Fishing on the Pier

What is that great saying: '.....gone fishing..."  

Lowcountry fishing - well it takes time to learn it and how to read the tides and the local  waters. If you are inexperienced, it is easy to be stranded on a mudflat and you only get free when the tide comes back in.
We are certainly blessed with an abundance of water and this means many places to enjoy fishing and shrimping. The fishing is good in rivers and in the tidal creeks off the Charleston Harbor, the Charleston jetties, and creeks in the Cape Romain National Wildlife Refuge, and the catch can consist of red drum, black drum, sea trout, flounder, and sharks.

Every fisherman has their favorite season or part of the year and fishing is especially popular in October and November when the weather begins to cool, and it seems easier to entice a fish to take the bait. Quite possible, fishermen might just throw out a cast net to catch shrimp or they lower bait cages into the salty water to catch crabs. 

Here is a list of some area fishing piers where one can go fishing without getting their feet wet. Just bring a chair, your gear, some snacks and enjoy. (Pls know that you do need a fishing license in SC - easy to get online. Pls check for your area or ask for Info in your local tackle store.)
