Book this charter and you will never go wrong. Best time I have had on this water in Santee in 25 years. The most fish I have ever caught in these lakes as well.

Might be better to come in the cooler months. Morning breeze was nice but after it died down it was an extremely hot June day.

Definitely book a charter, preferably Mark Lawson. Prepare for wind and rain. Canal lakes fish camp would be a good choice. Houses and cottages for rent, Mac Daddyโ€™s restaurant is great for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Small store that has bait and tackle, snacks , beer and other drinks. One stop shopping. And the staff is great! Say hey to Jennifer and Megan at Mac Daddyโ€™s.

Unfortunately, the fish cleaning station and the bathrooms were all closed by the time we docked at Mac Daddy's and we were really counting on being able to use both. So, note to self for next time, be sure to get back to the dock at Mac Daddy's before they close everything up!

Santee is a big lake with lots of area to fish! Just tough finding them sometimes and making them bite. Big ones are here though!
