Santee Cooper Fishing Guides Cajun

I have )

Santee Cajun Guide Service started out 1996 when Boudreaux was working all over the world and I was fishing by myself. Some of the other guides on the lake suggested I get my captains license and take others fishing. Who knew at that time that in just these short years we could grow to a point that we could have to add a 3rd ship. Boudreaux could get his Captian’s license and we could both Guide fishermen full time. Now our son scott is joining the team! we’re independent lake inhabitant licensed guides. We don’t work for any specific landing. We fish individually or as a team. We don’t hunt, or fish other lakes and rivers in South Carolina, although we could. (finandfield.com)

Santee Cooper it was in these waters that the distinctive landlocked striped bass originated in the late 1940 s. Since that time, the lakes have made many world record catches, as well as a 55 pound striper, a 58 pound channel catfish, a 109 pound blue catfish and a 5 pound black crappie. A white crappie weighing 5 pounds and 2 ounces missed still another world record by a single oz. Nothing may be better than fishing in South Carolina! If you haven’t already had the pleasure SC fishing is something you’re going to really enjoy. Lake Moultrie and Lake Marion have also made a state record largemouth bass weighing 16 pounds 2 ounces and a chain pickerel weighing 6 pounds. (bellsmarina.com)

On the business end of the line for drifting he uses his standard Santee-style drifting rig. A barrel swivel connects the rig to the major line and to that he ties off a homemade slinky sinker which is a length of inch utility cord filled with buck shot. A shoelace may also hold the weights. The leader line is the same 25-pound Cajun Red line, though some anglers like to use a heavier leader up to 40 pound or more. Jim usually uses about 3 or 4 feet of leader line to keep the bait 1-3 feet off the bottom, however if fish are suspended higher in the water column 8 or more feet of leader may be used to get the bait higher up.

This Southern icon is all about big sandy beaches on the lazy river and stringers of redbreast sunfish a. K. A. Redbellies . High winter water has pushed the Suwannee over its banks for the last few years, creating a smorgasbord for fish gorging before the spawn. Last year was the best season locals could remember, says Merel Pafford of Bowhunters Gun, Archery, Bait, and Tackle right outside of Old Town, Fla. We had pound and pound-and-a-quarter redbellies in the store, Pafford says. Can t imagine it won t be just as good this year. Crickets and mealworms work great, however last year Pafford brought in green worms that sent redbellies on a feeding tear. (fieldandstream.com)

Brian, who builds custom cupboards in homes across north Georgia, 1st fell in love with striper fishing when he was 14 years old. Brian and a friend were catfishing on Santee-Cooper Reservoir in South Carolina when an old man approached them. He told the two if they could help him catch bait, he could show them how to catch some big fish. “We helped him, and we caught some nice fish, and I was hooked, ” Brian said. “I could rather do this than anything else. ”.

Bass detect high frequencies from 20 1000 cycles per second but catfish can detect high frequencies at 13, 000 cycles per second. Low frequencies not detectible because of only having an inner ear are detected through a series of small pores containing cells with hairlike projections down the side of the fish. These projections move with water displacement which stimulate nerves and send a signal to the brain. Everything that moves in and around water creates these low frequency vibrations that catfish can detect. (catfishedge.com)

Lake Washington is just about an hour southwest of Grenada, and has only become nationally recognized in the last 5 or 6 years. Washington differs from the other famous lakes in Mississippi as it’s an oxbow, and it differs from other oxbows because it’s now cut off from the river that made it. Though there’s an area of 10 to 15 feet of water, most of the lake consists of coverless flats ranging in depth from 5 to 8 feet, enclosed on one side by houses and piers, and the other by ancient cypress groves. As with the other Mississippi lakes, the growth rate of the crappie is phenomenal, finding lots of 4-year-old, 15-inch crappie ranging from 2 to 2 1/2 pounds, and turning out many 3-plus-pounders yearly.

Crappie: Good to good. Captain Steve English says that crappie fishing in the Santee Cooper lakes is still strong, however as projected seasonally everything is starting to move deeper. The best action was coming fishing 18-24 feet down over deep brush with minnows. Bream: Good. Captain Steve English says that bluegill remain bunched up around brushpiles and continue to feed well, however like the crappie they have moved deeper. Fishing crickets 20-25 feet down over brush in 25-35 feet of water was the best pattern, with crappie found on some of the same brush. Bluegill are usually a more violent than crappie so the best bet for anglers aiming at crappie is to move on to the next brushpile if they start catching bream. (thelakemurraynews.net)
