Hello and thank you for the interesting forum. I have the good fortune to be visiting Isle of Palms next week and I hope to surf fish. I am a novice with some experience and basic surf gear. Any tips or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
Lpeck,
Shrimp, small hooks and about a 4 ounce pyramid sinker are what you’ll need for your rig. You can buy premade ones or make your own. Stay away from the wire ones. Any spinning rod will usually work just fine. Fish troughs or ditches that you find in front of or next to sandbars. Also fish just behind the breakers. The fish are much closer than you would think.
