IOP 5/24

In the surf and it was a little slow today. Had a few good bites but only kept one on and it turned out to be a good sized Black Drum.

Bad news is I fell victim to a parking citation. I did not realize that the new parking rules were so widespread throughout the island and every single street… Kind of peeved. What made it worse was that when I was looking for the stupid sign, i found it at the end of the street blocked by a bunch of tree limbs. Very hard to see. Why wouldn’t they put it on the opposite corner so it’s clearly visible to people turning in. How in the world are charleston families supposed to go to the beach without having to walk blocks? I mean the resident permit is just for IOP residents correct? ok… I guess this is a dumb rant and im done haha. apologies

soooo next question, is there a kind soul who owns a house or knows someone that would allow me to park between 42 and 58th? It would only be one car just for fishing. I would never bring multiple cars and no more than just my family. We are responsible and very respectful of property.

That stinks sorry to hear about that Papa. At least you caught a nice fish. How do you like that surf spike? I bought one of those, but felt like the hole you put the rod in needed to be a little deeper. How are the wee ones doing:smiley:

I would agree about the depth of the holder. Won’t be the main one I use when the red season comes in to play. I bought it on a whim due to forgetting a spike one time.

The ticket is what it is. I need to pay more attention I guess haha. The girls are fantastic. They and mom just got back from a trip near vero beach Florida with her aunt while I was at a conference for work they had a blast.

@papajohick I am with you I got a ticket too last sunday I am on 44th its really difficult to park from the street along Palm Blvd from 42nd and 58th I notice that there’s no parking sign there although looking at this https://www.google.com/maps/d/viewer?mid=1dibTSQNS5X_TUi7_p6smmjP6mGY from iop.net they said that you can park along that street http://www.iop.net/beach-access-parking

I guess this adds up to our hurdles before we can go surf fishin in IOP

Not sure why that got posted again haha. I finally went to the website and saw where they say we can park. It’s just going to be longer walk so guess until I can find a friend who lives there haha.

If you take a picture of the sign you can probably get out of the ticket if is hidden or hard to see.

Nice Black Drum papa!..I see the secret weapon. [:0]
