Isle of Palms considering restrictions on shore-based shark fishing
ISLE OF PALMS, S.C. (WCBD) – A Lowcountry beach community is considering implementing new regulations on recreational fishing that would prevent anglers from intentionally trying to catch sharks. The discussion comes after an Isle of Palms resident raised safety concerns about a commercial shark fishing business operating from the beach near their home. 'If you're attracting larger sharks from offshore, bringing them in where it's a threat possibly to swimmers and surfers, I think that's something we definitely ought to look at,' Councilman Rusty Streetman said during a Public Safety Committee meeting last month. Current city law prohibits commercial activity on the beach, but nothing in the code specifically stops someone from recreationally fishing for sharks or other species in the surf, according to Isle of Palms Police Chief Kevin Cornett. As shore-based shark fishing becomes increasingly popular along the coast, city councilmembers are now looking at ways to curb the potentially dangerous activity. 'Shark fishing has a long and checkered history off the South Carolina coast,' Councilman Blair Hahn wrote in a June 9 message to News 2. 'It has been made in Horry County and many coastal communities for decades. For multiple reasons, the IOP never addressed this practice…I believe the time has come to do so.' The practice involves releasing chum into the water from a structure like a pier to attract sharks closer to the shore, sometimes with the help of drones or kayaks. Anglers then use heavy rods and other specialized gear to reel them in. 'We currently have multiple individuals that set up between 47th and 50th Avenue, paddle ten-pound-plus hunks of meat 200 yards offshore and set large steel J hooks,' Hahn said. He explained that an underwater ridge about one mile offshore, called the 'bump,' has become a hotspot for sharks and other large fish such as tarpons that feed on shrimp, noting that tiger sharks, bull sharks, and even Great Whites have been tracked in the area. 'Bringing these predators to shore, especially after making them angry and hungry, is an exceptionally bad idea,' Hahn said. 'I have watched individuals drag shark through surf, past multiple individuals swimming in the ocean on multiple occasions. Shark bites are bad on many levels. Obviously, shark bites create life-threatening injuries. In addition, shark bites tax our EMS services and have a chilling effect on tourism.' These techniques not only increase the likelihood of an unwanted interaction between sharks and swimmers, but the use of larger fishing gear also presents safety risks to those enjoying other activities on the water. 'The last thing we want is a kid to get stuck on a hook, and depending on what they're fishing for, could dictate how big that hook is,' Chief Cornett said during a June 3 committee meeting. The proposed restrictions would be modeled after ordinances and guidelines already in place in other parts of the state, including Seabrook Island and Horry County, according to officials. Southern Shrimp Alliance study reveals a majority of Charleston-area restaurants serve imported shrimp While the specifics are being worked out, the ordinance would generally prohibit someone from intentionally fishing for sharks and require that they be immediately released if caught – an extension of a state law that already mandates catch-and-release for certain species. Chumming with raw meat or fish parts, excluding poultry products, within a certain distance of the beach and using certain equipment like drones and trot lines would also be prohibited. 'You're not going to take feed, dead fish, and others and put it in the water,' said Councilman John Bogosian, who chairs the Public Safety Committee. 'That's specifically attracting sharks, and that activity shouldn't be legal.' Still, Bogosian questioned how the rules would be enforced given that recreational fishermen do not usually know what they will catch when casting a line. 'If you put it in there that fishing for shark is illegal, to me it's unenforceable unless someone says, 'Yeah, I'm fishing for shark,'' he said. Cornett acknowledged that enforcing a shark fishing ban would be challenging overall, but certain acts like chumming would be 'easy to verify.' The issue is expected to go back before the committee in July for further discussion. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.

Car slams into lemonade stand, critically injuring three girls, NC troopers say
Three girls were critically hurt when a Nissan ran off the road and slammed directly into their front yard lemonade stand, according to the North Carolina Highway Patrol. It happened around 1:20 p.m. Tuesday, June 10, near the intersection of Conley and Arthur Mull roads near Morganton, the Highway Patrol said in a June 11 news release. The girls are ages 7, 8 and 9, officials said. Their identities and specifics about their injuries have not been released. 'A 2007 Chevrolet HHR was attempting to turn left from a public driveway and pulled into the path of a 2017 Nissan Altima traveling north on Conley Road,' Master Trooper Christopher Casey reported in the release. 'This collision caused the Nissan to drive off the right side of the roadway and collide with three children. The three female children, who had set up a lemonade stand in the front yard ... were transported to area hospitals in critical condition.' The drivers were not injured, he said. Video recorded at the scene by WSOC shows the lemonade stand was flattened, and the vehicle came to rest in a front yard with damage to its front and back ends. The driver who collided with the lemonade stand has not been charged, officials said. The 24-year-old Hickory woman who was driving the Chevrolet HHR was cited for 'failure to yield right of way causing serious bodily injury,' officials said. The Nissan driver was identified as a 29-year-old woman from Forest City, officials said. 'The initial investigation does not indicate impairment or speed as contributing factors,' the Highway Patrol said. Jessica Tallent, who identified herself as the mother of one of the girls, said she initially thought her daughter was killed, WCNC reported. 'We thought all three of them were dead,' Tallent told the station. 'I was bawling my eyes out.' Her daughter's injuries were not as serious as the other girls, and the child is currently recovering at home, the station said. Morganton is about a 75-mile drive northwest from Charlotte.
