True Fishing Humor

A lady from South Jersey on Capt. Boudreaux's boat this April was fighting a good fish for a while when it came off. She then continued to reel the line in. When Boudreaux pointed at a snail on the point of the hook (the reason the fish was lost) she sighed and said to him "I can't believe a snail pulled that hard".

fisherman.gifCheck out our 2008 Reel Results for photos of each fishing trip. We hide nothing your see the good days and the not so good days. If you see a blank board the customer paid nothing.  As Capt. Barb said one day "We're guides not God, and it ain't over to the fat lady sings , and see ain' t singing". We cannot forcast what the weather or the water conditions will be when you book . We can only rely on our experience and we will do our best to put you on Fish even on the worst of conditions! Remember there are Fisherman and then theres pole holders! We can only put you on the fish. The customer must bring them to the landing net.

  We have had a rise of over 7 1/2'  feet since the Jan. 1st. and still rising.  

How high is the water Mama

Click here for the current USGS Lake Level report

Surface Water temp. last party was 75.5 degrees up from 73 degrees

Crappie- Poor, the worst I've seen ever on lake Marion.  Don't know if it's all of the fresh water or if the Commarants have eatten all of our fish, but our last Crappie party, we fished 17 brush piles and caught 5 Crappie in 8 hours.

Catfish- Outstanding as spring approaches! Look for warm water over 60 and go to the windy banks in 1 to 5 feet of water! Drift for them in 18 to 20 ft. after the wind lays down.

New Blue Cat Law signed by the Gov. for the Santee Cooper Lakes. 1 Blue cat per person per day over 36" long. This covers Commercial and Rec. Fisherman! Catch all you can under 36".

Rockfish- Slow, Slow, Some good fish being caught in the deeper parts of Lake Moultrie.  The DNR has finally started to stock Marion. Watch for new Regulations sometime. ( New Regs. have passed the House of Rep. and now has gone to the SC Senate.)

Bream and Shellcracker-  Poor for this time of year. Maybe as the water settles down and stops rising things will change.
