What anglers said about fishing in Santee-Cooper

Right now with the flood in North Carolina and the decision to lower the water table in Lake Moultrie itโ€™s a bit muddy on half the lake. Not an ideal situation, but still some good fishing to be had.

Bring sunscreen, sunglasses and hats. I chose to wear long pants and long sleeve shirt both light weight and quick dry. I was happy but warm.

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!
