Folly beach and folly pier

Has anyone had any luck with reds or sharks from folly at all?

Not sure…I read somewhere the Tarpon were bittin’ though…:smiley:

I’d rather take my chances on some big sharks and maybe… just maybe I’ll get lucky with a tarpon lol

Sharks have been thick in the surf on Folly, and I’m sure elsewhere as well. I use a 100lb 3’ shock leader when I rig for bigger fish and have had some crazy runs and bite offs. I intentionally avoid using wire because I’d rather get bitten off then deal with a 6’ shark I have no idea how to deal with when fishing alone, but I am sure they are the culprits. I have caught a bunch of 3’ to 4’ sharks as well.

Give a man a fish and feed him for a day. Don’t teach a man to fish… and feed yourself. He’s a grown man. And fishing’s not that hard.

If you wanna go with someone, Ill pull out the kayak and my big rod. I wanna go anyways, my friends just never wanna go and I feel the same way about big sharks. I just don’t want to deal with them when I am alone.

It floats and has rod holders. Fine by me.
