Saltwater fishing usually picks up in the fall, and this year has been no different along the Carolina coastlines. Inshore, offshore, nearshore, surf, and pier fishing has been great in the waters of both states for the past couple of weeks, and one of the hottest spots lately has been the Apache Pier in Myrtle Beach.
