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.
Recreational visitors come here all the time from every corner of North America to find the plentiful striped bass and largemouths, crappies, breams and an assortment of other catches. Some of the biggest blue catfish in the world can be found here. The SC Lakes still hold many state and world titles such as the world's biggest channel catfish record.
Many people bring their own boats and camp out along the lakeshore. There are in excess of a thousand campsites along the shores, so there's no dearth of space. Anglers can choose to fish by day or night. The fish bite more during the day, but the big record-breaking catches tend to go to the night owls. On the minus side, the bugs will make life hard at night while the heat takes a toll in the daytime, especially during summer.
Fortunately enough, catfish can be found at any time during the year. The best spots are in waters less than 10 feet deep, near shallow flats. Stripers will return in March, while crappies can be found in ponds until the spring before they hightail it for deeper waters. Breams are available from May-July when they spawn.
Bass fishing is among the most popular recreational activities on the SC Lakes. They hide out from Feb-June in shallow water grass, and then head out for the depths until October. Anglers who need help with any of this can hire professional guides with boats to take visitors to angle to the right place at exactly the right time.
These guides can help with the fishing license if required, and they know all the state laws and local ordinances that need to be observed by anglers and hunters. They can also provide the gear, food and drinks, and most will also lend a hand in cleaning the fish afterwards. These are people who were born in Santee or nearby communities, and know the lakes and waterways like the back of their hand.
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.
