WHEN IS THE BEST TIME FOR A DEEP SEA FISHING TRIP IN MYRTLE BEACH

deep sea fishing

Going on a deep sea fishing trip will give you a memorable experience. Going out on the waves and being able to catch a few of the most assertive fighting fish Myrtle Beach waters has to offer while having fun at the lavishness of a well-appointed fishing charter is going to be a memory that is bound to last for a lifetime.

If you are planning your deep sea fishing trip, you have to ask yourself a few important questions for you to find out when is the best time of the year to go to such a fishing trip in Myrtle Beach. What types of fish are you hoping to catch, and what kind of fishing do you like, trolling or perhaps bottom fishing?

When To Go Deep Sea Fishing?

Early Spring

Bluefin is the primary word during the spring. The biggest among the tuna species, bluefins are huge and typically range between 300 and 500 pounds. However, specimens have landed as much as 1000 pounds. Bluefin gives an excellent fight and is among the tastiest grill fish you will catch from the decks of Voyager Deep Sea Fishing & Dolphin Cruises. Bluefin tuna is one of the earliest fish to start striking during late winter and early spring months, and are among the few that could be fished successfully during winter. Your fishing trip will surely be exciting with them around.

Spring Into Summer

Spring, summer, as well as fall,  are the perfect time of the year to go on a Myrtle Beach deep sea fishing trip. Blue Marlin will start showing up during May and continue to go strong until September. Yellowfin tuna adheres to a similar pattern, slightly slow down during July and August, but still provides a fight for the most part of spring and summer. Dolphin, or Mahi Mahi, joined by Spanish mackerel, will begin to arrive during late Spring. Spring provides mild weather with lower temperatures compared to the later part of the season, but with calmer seas and fewer storms.

Summer

The bounty will continue once the weather heats up. White and blue marlin will come as yellowfin tuna gets a break during July and August. The Bluefin tuna will disappear during the hottest months, making Mahi Mahi, Spanish Mackerel, as well as other tuna species more visible.

Winter

Once fall winds down, fishing does as well. Winter is usually a touch and go, with storms coming and cold temperatures making the fishing trip a lot less enjoyable. However, for the true die-hard, there are still opportunities to get the big Bluefin tuna that adore the colder seasons. Regardless of when you plan your deep sea fishing trip, Myrtle Beach will also be the best destination.
