Murrells Inlet boat and kayak launch points

[@waynes3244]

what about stanley drive landing? is it big enough for a 14’ high tide?

[@DeadCalmOutdoors]

I didn’t include that spot because it around homes and it very small and tide dependent.

[@andreanngeise3738]

Just wanted to compliment you on this video. Great information and very well explained. I appreciate the work you put into making this

[@DeadCalmOutdoors]

I appreciate that. 🤙

[@alexstamateris5977]

Thanks! It looks like #1 is for me. I have a 17 scout Costa. I’m going to do a 2 day trip sometime this summer. I come from Beaufort, no sense in doing all that driving in one day. 3 hours up, fish and head home the next day after some flounder action. Thanks! alex

[@DeadCalmOutdoors]

Glad that helped you

[@charlesbroach]

I just got my bucket list boat 162 sport fish I almost feel sorry for FISH

[@miacarlino9962]

Thank you, this video is so helpful, and appreciated.:)

[@DeadCalmOutdoors]

Your welcome. Thank you for watching and commenting.

[@kriskirkpatrick899]

I sat for a couple of hours in the mud at morse. Lesson learned.

[@DeadCalmOutdoors]

That sucks. We have all been there in capacity or another

[@andreanngeise3738]

I got lucky because I pulled up during low tide to put in my Kayak. That let me know what I would have been in for.

[@pieseasmyseas]

I'm going in the morning hope to see you there.

[@DeadCalmOutdoors]

I just got back and caught 1 flounder. Enjoy the day. Unfortunately I have to work tomorrow 👍

[@pieseasmyseas]

@@DeadCalmOutdoors don't fell bad the 2 of us on my boat didn't get nothing total skunk day. The water is still cold and very high from all this rain.

Another great launch site. . . Graham's landing is a small craft access point into Allston Creek, located behind Graham's Landing Restaurant in Murrells Inlet, S.C. Your embark/debark times are subject to the mercy of Mother Nature and it's recomended you end your day a couple hours before low tide as the creek dries out at that point. Although you cannot park on site after you "put-in", the restaurant allows parking for Yak-Abouts/Anglers in their overflow parking (right turn out of the restaurant) located a short walk down and across the street - left of C-Scapes Nursery.

[@andreanngeise3738]

is that parking near the brewery?

[@freedomwanderer]

Thats great info. I live here in Myrtle Beach and have been considering getting a kayak and playing around in the inlet.

[@DeadCalmOutdoors]

Fantastic I’m glad it helped 🤙

[@Endeavorfishing]

Hey thank you just moved to SC much appreciated, in New England MA most dont give out this type of info "SPOT BURN" such nonsense0

[@DeadCalmOutdoors]

Thanks. I appreciate that. I don’t give out spot to fish. I try to teach people to fish. 🤙👊🏻

[@briancottom4808]

Thanks again for the great information Chris.

[@DeadCalmOutdoors]

Thank you for being out there and watching. 🤙

[@evcoolgene]

Thanks, so informative! I have a question - I have boated only in clear waters in Bahamas, and there you can tell how deep the water is by the color of the water. How can you tell how deep the water is in this area? I have a small boat I’d like to take here, but how can I tell if an area is deep enough to boat in?

[@DeadCalmOutdoors]

I’m not going to lie it takes time to learn the shallow areas and oyster bars. It if you have a depth finder and follow the channels you should be ok. It will be trial and error but sounds like you have a lot of boating experience so you should do just fine

[@dustincollins16]

I kayak fished Murrells Inlet several years ago. Launched from the public ramp and it was extremely busy. Loved it though

[@DeadCalmOutdoors]

👊🏻👍

[@leegandysdroid]

This is so helpful! Thank you. When you put in at the Oyster landing, can you kayak the creek going towards the state park or is that too shallow or short to worry with?

[@DeadCalmOutdoors]

Yes there is plenty of water in the creek to get to the state park. At high tide you can cut across the flat and save yourself some time and distance. 👊🏻

[@tomstanley9609]

putting in at oyster landing would you head north or south in a kayak to fish?

[@DeadCalmOutdoors]

Both ways are good areas to fish 👍

[@lilaidan03]

Very accurate info! Thanks for sharing.

[@DeadCalmOutdoors]

Thank you Jake 👍

[@dextercochran9312]

Thanks for sharing these as I've seen these ramps on Google Maps and was curious. I've only put in at the Oyster Recycling launch previously. I'm bringing a group of guys from work toward the end of April. None of us have much experience except using live bait in the surf I've been watching your videos to try and learn as much as I can. Maybe we'll run into you while we're down there and of course I always look forward to seeing your new videos!

[@DeadCalmOutdoors]

I really appreciate that. Thank you. 🤙👊🏻

[@pieseasmyseas]

I'll be down there on the 20th as long as my luck and weather hold out. Hope to see you.

[@DeadCalmOutdoors]

Nice. 👍

[@ChrisDavis333]

Oyster recycling is more of your local spot, there’s a couple spots just like it that are just unassuming little single lane roads that lead to small beach launches that would be perfect for launching a kayak.

