Summer Patterns *BIG* Flounder in the creeks of Murrells Inlet, SC

I kicked off this day around high tide and planned on fishing for about 4 hours of the outgoing tide. The bite was slow until I stopped at a creek mouth and casted a Jelley Baits Assassin Paddle tail and picked up a small flounder. I just happened to notice the time, and the tide had started to fall and thus the current was moving. I worked my way around the Murrells Inlet creeks and came upon another creek mouth with ample current. I caught my second and third flounder on a Zman 3” shrimp with Procure. As I moved up the creek a surprise Croaker decided to play. He was about 13” and my Personal Best croaker. On the next cast, flounder number four hit. A nice 17” fat flounder. He was safely released as I continued to peddle on up the creek. I spotted a small drain and decided to make a cast. I felt a small Thump and my fifth Flounder of the day was on the end of the line. How can you complain about a day like that.

NICE! Once again……….Good thing you placed that rod in the holder when that flounder made it back in. Love it!

[@DeadCalmOutdoors]

Yea …good times 👍

[@travisthayer7159]

High tide bite is rough but solid day! Well done and thanks for sharing

[@DeadCalmOutdoors]

Thank you. High tide is not my favorite time to fish. 👊🏻🤙

[@RdeckerStynkBait.]

Nice morning, nice fish.

[@DeadCalmOutdoors]

Thanks I appreciate that

[@earthsciteach]

Another solid video! Man, I love Murrell's Inlet. I wish I could fish it more than once a year. Your videos make me feel like I'm there, though.

[@DeadCalmOutdoors]

That’s nice. 🤙 thank you

[@heathwatford1737]

Heck yes brother loving the flounder bite we got going right now

[@DeadCalmOutdoors]

Yep. Hope it hold for the summer

[@marjorieallen1250]

good videobruce

[@MrBmxrider1830]

Where you out yesterday? I thought I seen you pulling out while I was out. I did great. Several flounder two keeper. 16.5 & 18.5 on green paddle tails

[@DeadCalmOutdoors]

Yea I was out there. Lost one caught one. Not a great day for me. Glad someone was feeling it 🤙

[@pieseasmyseas]

Damn he broke out a thermacell...

[@DeadCalmOutdoors]

No bug spray for me. 👊🏻

[@pieseasmyseas]

@DeadCalmOutdoors I don't like it either but to know the mosquitoes are bad enough on the water for that to be more important to remember than the net worries me lol

[@alexstamateris5977]

Are the bugs bad up there? When it gets like that I fish with light long sleeves, and I’m not afraid to say a net over my head. I’ve had the bugs in my ears, nose, eyes to the point you could just die! Now I have two nets in my boat, one for me and one for the guy who may be with me. Makes it tolerable. I’m going to make a two day trip come September. Thanks! 👍

[@DeadCalmOutdoors]

No breeze = horrible bugs. I don’t take a chance. I just turn in the thermacell and no worries

[@alexstamateris5977]

Question, You’re moving into the current with the yak, casting and bringing it back with the current? Thanks…..

[@DeadCalmOutdoors]

Yes I prefer to cast up current and bring it back. It’s a more natural look

[@kylestrickland585]

Hoping to be in Murrells Inlet tuesday morning.... how has the bite on the incoming tide been?

[@DeadCalmOutdoors]

It’s been good. Find moving water and deeper holes. 🤙

[@rodbentfishing]

When did you get the new kayak dude?

[@DeadCalmOutdoors]

It was delivered in May and I’ve been using it for about a month and loving it. Where has this peddle drive been my whole life

[@rodbentfishing]

@@DeadCalmOutdoors You should do a run down after you've used it a good many times. I keep looking for one for my first, but i think i'll stick with a paddle one for starters. Keep the cost down for my first one.

[@DeadCalmOutdoors]

@rodbentfishing I want to wait for 6 month. That way I can give a non biased opinion of the Kayak. I’m going to let the newness wear off 🤙

[@fishylol1695]

Any alligators in that area?

[@DeadCalmOutdoors]

I’ve never seen an alligator in Murrells Inlet.

[@ryanchassereau8365]

we smoked the Flounder last week 38 in 4 mornings 23 keepers

[@DeadCalmOutdoors]

Wow great few days

[@jonathancarter3999]
