South Carolina cat fishing

This is where it's all going on. One can ask for advice or general information or simply chew the fat about fishing tackle, tips, and locations.

South Carolina cat fishing

Post by Geos »

I finally made it out on the lake for some fishing fishing today.
I am camped out at santeelakes-campground http://www.santeelakes-campground.com we arrived just after xmas, and then went shoppin around for for a pontoon.
We found a 2006 21ft sedona fishing pontoon with a 90 yamaha on the back in minit cond. (new camp boat)
Today I took it out on Lake Marion http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lake_Mario ... _Carolina)
Catfish here should avg 20-30 lbs, a good size is 55lbs and biggest from this lake is 109lbs guess what I'm looking for:)

I'm having issues with my gallery atm so ill post pics later.

FYI I had to break ice to get out, about 2cm thick

Awesome day on the water, one 10lbs and one 39 lbs blue cat.

I'm getting them dialed in now.

Hi Jay
Good to hear from you again - glad you are able to relax a bit and get some fishing in. I'm sure you had a busy summer at the camp. Those are some incredible cats!! Must be quite a tussle.

Have a good break and someday we'll look you up at Nipissing.

Dude..31lb white cat?! You mean blue cat right? A 31lb white is over 3x the current record.
