Pier Fishing Clinic at Springmaid Pier

Note: This is an active fishing clinic that is hands-on. There is no classroom setting so you will be learning on the pier.

Our Saltwater Fishing Clinics are introductory classes to saltwater fishing. The pier fishing clinic will teach you skills on how to tie fishing knots, how to rig a rod and reel, casting, and the best part is everyone will get to try their hand at pier fishing. Children 6 and up to adults are welcome, so come out and play, enjoy the outdoors, and make this a Fishing Fun Day! You must RSVP to attend.

The pier covers your fishing license for this clinic.

Details for the event:

• What to bring: Dress is casual. Check the weather report and dress appropriately as you will be outside. Other items to consider bringing include a hat, sunglasses, and reusable water bottle. All fishing supplies will be provided for the duration of the clinic. This is a catch-and-release clinic.

You will meet inside the pier store where Certified Fishing Instructors will give a short introduction then you will go out onto the pier for an active fishing clinic!

• Costs: The clinic is free of charge.

• Weather: Clinics are held rain or shine unless hazardous weather occurs.

• Parking: There is free parking available. There is a parking garage across from the hotel and pier on the right, as you're driving towards the hotel. You can also park in open spots near the pier.

Remember, you are never too old to start your saltwater fishing journey!