[@andreanngeise3738]

I have looked for little spots like that but have not found any yet. Would love a place that I could put a kayak in, in Garden city

[@ChrisDavis333]

Does your kayak have wheels or are you able to move/cary it over dry land for like 50-100yards? There’s a few spots that come to my mind in garden city/Murrells inlet. I’ll give you the names of them and you can go check them out, see which one would work the best for you, keep in mind the tide will have to be accounted for, low tide availability is going to be almost nonexistent throughout basically the entire area. So plan accordingly. The 2 more regular “boat launches” that I would recommend are the Oyster Recycling plant which is a fairly well known launch, the address is Oyster Landing Dr Murrells Inlet, SC 29576 United States . The next “boat launch” is 4139 US-17 BUS, Murrells Inlet, SC 29576 which is where all the marinas are down on restaurant row, next to crazy sister/tailfinz/Belin Methodist church. Those 2 are going to be probably your best bet, the easiest, you’re not going to have any issues. Outside of those 2, there’s a spot located at 3173 First Ave S Murrells Inlet, SC 29576 United States from what I remember, it’s an empty sand lot and you should be able to launch a kayak from there, I haven’t been there in a couple years but on my map it looks the same. There’s also a landing at Sanford D Cox Sr. Community Park(go straight at the end of the GC connector) it turns into Pine Ave after the light, drive all the way to the end, there’s a park there with a long dock, at the end of it there’s stairs that go into the water perfect for launching a kayak. The only issue is maybe you get some annoying old person that doesn’t like that you’re doing that and tries to tell you not to or something, aside from that it’s just a little bit of a treck down the landing with all your gear. Next, I would consider the walkway right before GC Pier on Atlantic Ave that goes over the water, shouldn’t have any issue entering at high tide. There’s another launch in Mt. Gilead but I can’t remember where it’s at exactly though, and there’s another one down by beaver bar, but I can’t remember exactly where that one is either. The ones that I did give the locations to, I could pin down exactly on my map. The actual launches are going to be the easiest for you probably.

[@robolson7224]

Launch #4 , i know some launch kayaks at the end of stanley road on the north end

[@DeadCalmOutdoors]

I didn't include that area due to the small landing area and it being in a residential neighborhood. 👊

[@jreyes998]

It’s a good place to get stuck in the mud too 😂

[@andreanngeise3738]

I did not know how high water comes there and if it would be okay to park. I originally thought it was a personal property because I did not see any signs

[@antonymiller1017]

Family and I will be camping at Myrtle Beach State campground in June. What lures should I be sure to have when fishing Murrell's inlet jetty? Thank you for your great videos.

[@DeadCalmOutdoors]

Thanks I appreciate you watching. So paddlerails will work great ZMAN or bass Assassin are my go to. The important thing is the weight of the jig head. The current can be very swift. So a heavy current use a heavy weight. Bring every thing from a 3/16 oz to a 1/2 oz. The bait has to be in the fishes face. Hope this helps. 👊🏻👍

[@lifeisprecious459]

How's the weather doing down there for the fishing for this week? does it look promising?

[@DeadCalmOutdoors]

Looks good for this week. Warming up. Should start to increase the water temp and turn the bite on! 👊🏻

[@lifeisprecious459]

@Dead Calm Outdoors I'll be there this weekend. no boat but any good places to go near or on the inlet where I Can catch bait

[@DeadCalmOutdoors]

Morse Landing is a good spot

[@laceyluckhaupt8302]

What would you say is the best launch site to get over to “Shell Island” (North Island) by Huntington State Park? And during what tide would be an easiest paddle-high tide?

[@DeadCalmOutdoors]

The oyster recycling center would be the best launch. The perfect tide would be the last few hours of the out going tide and the first few hours of the incoming tide that way the tide is helping you get there and come back you will not be fighting the current.

[@andreanngeise3738]

Have you ever been locked into Oyster Landing? My big worry is that something should happen like hitting the tide wrong and I am late and then get locked in. I wouldn't know what to do and would hate to be stuck over night

[@DeadCalmOutdoors]

No I’ve never been locked in. If that would happen you should be able to drive down the walking path. Go left and out to 17.

[@andreanngeise3738]

@@DeadCalmOutdoors Thanks. I did get locked in at Huntington State park once when I walked out to the Jetties. Thankfully someone left me out

[@joerella534]

Great video's.... Greetings from NJ. Visit MI several times a year. Mostly I use a charter out of Cricket Cove Marina. But, I'm looking to start kayak fishing and your vids are a big help. Have you ever launched from the Macca Wache Marina? or is it private? How's fishing in the Waccamaw River?

[@DeadCalmOutdoors]

Thank you. I really appreciate that. Wacca Wache is a public landing. Matter of fact there is a good restaurant at the marina. Fishing is pretty good. All the freshwater species and the closer you get to winyah bay you get into saltwater fishing.

[@joerella534]

@@DeadCalmOutdoors Did not know that was fresh water there... Thanks

[@DeadCalmOutdoors]

[@charlesbroach]

I know of 2 other places to launch in mi

[@mattmatthews9517]

You missed a landing. There is one on the north end near my father in law’s house. But the water empties out of there at low tide

[@DeadCalmOutdoors]

Thanks Matt. I intentionally left it out due to the very small area and it’s next to residential houses. 👍

[@andreanngeise3738]

is this Stanley landing and is it marked. I tried to find it recently and found a spot but was not sure if it was it and was also worried so did not drop there. I am just putting in a small kayak
