Saltwater Pier Fishing Clinic

Our Fishing Clinics are introductory classes to saltwater fishing. The pier fishing clinics will teach you skills on how to tie fishing knots, how to rig a rod and reel, casting, and the best part is everyone will get to try their hand at pier fishing. Kids from ages 6 to adults are welcome, so come out and play, enjoy the outdoors, and make this a Fishing Fun Day! You must RSVP to attend.

*You must pay the park entrance fee for this class*

Details for the event:

• What to bring: Dress is casual. Check the weather report and dress appropriately as you will be outside. Other items to consider bringing include a hat, sunglasses, bug spray and reusable water bottle. All fishing supplies will be provided for the duration of the clinic. This is a catch-and-release clinic, only.

• Fishing License: If you are planning on fishing during the clinic and you are 16 years or older, you must have a valid SC saltwater fishing license. You can either purchase one online here or you can purchase one at our SCDNR Titling Offices. You can also buy a license at Walmart, sporting goods stores, or tackle shops.
