TweetI go surf fishing 4 or 5 times a year in Tybee Island, GA or Hilton Head, SC. I'm not a very knowledgeable surf fisherman and can't offer up any secrets but, I have caught several hammerhead sharks off the beach in Hilton Head. They usually measure between 2 and 4 feet in length.
It's pretty cool reeling in a shark off the beach

Tweet^^ I use live bait. No cut bait.

Tweetlive blue runners work awesome

i was born in GA and have family in SC. I fished off Mt Pleasant dozens of times as a kid. we caught sand fleas and used them for bait. never caught any good fish.

I heard the Texas Coast live mullet or cut mullet are great baits. also slabs of stingrays is good tough bait. called a buddy who fishes the coast a lot. he says in the 3rd gut in 6-7' of water good shot at a big bull or a blacktip.

I cant wait. have 2 big rods a 12' with a big ass spinning reel and 40# line and a 9' with a smaller reel filled with 25# line. also my bass tackle with 12-15#line

and i am not good with it but have a 10' cast net i have used to catch mullet and piggy perch. one time i caught 10 or so specks all were keepers but not legal to harvest that way so i threw them back

TweetFlorida here. Not gonna catch the bull reds surf fishing here but bonet heads and nurse sharks are popular when I'm out surfing I usually see a few sharks caught on the beach.

TweetI love to fish...I'm jealous brother...keep is updated! But live bait is the way to be...either catch some bait fish or buy some from the fish market if they r avail...hell, so kids will probably have fish for sale from the day lol

i have never had any luck with a sabiki. i have several and have run them through a school of finger mullet dozens of times without a bite. maybe the water was too colored or they just were not biting. tried on 3-4 trips. i will stick with my cast net. i always catch stuff with it.
