KA Guide Service Santee – Catfish
+8Do you want to enjoy a fun and super relaxing day fishing the Santee Cooper lakes? KA Guide Service is ready to make it happen!
Capt. Kyle is on a mission to have a great adventure doing what he does best, helping you fish for big Catfish. During the 8-hour trips, you’ll be using techniques like light tackle, heavy tackle, and drift fishing, all to get that Catfish. You’ll be going after exciting varieties of Catfish that populate these waters, such as Blue, Flathead, White, and Channel Catfish. Don’t be surprised if other fish species might also bite because these lakes are home to a couple more, but Catfish is king supreme!
Santee Cooper lakes are one of the best destinations in the country for catfishing. These deep waters are home to record-breaking catch, attracting anglers of all levels looking to find that dream big Catfish. The world’s biggest Channel Catfish was caught at Santee Cooper in 1964. Isn’t it time somebody breaks that record?
You’ll be fishing from a 30’ Custom Tritoon with a full enclosure for your convenience, ensuring you’ll be super comfortable out on the water. It has enough room for up to 6 anglers at any time and includes an ice box. All the necessary fishing gear is included in the price of your trip. Fishing licenses aren’t included, so get them ahead of time.
The boat will be supplied with drinks for your pleasure, be sure to let the captain know if you have any questions or want to bring your own. Children are welcome aboard, so you’re good to get the young ones started early. You’re welcome to keep all legal species caught during the trip.

Full Day Trip – Catfish (PM) on August 9, 2023
Out of nine very good guides Over 55 year's I've had the pleasure to fish with Kyle Austin is #1. Caught 14 nice Blue Arkansas, few channel for baking and a tuřtle. Abù Garcia reels to navigation technology A-1 but more importantly Ķyle knows how to use it. His demeanor before during and after was upbeat and refreshing. R. Duckworth C. Presnell J. Pons
