you think i should even use a leader if im surf fishing?

If it has teeth I was always taught to use a wire............

yes....our usual surf rig is a three way or a slip rig then run several yards of top shot.

usually unless im straight shark fihing i only have a leader for about the last two foot before the hook. if sharks are my main target....i shoot for 5' leader give or take.

but i dont know what kind of rods your using. mine ar around 12' so a 5' leader aint a big deal to cast

my rod is like 8 foot.. :naughty:

In 1964, The 1,780-pound, world record tiger shark was caught by Walter Maxwell from Cherry Grove Pier. It remains to this day the only all-tackle world record ever caught in South Carolina. The shark is estimated to have weighed in at 2,000 lbs when it was caught, but it was not weighed until the next day when it could be trucked to Loris and placed on the scales. (Additional pictures are in our photo gallery).

in some of the surfs i fish down here they used to pull 13' plus tigers and hammers out alot. not so much anymore tho...

we still break the 10-12 marks alot but not nearly like they used to.

they all came here.. people have been catching pretty big sharks and they are close to shore. like i was just past the break water about to catch a foot ball and there was a black tip like 5 feet away from me.


i got out and casted where he last was but no dice :(

im surprised they dont bother more people here at myrtle beach. flying parallel with the coast at 500' you can see them,,,,,,,,,,,everywhere :eek2:

Only fun part about fishing is drinking
Lol.

Chad, you are probably as bad at fishing as I am.

The Chat Thread
 

Probably. That's why I don't think it's fun lol

lol shad can you do anything without alcohol?

When I used to fish, I enjoyed almost everything about fishing except failing to catch fish. I liked having, modifying, trailering, and using my boat. I liked trying to choose the best equipment, organizing it, and using it. I kinda liked trying to understand where fish would be.

I hated not catching anything, and I hated snagging hooks on weeds. Everything is all weeds around here.

If I actually caught a fish I'd probably hate trying to unhook it, though. I have caught some fish in my life and that's always been a pain in the ass. Since I catch&release (I don't eat fish nor do I know anyone who wants what I catch) I try to throw them back without destroying them...

take it easy on shad. he aint near as bad as us texas boys down south

chriz cAINT handle teh leecour imo. hatin an shit

Come down here when the spot are running. ANYONE can catch those things. If you want some fun come to the outer banks when the tuna come down on the labrador current. :whoa:

No, I just become concerned when people see no enjoyment in mundane activities without the influence of alcohol, drugs, etc. Yes even concern for Chadler. As of right now I'd rather not see him throw his life away over a bottle like some individuals I know. In moderation I don't have a problem with it at all............that wasn't always the case. However I also like to take the opportunity to prevent a disastrous outcome (see: my dumbass cousin serving 6 months for dui in SC) when it seems as though someone doesn't see the flashing runway lights toward fucking up your life.
