Thanks guys, I don't get to fish Santee but around once maybe twice per year. So I have no idea of any of the areas you said . We are about 2 hours away, and I have always loved the Santee area, so we decided to get away for a weekend. The folks that want to come with us have never ventured to the lakes outside of NC, and want to just check it out. Maybe we can find a fish or two, I have never been a person to keep more fish than I can eat in a few days, or give to a couple family members. I just like being on the water and letting the rods bend a little. Maybe some more folks will try it this weekend and will chime in. Thanks for your input guys, and tight lines!
