Do a search on Inkdabber's posts and you will see what Stump Hunter is talking about.

My BIL was stationed at Shaw and he fished the upper Sparkleberry swamp almost every day after he retired. That might be a bit tight for your boat, but Packs Landing is close to Shaw and you can find all the water in the world to fish from there. The upper Santee is a beautiful flooded cypress swamp.

Was stationed at Shaw for 10yrs and fished just about every day. Wateree and Santee are great. You will only be minutes from Packs landing and can catch great bass,crappie,catfish and stripers, oh yeah and some big shellcrackers.

this is really great to know, based off what im have been told, iam thinking stripers may be what i go for first, but the crappies i think is going to require more experience and patience. Will need to get some rod holders installed also. Is there anyplace to store the boat for a month before i find a place or spi guess i can look into storage on base, i anticipate no more then a few weeks after arriving i will find a place then the boat will go in the garage.

Fill it with gas and leave the key in it and put it under my carport. Dont worry bout that Toyota , We can put it out in the weather. Granny may fuss , but I wont be there if you leave the key in the boat !

priorities, car or boat under the carport? I like your priorities. Filling the gas tank is enough to make a grown man cry before the prices fell. Was like filling the truck a second time.

The tank on the boat is pretty big, but was able to fish everyday for three weeks and used only half a tank as i use the electric for fishing, the big motor only gets used when moving from spot to spot. These were also on smaller lakes.
