Angling For Santee Cooper Fishing Guides

Santee Cooper fishing guides take anglers out on the lakes and waterways throughout the year. The surging demand is not just because of Lake Moultrie or Lake Marion. The appeal is more on account of the fact that the lakes, canals and rivers are interconnected into one huge navigable water body that totals a whopping 756 billion gallons. Not to mention the humongous swamp and the coastline that stretches along for hundreds of miles.

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.

It's quite possible to haul a boat out to the lakes and camp out at one of the more than 1,000 campsites along the lakeshores. Anglers coming to the SC Lakes during summer can choose to fish by day and/or night. Day-time fishing is always going to be more rewarding in terms of sheer numbers, but anglers who prefer to fish after dark tend to get the biggest catches. The down side is that it's hot and tiring by day while the night brings out the bugs in force.

Thankfully, the catfish abound in these lakes throughout the year, hanging around near the shallow flats at r below ten feet. The stripers come back in March, while crappies can be hooked in the spring in blackwater ponds before they go for deeper waters. Bream spawns from May through July.

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.

The guide will be able to help new anglers acquire the fishing license, and will take them through all the rules and state laws to be followed on the SC Lakes while fishing. They can also take care of the food and drinks, gear, and even clean the fish afterwards. Most guides are local residents who have lived in Santee or thereabouts their entire life and are intimately familiar with the waterways.

The familiarity with the waters and patterns of marine life means they can find the latest spots where the fish are plentiful. Look for an experience that includes the lakes, the Santee River, both the Diversion as well as the Re-Diversion Canal, and perhaps even some salt water fishing out on the ocean. At the same time, it's also important to select a guide based on their expertise in one or two specific kinds of fish.

Recreational visitors can always take a break from angling to enjoy some of the other pleasures of the region. Santee Cooper fishing guides are just as good at guiding visitors to the best seafood restaurants offering a large helping of Southern hospitality. Enjoy the magnificent golf courses and do some sightseeing. History buffs can visit the battlefields and museums, while nature lovers may find bird-watching and walking trails at the National Wildlife Refuge extremely refreshing.
