me and my family have rented a beach house the last week of september out in carova beach. I'm new(ish) to surf fishing. We used to go to Myrtle beach every fall and I'd do some fishing with little luck. I caught a couple flounder one year and my brother caught a shark once but usually its a whole lot of nothing. we finally decided we are done with Myrtle since a kevlar vest is looking more and more like a requirement down there. Now that we are going somewhere that has from what I hear, has pretty decent fishing, I'd like to go prepared. so I've got some questions. Thanks in advanced for the answers.
-what will I be fishing for that time of year and what setup is best? Ive got plenty of 2 hook bottom rigs in the tackle box thats all I've ever used in the ocean.
-What bait works best? I've got a casting net I usually use for catching live bait
-Sound fishing any good? the house we are renting is pretty close to the Carova boat ramp, is there any good fishing in those canals? I read that there are bass in the sound, and bass fishing is something I'm pretty good at. we wont be taking any boats or anything so what is fishable from the sound side of the island. looking at good maps I can really tell what the ground is like besides right there at the canals. Can you walk to the water's edge and fish?
-What fish are worth eating? I wouldn't mind providing a meal for dinner one night if me and my brothers can catch enough to feed our families.
-surf fishing with lures? Ive seen videos of people having decent luck with gold spoons, I am planning on taking my bass pole/tackle box as well to try some plugs and crap like that.
thats all the questions I can think of off the top of my head, we are just a few mountain boys looking to catch some fish. I'm looking forward to just getting away from the hustle and bustle so not catching anything is better than being at work though. Any other things I might have missed feel free to give any input.
thanks guys
