Largemouth Bass

Santee Lakes Fishing Report

Santee Lakes Staff

Hello everyone! Today the spotlight is on Sandy for catching this solid 6lb bass the other day! The bass bite has been really consistent with plenty of action on all lakes. The best bait to use right now for bass are spinners, crankbaits, swimbaits, and a few reports of top water working also.

The catfish bite has been hot also! We last stocked lakes 3 and 6 on May 5th with catfish, 500 lbs. in each lake. Prior to that was the catfish opener where we stocked 2,500 lbs. split between lakes 2,3, and 4. The catfish have been biting the best off of stinkbait, shrimp, mackerel, or nightcrawlers!

With the fish biting this well make sure you get out here so you're not missing out on the action!

If you're feeling hungry while you're out here fishing stop on by Angry Pete's Pizza! Located next door to the general store they serve Pizza, sandwiches, burgers, sweets, and beer! We hope to see you out here!
