AN ACT TO AMEND SECTION 50-17-810, CODE OF LAWS OF SOUTH CAROLINA, 1976, AND SECTION 50-17-812, RELATING TO THE SEASONS FOR CATCHING SHAD, SO AS TO CHANGE THE SEASON ON THE EDISTO RIVER.
Be it enacted by the General Assembly of the State of South Carolina:
Season changed for catching shad on the Edisto River
SECTION 1. Section 50-17-810 of the 1976 Code is amended to read:
"Section 50-17-810. It is unlawful to catch, buy, sell, or ship white shad or hickory shad between the twenty-fifth day of March or the Saturday before Easter Sunday, whichever comes later in each year, and the first day of February in the following year, except that:
(1) From a point forty river miles from the mouth of a stream in which shad may run on to the waters of its source the closed season for shad is from the thirtieth day of April each year until the first day of February the following year, the point forty river miles from the mouth of the Combahee River being designated as Rose Hill, from the mouth of the Waccamaw River in Horry County being designated as the junction of Big Bull Creek and the Waccamaw River, from the mouth of the Pee Dee River being designated as the bridge on Highway 701 across the river and on Yauhannah Lake being designated as the bridge on Highway 701 across Yauhannah Lake. However, on the Edisto River the closed season for the taking of shad is from April fifteenth each year until January fifteenth the following year from the U. S. Highway 17 bridge to the headwaters of the Edisto River and from April first each year until January fifteenth the following year from the U. S. Highway 17 bridge at Jacksonboro seaward.
(2) On Black River the closed season for fishing for shad with skimbow or pump nets for noncommercial purposes is from May first each year until February first the following year.
(3) From the first day of February to the first day of May each year, it is lawful to use bow, skimbow, or pump nets to catch shad for noncommercial purposes.
(4) It is lawful to catch white or hickory shad for noncommercial purposes by the use of a hook and line, including rod and reel, if the individual first has procured the regular state fishing license.
(5) On the Savannah River the open season for shad is from January fifteenth through April fifteenth except that shad fishing is prohibited in Back River and the North Channel of the Savannah River downstream from New Savannah Cut, as posted.
(6) No shad may be taken by gill net in the Santee River or its tributaries upstream from South Carolina Highway 41; except that beginning at 7:00 p.m. on Tuesday and Thursday until 6:00 a.m. the following day of one week and beginning at 7:00 p.m. on Wednesday and Friday until 6:00 a.m. the following day of the following week, alternately, shad may be taken by gill net in the Santee River and its tributaries upstream from South Carolina Highway 41 to South Carolina Highway 52. If the taking of shad between Highways 41 and 52 is determined to be hazardous to the striped bass fishery by the department, it may close the waters to shad fishing by emergency regulation."
Time changed for catching shad on the Edisto River
SECTION 2. Section 50-17-812 of the 1976 Code is amended to read:
"Section 50-17-812. During the open season it is unlawful to catch shad or set a seine, a net, or other device for shad from:
(1) twelve noon on Saturday until twelve noon on Monday following, except with skimbow nets for noncommercial purposes on the Black River or Great Pee Dee River; or
(2) twelve midnight on Saturday until twelve noon on Tuesday following on the Edisto River from the U. S. Highway 17 bridge at Jacksonboro to the headwaters of the river, and twelve midnight on Friday until twelve noon Wednesday following on the Edisto River seaward of the U. S. Highway 17 bridge at Jacksonboro, except with skimbow nets for noncommercial purposes."
Time effective
SECTION 3. This act takes effect upon approval by the Governor.
Approved the 4th day of May, 1992.
