Bluestone Creek was hot last year giving up multiple 3 lb fish. Caught my personal best 3.5 lb there last year. Help you anyway I can. FB

Been reading with interest the comments about Buggs. I have never been fished the lake but have thought about trying. Is there anyone familiar with both Buggs and the Santee lake Marian that can compare the two, in other words does Buggs have the flooded timber, cypress trees, grass, pads, stump flats, black water ponds etc. that santee has or is it more similiar to High Rock, Norman or Jordan. Would like to see detailed comments about the characteristics of the lake and the tecniques most popular for fishing it, Thanks!!! (also does NC and Viginia have a reciprical fishing license agreement)
