Hit the surf today for a few hours and caught some whiting, stingrays, sharks, and some nice keeper trout. Got to go out and have some fun with some shrimp on Memorial Day!
Sounds like a good time. The Fam and I are headed down in a few weeks. I was wondering if the beach refurbishment had negatively affected the surf fishing. I’ve had luck around the point but haven’t been back to the island in more than a year now. Where did you have the best luck this weekend?

We were at the public beach access 7 during an outgoing tide with a 3 oz weight. The fishing was fine anywhere around where we were. Just throw out and wait. That was the only spot we tried though. Let me know how y’all do!
Thank you for the report. I caught a few nice trout there last summer which was more than I have caught in the previous 10 years. Surprising the trout were all caught when I chucked it out to the last sandbar. I typically just fish the groins and breakers and never catch any trout. Any strategy with the trout that you caught?
Not really anything different, just throw out past the sandbar during low tide and let it sit until something hit. Didn’t specifically target trout but they were hitting.
