Headed to Santee Cooper Memorial Day wknd

Gonna be lvn out Fri and coming back on memorial day mon.Just wondered if y all might have any idea what the crappie and kitty's will be doing arnd this time.This will be my first trip taking a boat down here and only 3rd time on lake.I know it gets rough and there are a lot of hazards.We were gonna try and stay at blacks but all there mobile homes were taken so were staying at harrys.Also if any knows where I can get some ethanol free gas close by harrys I would greatly appreciate it.If any of y all are gonna be down there give us a holler we have a radio but I don't know what channels they run down there.Thanks for any help.

I will be in the upper lake next week. We fish above the I95 bridge so I don't know much about the area you are in. The shellcrackers were hot last week, but they dropped the lake about 2 feet so it may have moved them to deeper water. Crappie are probably in the brush. Bream should be bedding by the time you get there. The folks at Harrys should be able to point you in the right direction.

good luck & be safe :cheers2

We are supposed to be down there too at the same time. Leaving Sunday after church and coming home Wednesday before church. LOL Staying at Harry's as well. We run channel 68 on the radio. We fish mostly at night and around the canal.

Well we got down Fri and let me tell u I think this was the worst fishing trip I think I have ever made.we got up sat morning and tried for some brim and white perch for cut bait thgt that wld be easy buy they were hard to come by.finally got enough for our cple days down there and only caught one kitty in the two days we fished and never caught the first crappie.talked to others at the camp and pretty much all others had the same luck unless they were running trot lines.only seen one crappie at cleaning station and he was a guide jigging while cat fishing.I will go bk but I believe next time with a guide and hope for better luck.didn't get to mikefish down there I hope there luck was better than ours.

Now I know why your report was a little slow coming. The Santee Lakes are large and tough to fish.

Not much of one, but report made.
