I am geting ready for a trip to S.C. and will be hitting the Beaufort area for some inshore fishing off of basically a dock. I fish mostly in KY but go down there occasionally for some fishing. I plan on using about 3 poles. 2 10' surf rods one with 30 lb power plus and one with 65 lb power plus. on the 65 lb I will probably be using a float rig with menhaden between 4-6" if available and the other 10' i will probably be using a carolina rig with shrimp or menhaden as well maybe a bit smaller. the other rod is 7'6" with a cheap reel and 30 lb power plus. I plan on fishing that close to the dock with fiddler crab because there are a lot of them there on the beach or maybe some shrimp. I will be probably be using 6/0 or 4/0 circle hooks on the out poles and 2/0 or 3/0 circle on the dock pole. I know there will be a whiting, sheepshead and some smaller blacktips. But since this will be inshore What other fish will be there about the second week in July. Also on the float rig I have 2 oz weights should I use more, and how big of a float at what depth. I also thought about some flounder with the shrimp but there will be no boat to drift.
