You're in good shape then. If you plan on fishing from a pier, make sure one of the things you pack is plenty of rope. Remember, you've got a decent drop before your cast net, or bait bucket, hit the water. With your bait bucket, you've got to have enough extra rope to compensate for the change in tides too.
You can dig sandfleas up for free along the piers. They are especially easy to get during low tide. Wait for the water to break on the beach, and as the water flows out, look for the little "V's" in the sand. Dig where the v's are. (be mindful of the larger seashells, which also create said v) Live sandfleas are great bait for surf fishing.
The catfish around here love live bait and and fresh cut bait. We'll actually keep the fish live before we cut it. A big bream head is actually one of my favorite baits. Cut and live eel is also great bait for big cats, and can be found at some of the local bait and tackle stores. Irby Street here in Florence sells them, if you happen to cut through here on your way.
Let us know how it works out for you man. Good luck! Also, if you get bored with being land locked, there are a couple places in murrells inlet you can rent boats, and I know the bulk of the charter captains in that area as well. In fact, I just hooked up a couple soldiers with a friend of mine. [cool]
