Reel in the Big One
With This Ultimate Guide to Fishing in South Carolina
A bad day spent fishing beats, well, pretty much anything! In South Carolina, our position along the coast offers anglers saltwater and freshwater fishing opportunities with many varieties to reel in. Prepare for your next fishing trip with these tips for local adventures. Get your fishing license. Like many states, South Carolina requires a fishing license for anglers over the age of 16. A valid driver’s license or identification is required to purchase a license, and those purchasing licenses for the first time will need their Social Security number. Cheaper resident fishing licenses are available with proper identification. South Carolina’s Department of Natural Resources (DNR) is required by law to use the funds obtained from fishing and hunting licenses for conservation efforts. So, every year you purchase a fishing license, you help protect our landscape and preserve it for future generations! Little did you know fishing was so good for our future.
Have the right bait and gear . In South Carolina, we’re lucky to have many options for anglers, but this also means fishers need to have the proper gear and bait if they expect a great fishing story out of the trip. For example, if you’re fishing in one of South Carolina’s many freshwater tributaries for sunfish or bass, you will need to use insects as bait. A standard pole will suffice for these catches, but have a net available for when you reel in the big one! For those who prefer ocean fish, like sea trout or the kingfish, your bait is going to be much larger, like shrimp, and so will the materials you use to bring the fish on board. Find an expert. The best advice is to seek the help of a local fishing guide. No matter how experienced you are, a fishing guide can maneuver you to the best spot for the type of fish you are searching for and can offer insider knowledge on how to properly bait, cast, and reel in the kind of fish you want.
