What is the rationalle for fishing licenses?
Q. As I understand it, at least in NC, you must have a fishing license if you are using artificial bait but you don't have to have one if you use live bait. I can't understand the reasoning. People have been feeding themselves and their families for all time by fishing. Being that there are more blue collar and lower-income people fishing for food to feed their families, how is this not the same as a tax on the poor?

A. You have a good question here and good points Natural resources such as fish are a publicly owned resource. As everyone has a stake in the resource people are licenced to use it. The licencing fees go back and are used to manage the resource so that it will be sustainable. Some of the fees are used at government owned Fish Hatcheries to fund the work that they do to sustain our fishing. Some of the fees are used for developing or fixing fish habitat. The fees are also used to fund Gamewardens as they protect the fishery from misuse. Now you make a good point that people feed themselves with these fish all the time, and thats a valid point.

What is the best way to catch fish surf fishing at Myrtle Beach at the end of February?
Q. I am headed to Myrtle Beach for just a couple days... I am a freshwater fisherman but would really like to do some surf fishing while there. Normally I would want to target a certain type of fish but since my stay will be so short, I just want to catch some, any kind, of fish. What are my best odds?

A. Surf Fishing is all about targeting fish that make a living from food that is stirred up by the waves, and tide movement. These fish often dig in the sand or mud for crabs etc. Essentially scavengers! You need to be able to cast your line approx 40-50 yards, or behind the breaking waves if possible. A local tackle shop might be able to advise you on the best sinker to attach to your line, as the sinker does most of the work when casting out. Do a search on You Tube as well.
