When i go down to myrtle beach this summer im thinking about fishing from the beach with shrimp or something. Do people do this, are you allowed to, do you catch anything? I dont think ive ever seen anyone fishing from the shore before unless they go very early in the morning which i guess would make alot of sense. ---

3lb weights??? 2oz weight is enough to bend the tip of the rod there is no way you were throwing 3lbs baitcasting ---

When I lived in Connecticut we used to go to the shore to fish. I think we used Eel. I hate fishing. ---

we were just there this summer for a wedding, tons of people fishing at night…and tons of people getting stung by jellyfish during the day. The lifeguards were walking/driving around and they all had spraybottles of ammonia for the people who were getting stung. Thing is, people would SEE other people get stung, watch them get sprayed down by ammonia, and still go in the ocean or let their kids in there. :ugh: North myrtle beach is WAY nicer than Myrtle Beach! ---

I have never been stung by jelly fish… they are only in the water up there when it is Warm. So… for like 3 weeks out of the year there are jellyfish on the northern shores… you must have gotten te lucky time of the year… I’m so scared of Jellyfish… but yea- people fish all the time off the shore up there! ---

> [@67 RS/SS](#): > > cause its smells like ur underwear? 🤣 🤣 Anyways, I’ve seen people fishing in Ocean City at night from the beach… A couple of years ago this guy was doing it and had an inflatible pool on the beach with him and had a couple of small sand sharks in there that he caught. It was pretty cool… Make sure you’ve got an ocean fishing rod or something, I dont think an ugly stick or an ultralight for ponds or streams is going to work in the ocean. ---
