Fishing Tactics & Local Know-How

On Santee Cooper and its sister lakes, we mix up our tactics based on the season and conditions. In the warmer months, you might find yourself flipping jigs around submerged timber or working topwater lures across grass beds at first light. When the water cools down, we often switch to crankbaits or Alabama rigs to target bass holding near deeper structure. Your guide will clue you in on what's working best and help you fine-tune your technique. These lakes are known for producing some absolute giants, so be ready for that rod to double over at any moment!

Species You'll Want to Hook

Largemouth Bass: The star of the show in these lakes, Santee Cooper largemouth are known for growing big and fighting hard. These bass often hang out near submerged timber, grass lines, and deep ledges. In the spring, you might find them in shallower water, while summer and winter tend to push them deeper. The lake record stands at over 16 pounds, so always be ready for that fish of a lifetime! Largemouth here love to smash topwater lures, but they'll also fall for a well-presented plastic worm or jig. The thrill of seeing a big bass explode on your lure is something you'll never forget.

While we primarily target largemouth, these lakes are also home to some other impressive gamefish. Striped bass, catfish, and crappie all call these waters home. Don't be surprised if you hook into a hefty blue catfish or a school of stripers while bass fishing – it just adds to the excitement of fishing these diverse lakes!
