In addition to being a beautiful, historic city, Georgetown offers unprecedented fishing and wildlife opportunities. Flowing through a network of estuaries, the slow moving waters of the Black, Big Pee Dee, Little Pee Dee, Sampit and Waccamaw rivers converge along the coast of Georgetown County to form Winyah Bay, the third largest estuarine drainage area on the Eastern Seaboard. Encompassing 525,000 acres, the Winyah Bay area contains the state's largest tidal freshwater wetlands and supports a remarkable number of species, including endangered animals such as bald eagles, short-nosed sturgeon, loggerhead sea turtles, peregrine falcons, and wood storks.
Inshore and offshore fishing opportunities exist here year round. At Harbor Club, you’ll enjoy ready access to Gulf Stream water as well an natural fish attracting wonders like the Georgetown Hole – a steep canyon that drops to over 600 in less than 1/4 mile and attracts a wide range of gamefish, including Yellowfin and Blackfin Tuna, Wahoo, Dolphin, Sailfish and Marlin.
Just inshore you’ll find a prevalence of ledges, rolls, wrecks and live bottom areas perfect for landing Grouper, Red Snapper, Amberjack, or even Spanish Mackerel. And if you’re looking for thrilling aerial battles, the late summer and early fall provide exciting Tarpon action.
