A record-breaking day off the coast of Georgetown 🎣

On Tuesday, angler Jerry String landed a 35.2-pound yellowfin grouper, setting a new South Carolina state record, with his son Owen at the helm.

Huge congratulations to the Strings on an unforgettable catch and a true Lowcountry memory.

This Friday, South Carolina anglers begin their long-awaited 14-day red snapper season. In a new commentary for @PostandCourier, SCBFA President and CEO @GettysBrannon explains why those 14 days are about much more than access.

With a defined harvest limit, free permits, required trip declarations and electronic catch reporting, this is a responsible opportunity to collect real-time data and prove whether South Carolina can manage recreational access. It is a state-led approach already proven in Gulf red snapper management.

The point is simple: If better data, stronger accountability and meaningful state-federal cooperation are truly the goal, South Carolina and the South Atlantic states deserves the chance to test the solution.

Conservation must remain paramount, but it should not be confused with exclusion. Healthy fisheries and meaningful recreational access can coexist.

Worth the detour 🌊

This week, we’re heading to Lake Juniper at Cheraw State Park, a quiet 360-acre lake surrounded by cypress-lined wetlands in Chesterfield County.

Whether you’re paddling through the wetlands, fishing for bass, crappie, bream and catfish, camping along the lake or taking in the views from the boardwalk, Lake Juniper offers plenty of ways to enjoy a slower day on the water.

A catch to remember. 🎣

Nine-year-old Will Nelson of Greenville reeled in a nearly 150-pound tarpon off Pawleys Island, putting the catch just a few pounds shy of South Carolina’s state record.

After a roughly 10-minute fight, the fish was brought alongside the boat, photographed and released.

Quite the catch off the South Carolina coast. by @scbfa

The longest red snapper season in 17 years is coming to South Carolina 🎣

South Carolina anglers will have at least 14 days of recreational access to red snapper this fall following NOAA Fisheries’ approval of the state’s EFP.

The October 9–22 season is 12 days longer than last year and represents an important first step toward long-term state management of the South Atlantic red snapper fishery.

“This is the most meaningful access South Carolina anglers have had to this fishery in more than 15 years, but the bigger story is where we go from here,” said SCBFA President & CEO Gettys Brannon. “Fourteen days is a significant win, but proving that state-led management works could fundamentally change how this fishery is managed for years to come.”

Attorney General @alanwilsonsc, who has been a strong advocate for greater state involvement in red snapper management, also weighed in:

“I’ve always said South Carolina knows best how to manage the fisheries off our coast,” said Attorney General Wilson. “This EFP is an important step toward state-led management and gives us the opportunity to collect better data while protecting the resource. I look forward to continuing our work to ensure South Carolina anglers have fair access to an abundant fishery for years to come.”

⚠️ Angler participation and reporting will be critical. Participating anglers must follow SCDNR permitting, trip declaration and reporting requirements. The experimental harvest permit is free. by @scbfa
