Santee Cooper fishing guides are kept busy all year round, and with good reason. It's not just about being able to fish in the Marion and Moultrie lakes. The whole area is an angler's paradise with 756 billion gallons of water pooled into a navigable interconnecting system of waterways that includes two lakes, a couple of rivers and canals, a vast swamp and an endless coastline.
The SC Lakes are well stocked with everything from striped bass and largemouths to bream and crappies that attract anglers from all over South Carolina and North America. The huge blue catfish are justifiably famous. Many state and world records belong to the SC Lakes, including the title of the world's largest channel catfish.
The intrepid angler may haul a boat and trailer out to the lakes and set up camp on the lakeshore. There are more than 1,000 campsites to choose from, so there's more than enough room for everyone in the outdoors to fish day and night. The fish are always going to be more plentiful during the day, but the night usually provides the record-breakers. The disadvantage is that the bugs can make life difficult at night, while the summer heat during the daytime takes a toll.
The catfish bite all year long, and can be found at depths of 10 feet or less near shallow flats. Stripers return to the lakes in March, and bream can be found until July. Crappies can be found in shallow ponds until spring, and then they move into the depths for the rest of the year.
Bass fishing is booming at the SC Lakes around grass in shallow waters in the first half of the year. From June through October, they tend to hang out around deeper grass at depths of about 10 feet. An easier way to be in the right place at the right time is to get a guide with a boat for hire.
Hiring a guide is also helpful in many other ways, including for acquiring a fishing license and making sure anglers do not flout state law and local regulations. Along with the boat, the guide should be able to supply food, drinks, gear and will likely clean the catch afterwards. They're all residents of Santee or other communities nearby, and can navigate blindfolded through the waterways.
They can take visitors to all the great fishing spots, and safely navigate through the waterways to provide a diverse experience that includes everything from the two lakes to the Diversion and Re-Diversion Canal, the Santee River and on to salt water catches in the ocean. However, each guide typically focuses on only one or two specific kinds of fish, so it's important to get hold of the right guide based on the visitor's own preference for angling.
A visit to this beautiful patch of the Palmetto State is not just about fish or marine activities. Santee Cooper fishing guides are just as sure-footed on land and can show guests around the area. Enjoy fresh seafood and Southern hospitality, tee off on the green at the golf courses, and check out the sights. The Wildlife Refuge is a great place for bird-watching and nature trail walks. Those who prefer to head back in time can visit some of the fascinating museums and battlefields from the Revolutionary War.
