MY KINDA' LIVIN'
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 9/6/05
The Cherry Grove Pier is definitely "My Kinda' Livin'". I try to have a "fishing outing" there at least once a year and each trip is different but, I never fail to enjoy each one...guess I just like fishing that much.
And, you don't have to take the expensive offshore fishing boat trips to catch citation size fish as many a record has been broken from this pier. It stretches almost a quarter mile into the ocean and such fish as King Mackral, Cobia, Blue Fish and Stripers, just to name a few, can be caught there. It's the OCEAN and all fishes are possible. A run of Croaker, Mullet or Spots can be an enjoyable fishing experience for the "die-hard" fisherman, families and children alike. All types of fishing tackle can be used, but if you want to make sure they aren't "the one that got away", you may want to consider bringing some with a little heavier line. I always enjoy helping those that have never fished in saltwater get the right rig together.
I call each visit to the PIER another "fishing experience", because fishing has many facets. There is fishing for the enjoyment of fishing and catching fishes for a cook-out with friends or preserving for those dinners when fish are the main course or for just visiting. Always amazing that you will find people from all over the WORLD visiting there. You'll be surprised to find people from your State and maybe from your Town. And, you may even get a glimpse of "Vanna White" visiting with family and friends (Myrtle Beach is her hometown).
These outings are always great and enjoyable and definitely worth the money. But, you have to always keep one thing in mind.....you are "fishing" and no one says you have to be "catching", LOL!! Definitely can recommend the Cherry Grove Fishing Pier to anyone visiting in Myrtle Beach. Get up early, go to the "Driftwood Resturant" for a hardy breakfast and get out there amongst them.
