, Camera, Action!
Now, let's talk tactics. Night fishing is a whole different ball game, and we've got it down to a science. We use special lights to attract baitfish, which in turn lure in the big boys we're after. It's like setting up an all-you-can-eat buffet for the fish, and you're the chef! We'll show you how to work the rods, set the hooks, and reel in your catch like a pro. Depending on what's biting, we might do some bottom fishing for sea bass or troll for the speedsters like Spanish and king mackerel. And if you're lucky, you might even get to tangle with a barracuda or a shark – now that's a story for the group chat!
The Night's Top Targets
Let's break down the fish you might be reeling in on this nocturnal adventure:
Thresher Shark: These bad boys are known for their long, whip-like tails that they use to stun their prey. They're fast, they're strong, and hooking one is like hitting the jackpot. They're most active at night, making our trip prime time for a thresher showdown.
Spanish Mackerel: These zippy little fighters are a blast to catch. They school up at night, following the baitfish, so when you find them, it's game on. They're known for their blistering runs and acrobatic jumps – perfect for some night-time excitement.
King Mackerel: The bigger, badder cousin of the Spanish mackerel. Kings can grow over 5 feet long and put up one heck of a fight. They're predators, so they're on the hunt at night, making them a prime target for our trip.
Barracuda: With their menacing teeth and lightning-fast strikes, barracuda are the stuff of fishing legends. They're ambush predators, so they love hanging around our lights, waiting for an easy meal. Hooking one of these is guaranteed to get your adrenaline pumping.
Sea Bass: These might not be the biggest fish in the sea, but they're tasty and fun to catch. They hang out near the bottom, so we'll drop lines down and see what we can tempt. The best part? They're almost always hungry, so you're likely to feel that satisfying tug on your line.
Why Anglers Can't Get Enough
There's something magical about being out on the water at night. The city lights twinkling in the distance, the gentle lapping of waves against the boat, and the anticipation of what might be lurking beneath the surface – it's a rush like no other. Our regulars keep coming back because every trip is different. One night you might be hauling in mackerel left and right, the next you could be locked in an epic battle with a shark. Plus, let's be honest, there's nothing quite like the bragging rights that come with landing a big one under the stars. It's fishing, but with an extra dash of adventure.

Barracuda
Barracuda are sleek predators built for speed, hitting 35 mph in short bursts. Most run 2-4 feet long, but the big ones can reach 6 feet. You'll find them around reefs, wrecks, and other structure in 20-100 foot depths. They're ambush hunters with a mouthful of serious teeth. Cudas are a blast on light tackle, known for their fast runs and acrobatic jumps when hooked. Spring through fall is prime time. To target them, cast silver spoons or tube lures and retrieve fast. Live bait under a float works too. Use wire leaders to prevent bite-offs. Pro tip: barracuda are attracted to shiny things, so leave the bling on the boat. A cuda might mistake your watch or necklace for a baitfish!
King Mackerel
Kings are the big cousins of Spanish mackerel, commonly hitting 30 pounds with some monsters topping 90. You'll find them from 40 to 150 feet deep, with bigger fish often hanging closer to shore. They're speed demons, only matched by wahoo. Kings love warm water in the 70s and 80s. Summer and early fall are prime times here. Anglers target them for their hard fights and smoking runs. To hook into kings, slow-troll live bait like blue runners or menhaden. Use a stinger rig with two hooks - one in the nose, one trailing. Wire leaders are a must with those razor teeth. Kings will often bite the back half of the bait, so that trailing hook is key. For artificials, big diving plugs and spoons work well. Be ready for explosive strikes and screaming drags!
Sea Bass
Sea bass are bottom-dwellers that hang around hard structure like wrecks and reefs. Most average 1-2 feet long and a few pounds, but trophy fish can hit 5-6 pounds. They're aggressive feeders, which makes them fun to catch. You'll find them year-round, but fishing's best in spring and fall as they move inshore. Sea bass put up a good scrap on light tackle and they're excellent eating too. To target them, drop baits right on the structure. Squid strips, clams, or cut fish all work well. Jigs tipped with soft plastics are deadly too. Use a sensitive rod to detect light bites. Sea bass have small mouths, so 2/0 to 4/0 circle hooks are perfect. Pro tip: when you find one, there's usually more - they like to school up.
Spanish Mackerel
Spanish mackerel are speedy little fish, usually 1-2 feet long and weighing 2-4 pounds. You'll often spot them in big schools near the surface, chasing bait. They like warm, shallow waters close to shore - look around piers, jetties, and beaches. Spring and fall are prime times as they migrate. These guys are a blast to catch on light tackle. They hit hard and make blistering runs. Anglers love 'em for their tasty meat too - great on the grill. To target Spanish macks, use small shiny lures like spoons or jigs. Cast into the schools and retrieve fast. A medium 7-foot rod with 12-20 pound line works well. Live bait like shrimp or small fish is deadly too. Pro tip: look for diving birds to find the schools.
Thresher Shark
These ocean predators are a sight to behold, with tails as long as their bodies. Threshers usually hang out 40-50 miles offshore in depths up to 2100 feet. They're fast swimmers, hitting speeds of 30 mph, and can leap clear out of the water. Most average around 16 feet long and 500 pounds, but the big ones push 20 feet and 1100 pounds. Threshers use that long tail like a whip to stun prey. They're a prized catch for anglers due to their size and fighting ability. Best time to target them here is late spring through fall. When trolling for threshers, set your lure 25-50 feet deep and look for bait balls. Use a heavy rod with 50-80 pound braid. Their teeth are surprisingly small, so go with strong 8/0 hooks and a long leader to prevent break-offs.
