Hey Guys, I am new to this site and fishing. I am getting into surf fishing now too. I met this guy at work who turned me on to it. So I am headed down to Hilton Head SC I am woundering what will I be lookin to catch and what type of rigs and lure will I need?

Hm. Never herd of it. Is this some ocean thing?

Yea it is like a resort area but I was hoping hit or find some Lakes or ponds down there. I guess I fish in the ocean then

I ocean fish a lot. You can use shrimp, octopus, bloodworms, or squid for bait. You bottom fish with heavy weights just like catfishing. Although I've never surf fished, I've fished piers and also up to 32 miles out.

you can use the baits daviscw  mentioned and also some fish fillet which works wonders on big predators, hooks 2/0 and above main shock leader line 70lb and hook line 30lb.. Lead should be 100-150 grams for long distance casts.. below are the most famous rigs

Hey thanx guy's. Any news of what being caught now

I do know that October and November are the best times to fish. However, people always catch flounder, skates, sharks, etc... I'm not 100% sure, but I think blues and spots only come certain times. I'm no expert though. We always call our hotel before we go. They'll be happy to tell you.

ok I'll call them thanx
