Find you a hornet's nest, tie to the tree and fish crickets underneath it. Red breast swarm those things.

They are fresh water fish... depends on what you are fishin for...
Bream, use crickets, no corks and fish around the bases of trees. Also throw a white beetle spin. Bream and bass will work on it.
Catfish: cut bait in deep holes on carolina rigs. Fish in the evenings on sandbars. Fish live bait on carolina rigs in log jams for large flatheads.
If you want a truly epic bream smashing trip, find some road kill or kill a yote and put him in a gunny sack hanging from a limb over the water. Come back in a few days and fish upwind underneath it.

The water is still a bit cool and a little high, Bass fishing is pretty good down river of Conway but the tide is important. I always prefered a high tide falling, fish it till it's dead low. Bass fishermen are not doing to well right now. It will get better.
You can always fish live bait (Breams) on the bottom for catfish, just need to find some deep holes.

The last I heard they were killing the bream on red worms on the bottom. As for the bass, I would suggest going toward the rice fields due to the fact that we have been catching down there. If you go, good luck and God Bless!!

I remember the oldtimers jiggerfishing in the creeks off the river, like Jericho and Thoroughfare. One would paddle. The other would lean out over the bow with a 12 to 15 foot cane pole, 8 inches of 80 lb test line and a 3 hook Bagley's Bang-o-lure on the end. He'd tap-tap-tap the tip of the pole into the water along the edge of the grass until WHAM-O, a big bass would surface slam the lure.

well at least if you don't have any bites, it is one of the most beautiful rivers in sc. Along with Little pee dee.

fish on bottom with worms for bream
cricket under a small cork
beetle spin (Original Flipo) sort of a black with small specks of yellow/red on it. You can usually find them around the fishing section of local stores (not Walmart)

It sure is the most beautiful river in the state. And none more historic. I'll never understand why they permitted the Heritage Marina, right in the middle of the prettiest stretch of all, overlooking the ricefields of an antebellum governor who was also the most successful rice planter in SC history.

We use Eel's on the bottom to catch big cats. You will need heavy duty gear... just sayin.
