How about some Surf Fishing?



Dad or Grandpa helps pack up the car and rustle the kids into the back seat. He drives all the way down to Surf City, then hauls everything up stairs. They're barely done when Mom asks if they'll take the kids out swimming. After chasing the kids around, he tiredly brings them back inside for meals, showers and eventually that night, bed.

The good thing is that the kids will sleep in - at least longer than Dad or Gramps will. But what can Dad or Gramps do with those early morning hours of peacefulness?

How about fishing the surf? He can catch small sharks, jacks and other ocean delights while he sits back and enjoys the peacefulness of the morning. Yet, unlike deep sea fishing, with surf fishing he can reel them in and join the family when they get stirring and ready to do something.

He can rent equipment for the week and get a license at East Coast Sports in downtown Surf City. Click on East Coast Sports or click here for more places to buy or rent fishing gear on Topsail Island.

Sounds like an exciting activity! Surf fishing is one of the newest attractions in the beach. I think it would be great to try that with other family members during a vacation.

Our family usually spends time in the beach. Since we are far from the coast, we opted to stay in vacation rentals (in Panama City Beach, Florida and other places). Last year, we stayed in the resorts in Panama City Beach, FL. There are a lot of interesting activities there that would be entertaining for all family members.

Hope we could also try the surf fishing next summer. Thanks!

OK, I just caught a fish yesterday, but that picture makes me want to run down there or to one of the resorts in Myrtle Beach – Huntington has some great fishing, and North Santee Bay is excellent fishing this time of year. What a great reason to sit out on the beach!
