The theme for this year's Flounder Festival, to be held along the Marshwalk, is "Get Hooked on Rotary." Attendees and anglers will get a glimpse of how the Murrells Inlet Rotary uses the club motto "Service Above Self" to benefit the Murrells Inlet citizens and community alike.
Registration will be held from 4-7 p.m. on Friday, June 5, at the Crazy Sister Marina.
The Murrells Inlet Rotary Flounder Tournament raises funds to benefit Murrells Inlet Rotary Club charitable projects. This year, the Murrells Inlet Rotary is also teaming with Murrells Inlet 2020 to present the Inaugural Murrells Inlet Fish Drop, which will be held at the Marina at 1 p.m. Approximately 500 wooden fish will be hoisted in the air, then dropped on the ground on top of a bull's eye. The three fish closest to the bull's eye win cash prizes totaling $1,750.00. The Tournament awards ceremony will follow at 4:30 p.m.
To register for the Flounder Tournament, purchase a fish for the Fish Drop or for more information, please contact co-chairs Lee Fredrick at 843-458-6907 or Lee.Fredrick@ConcreteSupply.com; or Chris Garner at 843-357-9355 or Garnerc250@hotmail.com.

Fishing Reports
Myrtle Beach/Murrells Inlet area Fishing Report
Fishing the Murrells Inlet/Myrtle Beach area is seasonal with the fishing a little slow for March til the middle of April.
Mid April, the fishing starts to pick-up for some Flounder and Red Drum. Everything[Fishing] is always weather related in Murrells Inlet and Myrtle Beach the sooner the water temp. gets in the 60’s the fishing will get better.
Late April thru December is always a good time for fishing for Red Drum, the bait moves in and the fishing turns on.
June, July and August, the water temp is getting rite for ALL fishing in the Murrells Inlet/Myrtle Beach areas! Everthing is good at the beach!
People are out in the sun,shopping,fishing and the Murrells Inlet/Myrtle Beach area is hopping!
August and September the Spanish and King Mackerel are on the beach and can be caught live baiting along the coast.
We often catch them at the jetties or 3-mile reef or trolling with planners and spoons.
Fishing at Murrells Inlet/Myrtle Beach during the summer months you never know what you are going to hook-up with so expect to catch a anything while fishing,maybe even a SHARK.
For all you that like catching Trout, Weakfish Trout are plentiful sometimes around Sept/ Oct.
While the true Winter Trout only starts when the water temps start dropping in to the 60’s and lower.
As I have said early, fishing in Murrells Inlet/Myrtle Beach is always revolving. Don’t let yourself be told that the fish are bitting ALL THE TIME .
Remember,if it sounds too good to be true, it most likely is not! I [Capt. Shannon Currie] has been fishing the coast of Murrells Inlet/Myrtle Beach for over 20 years!
Good luck and great fishing to all….......
