grampa1114 Posted October 20, 2015 Posted October 20, 2015 Just got here and looking for a starting point. Right now I'm on IoP and don't see any fresh water..... Grampa Quote
Super User the reel ess Posted October 21, 2015 Super User Posted October 21, 2015 Santee Cooper lakes are just up the road from you. There are a lot of good guides there if you want to increase your odds. They have trophy bass and blue catfish as well as a striped bass fishery that's on the rebound. The striper and catfish limits are strict. Here's the dividing line for fresh/salt licensing. It's a long way up the rivers. http://www.dnr.sc.gov/marine/dividingline.html That doesn't mean you can't catch bass farther down the river. If you hit the right brackish area, I hear you can catch bass and redfish in the same place. Quote
Super User the reel ess Posted October 21, 2015 Super User Posted October 21, 2015 Or you can go for reds, flounder and trout. Quote
scfox11 Posted October 21, 2015 Posted October 21, 2015 The Goose creek reservoir is an option as well as the Cooper river. Here is a link to a tourney they had earlier in the year on the Cooper, winner had a 42 pound bag.. simply amazing. http://www.scfishingreport.com/42-pound-sack-caught-on-cooper-river/ Quote
grampa1114 Posted October 22, 2015 Author Posted October 22, 2015 Thanks for the help...those rivers are mighty confusing but if I get both licenses it won't matter. Goose Creek seems inviting but for the gators.....and Moultrie and Marion look very appealing. See you out there. Grampa 1 Quote
Super User Chris at Tech Posted October 22, 2015 Super User Posted October 22, 2015 Redfish. That is all. Quote
