Often overlooked for some bigger fish, Crappie is still a hot favorite for anglers to target, and for good reason too. This delicious Panfish is a joy to behold on the dinner table at the end of a successful day, and it’s also plenty of fun to reel in, especially for beginners. Bring the whole family to indulge in Santee Cooper’s Crappie fishing riches, and you won’t regret it!
Both Lake Marion and Lake Moultrie are well-stocked with White and Black Crappie, so you’re sure to get what you want out of a fishing trip here. With the fishing season open year-round, you can take advantage of the mild South Carolinian winters to catch a warming dinner, or get the kids hooked on fishing when school’s out in summer.
While these small fish are great for beginners and children to target, the liberal bag limits also make them a great fish to target for more experienced anglers in Santee Cooper. Spend your day trying to fill the boat, and you could walk away with up to 20 of these creatures. Choose from morning, afternoon, and full day trips, and get exactly what you want out of your trip here!
