Getting Most Out Of Santee Cooper Fishing

By Freida Lamb


Santee Cooper fishing is not an alien name to the fish fanatics. The year-round fish catching experience in the waters of two great fishing lakes of Santee Cooper, Moultrie and Marion, makes it very attractive. These lakes offer a fine fish catching experience with the variety of fishes available.

Both of these lakes were created in 1939 for the Santee Cooper, a hydroelectric project initiated by South Carolina authorities. Now these lakes have become an ideal place to fish and house fishes like bream, catfish, striped bass, largemouth bass, white crappie, and white bass. Catfish and striped bass are popular among those coming to the area.

The water of these lakes does not turn into ice in winters and allows for fish catching throughout the year. The most popular activity here is catfishing. Catfishing is popular because of occasional large catches of catfish. There are also some stories, though largely unfounded, of monster catfish lurking in the waters.

If you want to enjoy the fun of fish catching in the waters of the lakes, you need to take certain steps. First of all, you need to obtain the fish catching license for non-residents, if you live outside the area. Then arrange the equipment and book a fishing boat.

As the area is a popular fish catching point, several guides have started providing their services. These are completely optional, but are very useful, if you are unaware of the locality and the lakes. You can easily book the services of a guide through his or her website.

If you intend to hire a guide service, collect some basic information about them. Such details and the details of their catches are easily available on their websites along with pictures. The usual charges for such service come around $200-$300 per person. Also, make sure that they have the right equipment for santee cooper fishing.
