Saw a Bait ball of Menhaden....While on vacation in Myrtle Beach....After a quick paddle out and successfully throwin a 6 foot cast net...while sitting in a Yak...I slung out a live one and Bam.... hooked 4 of these little friskies and lost a Huge King...and all this while about a million people watched from the beach...I was the only one on the water...
Super Cool.
Took my Brother out for round two....we slayed um....I hadn't heard him laugh that hard in a long time...
Fishing must be good for the soul.

Awesome! I'll be in Myrtle next week on vacation but taking the yak, just fishing from the surf mainly.

There may be a reason you were the only one out there.... Myrtle beach is very restrictive on where you can use kayaks, and they ban shark fishing.

Don't get a ticket....

That within 1 mile of the beach rule seems unlawful to me...I would be curious to know how much it is enforced if at all.

 

[biglenr]

I don't make the laws.... I looked them up last year when my kids wanted to bring their kayaks on a beach vacation, after someone had told me they weren't allowed to kayak at Myrtle Beach..

They're also talking about banning surf fishing between 9:00 am and 5:00 pm.

Myrtle is all about beach goers who party and spend freely.... Surf fishermen and kayakers aren't their target audience.

Go to Surfside. You can launch from 4th avenue South. Just stay at least 50 yards off shore. I hate Myrtle. Haven't been in years.

I have never understood how they can ban "shark fishing". Just how in the $#$# do they know someone is targeting sharks. A shark will eat anything. I'm sure catmaster wasn't looking to catch a freaking shark.... Just how in the hades do you keep one off your line? Swim out and tell them "no no" when they go to bite the stinking hook?

From the look of the houses...you weren't in Myrtle at all.

I'd say you're right. It looks like either Surfside or Garden City. Really looks like Surfside to me.

 

[catmaster]

It was garden city...I was trying to catch a king...I lost a big one...and saw several sky on the bait.
Trying again tomorrow....
P.S. The Jackson Big Rig is one Wonderful Kayak...If you are a bigger guy...it is perfect for ya.

 

[riverpirate]

If you were king fishing whyd you have a circle hook and a Carolina rig? Or at least it looks like a weight in pic three can't tell for sure.

 

[catmaster]

That's an Old drum rig...all I had left...
People go fishing....I'm going to
Right now....This time targeting Sand Papers.

 

[catmaster]

As long as your not drinking and Driving everybody I talked to...too include The Police and SWLO...are cool....
and u can shoot all the fireworks u want....the place is awsome.

 

[catmaster]

Lupton rig.

I've still yet to get my yak in the salt. Need to. I'm more fond of the more laid back beaches though. There was a time in my life where Myrtle was something special....not so much now.


Sent from my kayak...

 

[catmaster]

I agree...I don't care for all the people on the beaches...but it is absolutely amazing to me that out of all those people...only two kayaks on the water and both are mine....I love Kayaking.

The less people on the water the more fish for you!!! Brings an interesting possibility to mind: most popular beaches have more people but less on the water fishing, more laid back beaches have less people on the beaches but more on the water.....certainly backwards from what most people would think.....but the overall environment sways lots of people....

 

[catmaster]

I couldn't have said it better myself....When I was on Oak Island it was like combat Kayak fishing...I couldn't believe the tension.
Think outside the box and U will leave the Sheep in the field.

Nice fishing Catmaster......Myrtle beach is good and bad.....luv in the winter but not so much in the summer....I for one don't have a problem witht the shark fishing ban which all of Horry county bans....biggest tourist beach for hnderds of miles in either direction and you could only imagine the big sharks in close if shark fishing was allowed....I have seen monster hammerheads and bulls right on the beach and don't forget the the world record tiger came off the cherry grove pier when shark fishing was allowed....the beach would be loaded with big sharks if people were chumming for them.....

If you want to catch a bif fish in Horry co put your yak in the intercoastal waterway behind basspro and catch monster blue cats there.......little known secret....

 

[catmaster]

Mac...we should fish one day...I like your Style.

 

[catmaster]

After July 4th Recess will be over...and yall will see what happens when a Hillbilly decides to stop playing and Start Fishing....Bye...Bye...Myrtle....
