Santee Lakes Fishing Report

2-12-2022
Santee Lakes Staff

Hello from beautiful Santee Lakes! Good news, we just stocked Lake 2 and Lake 3 yesterday and we already have reports of some nice sized trout being caught. If you're going for trout, you can't go wrong with powerbait. Garlic, chartreuse, and rainbow powerbait are consistently the most popular bait being used for trout. A kastmaster, rooster tail, or soft plastic rat tails also work pretty well if you are desiring a more proactive approach when fishing if letting your line sit there isn't your style. If you're aiming for bass, then your best bet is going to be a jerk bait, crank bait, jigs, and senkos. The bass are going to be deeper in the water due to the cold water temperature. The south ends of the lakes will yield the highest chance of getting a bass since that is the deepest point of our lakes. Good luck and we hope to see you out here!

Save Our Lakes

Here at Santee Lakes, we deeply value our abundant wildlife and pristine landscape. We work very hard to take care of the animals that call this place home and on keeping this place clean and presentable so our park patrons also can fully enjoy the scenery and their time here. However, we are still fighting a never ending battle of litter. Pictured above is two hours worth of cleaning up the shorelines of just one lake. Whether its fishing line, food wrappers, plastic bottles, crumpled up receipts, etc. if you pack it in, you need to pack it out or throw it away. We have many garbage / fishing line receptacles throughout the park for you to dispose of any unwanted trash. It is imperative that we all make a better effort at leaving wherever you go in life cleaner than when you found it. Everyone, including the wildlife, will thank you.
