Santee Lakes Fishing Report

Santee Lakes Staff

Good afternoon everyone! In honor of the last night fishing event of the summer last week here is Daniel with a nice bass he got that night with a wooden frog! There has been action on all the lakes, however, lake 5 still seems to be producing the best results for bass. The best bait to use right now for bass are spinners, crankbaits, and swimbaits. Top water has seen a lot of success in the evening also! 

We just stocked Lakes 3 and 4 with 500 lbs. of catfish each this last Friday. Our next stock will be on September 1st. Catfish have been biting well. The best baits to be using are stinkbait, shrimp, mackerel, cut up hot dogs, and night crawlers! Our next big catfish event coming up is Stockzilla. It will be the last catfish stock of the season and all 7 lakes will be stocked with a total of 3,500 lbs. split up amongst them! This is definitely an event you won't want to miss out on so book your campsite in advance and clear the calendar!

 

If you have any kids that want to learn how to fish the bluegill are biting right now and they're the perfect fish to try and catch when showing them the ropes. Wax worms work really well or other tiny sized baits.

Plenty of action and fun events coming up so make sure to come on out!

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!
