Murrells Inlet SC Fishing Report Easter 2025

[Blue_Runner]

Headed down Thursday - Sunday for a long weekend. Took the boat out Friday morning around high tide just before noon, the 6 of us fished about 4 hours around the jetties. Sheephead were biting pretty good. Caught around 15, but only 2 keepers. Also caught a 15" flounder that had to go back. Both of our daughter's BF's went. They are both greenhorns but got the hang of it pretty quick.

Daughter and 2 sheepshead. (She does not have green hair, just the lighting LOL)





Easter Sunrise service


Hope everyone had a great Easter Weekend!

Hey Blue, fishing with family & friends last weekend - Nothing better and you even caught some thing to eat - Well Done - Great picture of your daughter, all smiles and with that smile - I would bet she caught those two convicts - - Green hair, no one cares what color it is, it's hair and grows back - -

Thanks G, you are right she caught both of those and over half of all fish caught.....she's a better fisherman than me for sure!

Like G said, nothing better than fishing with family and enjoying the outcome. Looks like a great time for all.

One thing I notice all the time look at fishermen or fisherwomen’s face when fishing. They are always smiling. I love that. Did you ever see a fisher person holding up Fish and they look mad? Never. I bet those sheepshead’s are a good fighting fish too. I love it. We don’t get them in nj but I have seen them using barnacles to chum with and bait. Don’t tell anyone.

heading to Sneads Ferry this weekend, probably wont have time to fish, I'll be working on the house, may drop the 'Searona" in the water for a quick ride though.

Step, you don't get them in New Jersey, you sure, because we catch them in Jamaica Bay, right by Floyd Bennett field using crabs. That's where I've seen them caught, all around the pilings, I never caught one, never fished for them. On light tackle they look like fun to catch and are good eating, I am told. What I was surprised at was, we never caught one while black fishing the same area, strange, maybe they don't like green crabs? A friend of mine say's he uses Blue claws for bait, not sure if I would want to give up a nice Linguine and Blue claw dinner or baked Blue claws for convicts.
Again just my lousy 2 cents
