My wife and in-laws are spending a week in a beach condo in Carolina Beach and myself, and father and brother in-law are looking to wet a line either in the surf or from a pier. Any tips, info, or areas of interest for surf or pier fishing in the area would be greatly appreciated. What type of rigs and bait work best? From what I've found, it looks like this time of year is pretty good for Spanish Mackeral and Whiting. I plan on visiting a local baitshop or two to get the essentials and to get a little more info about fishing in the area. My saltwater fishing experience has previously been limited to a little pier fishing so any help would be great. Also, what type of license will we need for out of state? Thanks in advance!![]()
