Also does anyone have any tips.

BillM Posted May 29, 2013 Report Share Posted May 29, 2013 As long as you have a state license you should be fine.. A jig with half a shrimp on it will catch you all kinds of stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Freshtrax Posted May 29, 2013 Report Share Posted May 29, 2013 Your going to want a heavy weight rod. Pick up a heavy ugly stick or something similar in a 2 pc. I lived in Wilmington nc. For a while you never know what your going to catch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BillM Posted May 30, 2013 Report Share Posted May 30, 2013 you never know what you'll get out there...we got a small hammerhead once! Probably a bonnethead shark. Same family, we catch them down in Florida all the time. Awesome looking shark! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anything in salt water fights harder then pretty much anything in freshwater. Even those little 16in Whitings fight like crazy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
canadabacon Posted June 6, 2013 Report Share Posted June 6, 2013 Just came across the post... today is June 6th so hopefully you will read it. I go to North Myrtle Beach every year. Saltwater licence is $11 for 14 days that can be purchased at Basspro in North Myrtle Beach. Saltwater fishing allows for 2 rods. You can fish from the beach with the $11 licence or you can fish from piers (Apache pier is in North Myrtle beach and the longest one). Pier admission price ($8/day) includes licence. In terms of fishing rods, for $20-30 you can get a 2 piece 14 ft surf rod from Bass Pro. I mostly catch sharks on the beach in front of the hotel and from the pier. Scared the crap out of people when I pulled out a 4-5 foot shark in front of the hotel. Some people don't know there are sharks there... go figure Have a good trip!
