The Association is dedicated for the purpose of promoting saltwater fishing and conservation of our local fishing waters for all to enjoy!
How we got here.......
Back in the Winter of 2003-2004, two fishing buddies got together at the Myrtle Beach Boat Show and decided to try and start a fishing club in the North Strand area of Myrtle Beach, S. Carolina near the North Carolina/South Carolina state line.
The talk was that fishing is a dying sport because a lot of kids who could be out fishing and enjoying our natural resources are "in" playing video games or because of city living don't get to go out in the fresh air much less fish. So it seemed that the ranks of the "old" fishermen are dwindling. They wanted to share their knowledge of saltwater fishing with others in the community as well as with the kids.
So after getting help from an established club in the Murrells Inlet area they soon became four fishing buddies, then ten, then twenty and so on until the club had upwards of 70 members! And that is how the Seacoast Anglers Association was born.
The club is now well established in the community, doing projects like recycling monofilament fishing line, beach & waterway cleanups, helping to build the Jim Caudle Reef, taking Disabled Veterans fishing, and many more projects. It is a very active club and its members have many social activities associated with fishing as well. Our meetings feature a Guest Speaker to give a seminar on a marine or fish related subject.
Join us for the fun of being with people with the same interests as you!
