Best Deep Sea Fishing Fishing Spots in North Myrtle Beach
From legendary bays to productive reefs, here are the top deep sea fishing fishing spots your captain will target in the North Myrtle Beach area.
The 110 Wreck
The 110 Wreck is a sunken vessel lying in approximately 110 feet of water offshore of Little River, providing major fish-attracting structure in otherwise featureless bottom. Amberjack, grouper, barracuda, and large black sea bass hold on the wreck, while king mackerel and cobia circle above the superstructure. It is a staple waypoint for Little River and North Myrtle Beach charter captains.
The Steeples
The Steeples is a prominent deep-water bottom feature approximately 35 miles offshore, named for its sharp, spire-like ledge structure rising from the ocean floor. Vermilion snapper, triggerfish, gag grouper, and amberjack stack up along the vertical relief. The area also produces quality king mackerel and cobia when conditions push warm water over the structure.
The Gulf Stream (Long Bay)
The Gulf Stream's western edge swings closest to shore in the Long Bay region off North Myrtle Beach, sometimes passing within 45-50 miles of land. This proximity creates opportunities for yellowfin tuna, mahi-mahi, wahoo, and sailfish without the extreme runs required from ports farther north. Trolling the temperature break and weed lines is the primary tactic for targeting bluewater species.
The Jungle
The Jungle is a productive offshore bottom area roughly 30 miles out, named for the dense marine growth covering its hard-bottom ledges and rock piles. Grouper, red snapper, vermilion snapper, and triggerfish thrive in the structure, while amberjack and king mackerel patrol the water column above. Its reputation for holding big bottom fish makes it a go-to for full-day offshore bottom-fishing trips.
