Well, well, well, if you’re lookin’ for some good fishin’ down at Folly Beach Pier, I reckon you’ve come to the right place! Now, listen here, the fishin’ ain’t never been better, and it’s gonna keep on goin’ till at least December, so don’t go thinkin’ it’s over just ’cause it’s gettin’ a bit cooler. Let me tell ya, you can still catch yourself a fine mess of fish, if you know where to cast that line!
First thing’s first, the ol’ redfish and whiting are bitin’ like there’s no tomorrow. You can find ‘em off the pier, and trust me, they’re hungry. If you’re lookin’ to hook yourself a good ol’ redfish, you gotta get there early in the mornin’, especially when the tide’s high. The fish love it when the water’s all stirred up, and that’s when they come out to play.
And let me tell ya, there’s more than just them redfish. Over by the end of the pier, you might just hook yourself a big ol’ tarpon. Now, that’s a real fightin’ fish! You best be ready for a tug-of-war if you get one on your line. Folks are also pullin’ in some mighty fine king and Spanish mackerel, and if you’re lucky, you might catch a bluefish or even a jack. Just gotta make sure you cast your line far enough, ‘cause the big ones like to hang out in deep water, ‘round 25 feet deep when the tide’s high.
Now, don’t go thinkin’ the fishin’ is just for the big ones, no sir. If you’re more in the mood for somethin’ a little smaller, you can always find some pompano in the middle of the pier. They ain’t too hard to catch, but you gotta have patience, just like with anything else.
The fishin’ ain’t the only thing worth doin’ at Folly Beach Pier, mind ya. You got folks walkin’ up and down the pier, birdwatchin’, and just enjoyin’ the fresh sea air. It’s a fine way to spend a day, I tell ya.
And let’s not forget about them bonnethead sharks! Yep, you heard me right—bonnethead sharks. They’ve been swimmin’ ‘round the banks, their fins stickin’ outta the water. Now, they ain’t the biggest sharks, but it sure is somethin’ to see. They come cruisin’ along the shoreline like they own the place. Ain’t nothing quite like seein’ one of ‘em glidin’ through the water as you sit there fishin’.
As for the shrimp, they’ve been jumpin’ outta the mud flats too, and when you see ’em flickin’ through the water, you know the fish are close behind. Makes for a good day when everything’s all stirred up and the fish start bitin’. You don’t need no fancy equipment neither. Just a rod, a good spot on the pier, and a little patience. That’s all you need to catch somethin’ worth braggin’ about when you get back home.
Now, I ain’t gonna lie, it ain’t all sunshine and fish. If you wanna fish off the pier, you gotta pay for a valid fishing pass at the gift shop. You can’t just show up and start castin’ without one. And, remember this too—no fishin’ after sunset. They don’t let you fish in the dark, so make sure you pack up before the sun dips low. Also, don’t be one of them folks who leave their rods unattended. Keep an eye on that line, ‘cause if you ain’t payin’ attention, you might miss a good catch.
Before I forget, if you ain’t familiar with all the rules around here, you best check in with the staff. They’ll let ya know where the fish are bitin’ best, and where to cast your line for a good catch. There’s always someone around to help, whether you’re a first-timer or a seasoned fisherman. They even got reports to let ya know what’s been caught, so you ain’t sittin’ there waitin’ for hours for nothing. Make sure you read up on them updates, they’ll save ya some time.
I reckon that’s about all I can tell ya. If you’re lookin’ for a peaceful day of fishin’, a little fresh sea air, and maybe a few fish for dinner, then Folly Beach Pier is the place to be. Just don’t forget to bring that fishing pass, keep an eye on your rod, and be ready for a good time. The fish are out there, waitin’ for ya to come on down and hook ‘em!
