Saltwater Pier Fishing Clinic

Our Saltwater 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.

* A wristband will be given to participants for free fishing during and after the clinic*

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.

• 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.

• Costs: The clinic is free of charge, however, you might have to pay for parking.

• Weather: Clinics are held rain or shine unless hazardous weather occurs. We also consult with the pier manager if the conditions are too windy as this clinic is outside.

• Parking: There is free parking available. There is a parking garage across from the hotel and pier on the right, as you're driving towards the hotel. You cannot park in the construction zone near the pier. I repeat, YOU CANNOT PARK in the spaces where construction is going on. It is a short walk to the pier.

Remember, you are never too old to start your saltwater fishing journey!
