Heading up from Columbia to try a new spot and fish Demetre Park tomorrow. Usually fish the IOP/Sullivan area so I don’t know of any bait locations nearby. Is there a spot near the park that I can buy some fresh shrimp? Also if anyone has any suggestions on where to fish out there. I’m planning on setting up on the beach beneath the rocks. Seems like that would be the area that produces the most fish. Thanks for the help guys.
You’ll pass haddrells point on Folly Road on the way to Demetre
Yep, Haddrells is in South Windemere behind the Earth Fare on Folly Road. If its low tide out there, should be able to cast net for some. Any seafood store you pass on the way as well.
I had no idea Haddrells sold shrimp. I guess I never thought to ask. That makes things easy then. Thanks!

Sellsfish in Summerville, but thats prob out of your way a bit.
On your way in, on I26, take exit 205A towards Ladson. Ladson Seafood is down on the left. I get 99% of my shrimp and crab there. Really nice folks. If you’re looking for live shrimp?..Not sure.
“There’s a fine line between fishing and standing in the surf like an idiot.”
The reports I have seen say the beach in front of the rocks is the place to fish, there is also a large beach off to the right as you enter the park that others say is good. I have fished the large pier only once and caught some whiting, but was only out there an hour. Most people seem to fish the pier, but its a large pier with lots of room for people.
Well… didn’t really need the bait yesterday. Fished the falling tide and got the goose egg. Used shrimp and finger mullet. Saw about 10 other people fishing throughout the day and nobody pulled anything in. So ready for fall.

I think I spoke to you as you were leaving the beach area on Saturday. We also caught nothing.
Yep that was me. Sorry to hear your luck wasn’t better than ours. I can’t remember the last time I hit the surf and didn’t pull in a single fish.
