There's a couple of places you can fish from the bank. I was out that way last year and tried it. I think Fishdoc or Ibnfishn told me where it was, I forget. It's right off of 58. You can also bank fish on the river after it leaves Buggs, and before it gets to Gaston. Hwy1 I think?
I mean it's not at all like having a boat, but it beats not fishing at all.
