So two final questions...I think we are going to go to Holly Beach just because it's about as close as possible for us. So my questions...do I need a fishing license? I'm finding varying answers online. From what I can tell, I only need a license if I am on a refuge...otherwise I don't need anything. But then I read that I need a one-day $17.50 license no matter where I go...so I don't really know. And finally...can I go as early as I want at Holly Beach, or do I have to wait until sunrise?

You don't need a license if you only use hand lines and a net. I'm pretty sure this goes for the reserves too but you might want to double check.
