When is the best time to go fishing?

Mar 4, 2026 | fishing Myrtle Beach

Fish in rivers, ponds, and lakes may feel sluggish because of warmer weather. The same thing can happen during winter when the water temperature drops. Why? All fish are considered cold-blooded, which means they cannot keep their body temperature at a constant level. The surrounding temperature affects their body temperature as well as their bodily functions. So when is the best time to go fishing in Myrtle Beach SC?

Extremely low and high water temperatures lower the amount of oxygen in the water, which makes fish less active and less selective about when and what they eat. If you are looking for the best Myrtle Beach fishing times, it is best to avoid extreme temperatures.

For a more accurate water analysis to determine when fish will bite, fish finders and water temperature gauges can provide real-time feedback on water temperature.

Other factors such as bright sunlight can also affect fish activity, which is why it is important to pay attention to the time of day when planning a fishing trip. This can make a huge difference in your success. Fish tend to feed actively during early morning and evening hours, and sometimes even during the brighter midday periods. However, during the hottest part of midday the surface water temperature becomes warmer, which can cause fish to move deeper. Because of this, some anglers also enjoy night fishing.

Fishing Calendar

Changing weather conditions can also play a major role in determining the best times to go on a charter fishing trip. Wind can push water and surface food toward the shoreline, attracting fish to those areas. Storms can also influence fishing success, often increasing feeding activity before a cold front arrives but slowing things down during and after the storm. A warm front is an exception because it can increase surface water temperatures and trigger feeding activity among several fish species.

Another great opportunity to go fishing is on cloudy days. Overcast skies often cause fish to roam more actively in search of food compared to bright sunny days. Light rain can also create excellent fishing conditions because it washes bait and insects into the water, creating a feeding opportunity for fish.

If you want more accurate targeting for the best fishing times, consider using a fishing calendar or contact providers like Voyager Deep Sea Fishing & Dolphin Cruises. These tools use data from specific locations, including weather patterns, tides, and moon phases, combined with fish feeding behaviour to determine ideal fishing times.

Many fishing calendar apps are available, and they can help you predict when fish activity will be highest so you can plan your fishing trip in advance or discover new fishing spots.

Wonderful dolphin experience! Captain Jason and crew were amazing. We got to see shutterfly (dolphin) and had a wonderful boat ride on the Atlantic. Would go again and highly recommend.

We had an absolutely incredible experience out on the water. From the moment we stepped on the boat, the crew made us feel welcome, comfortable, and excited for the day ahead. Their energy was contagious—they were knowledgeable, patient, and clearly passionate about what they do. They went above and beyond to make sure everyone had a great time, whether it was helping us with gear or sharing tips. Highly recommend!

Didn't see dolphins. But, it was a beautiful day on the water. They make it easy to check in and genuinely offer help to everyone. A special day for my grandkids and I.

My husband and I came up for New Year's and booked a fishing trip with this company and was extremely pleased with the trip. The crew was helpful, knowledgeable, approachable, and just a fun good time, Brian 1 and 2 ?. The fact that the captain stopped at dolphin siting for us to take pictures and th crew would wait to allow you to take pictures of your catch was nice. I thought we were just going to go out and fish one spot but we made 3 separate spots to fish which was great!! Tips I would give anyone booking this trip is dress for the weather, bring cash and snacks, and please tip your tour guides they work extremely hard and deserve it! My family will be back in April and will definitely be booking again!!!
