Nice to see another Murrells Inlet angler on the boards.
When it comes to reds in Murrells Inlet, most of what you'll hear about being caught is around the rocks at the jetties. A very good spot is between the marker towers and the end point of the jetties. (either side) It's right around 25 feet deep there. The prefered rig is a simple carolina rig with a live mud minnow on the other end. Fish it on the bottom close to the rocks, and you may find yourself hooked up to a nice bull. I'm pretty sure the trout are not around here this time of year, atleast i've not heard of anything going on. I know a few flounder are caught every now and then, and the sheepshead can be caught along the rocks and/or paradise reef. This time of year is really "iffy" closer to shore. A buddy of mine runs a charter service out of Murrells Inlet and he starts running trips for Reds sometime in the month of March. So to answer your question, i'd definately say march is a better month.
Feel free to shoot me a PM or email me. My info is public. Maybe you guys can piggy back me to the reef sometime this season. I'll start fishing around the end of March to the begining of April. I'm looking for the water temp to get around 65 or so. I hope this helps you out!
