Pier Fishing Clinic

Veterans, military members, and families can come join SCDNR and certified instructors on the pier at the Marine Corps Recruit Depot on Parris Island to learn about saltwater fishing! We will have rods and reels to borrow, bait, and everything you need to try your hands at fishing. We want to provide a relaxed environment so you can enjoy your time fishing. So come out and fish, enjoy the outdoors, and make this a Fishing Fun Day! *MUST HAVE A VALID MILITARY ID/DoD ID TO GET ON BASE OR FILL OUT THE REQUIRED INFORMATION TO GET CLEARED TO COME ON BASE*
