Well at least you are still here. I fish year round most at Wateree and Monticello.

Originally posted by: SCstephen on 5/6/2005 12:32:50 PM

I wish i was fishing year round. During the winter though when schools in its just so hard for me to go to our farm to fish.

Originally posted by: riverrat-sc on 5/28/2005 1:03:52 PM

I'm still looking for SC guy's left on here. I'll be hitting Monticello next weekend for some kitty fishing.

This is the perchjerker from Manning, SC. I live up near the Lake Marion Dam. (Santee Cooper). I don't fish as much as I like. Just went out today and caught a nice bunch of Bream up in Wyboo Creek.

Later, Jim

Well howdy perchjerker. I like the name works well for Santee too. I use white perch for catfish bait when I fish Marion. Although I catch as many Gar as I do Cats.

Welcome perchjerker good to see another SColinian here

Welcome to the gang Demetrius.

Saluda, Broad and Congree rivers are all good usually. Lakes Murray and Monticello both are closer than Charleston.

Originally posted by: Demetrius on 6/22/2005 9:10:18 AM

Thats good to know. I am also looking for a buddy to go with sometime. I have a jon boat in charleston that i am trying to get repaired and ready for the water soon. Know anyone with boat repair knowledge?

Originally posted by: riverrat-sc on 6/22/2005 10:06:39 AM

Nope sorry. I need my motor looked at myself. I'm in the upstate but I fish all the way down to Beaufort. Hope you can find somebody close by to fish with.

Originally posted by: SCstephen on 6/23/2005 10:35:09 AM

Welcome, I live in columbia as well. The best place round here i know of to fish is Murray, of course i dont get out to fish much so im not real sure of other places round here and Ive only fished murray once. my family owns a small farm with a pond right across highway 378 from murray so thats where i fish all the time. Dont know anything or anyone with boat repair knowledge though, sorry!

Whats going on riverrat...I'm still here and enjoying the fishing. I've been doing a lot of inshore down around Chucktown and Macville...been doing pretty well. I've been fishing the rivers mostly, stripers and catfish..you know. Hope ya'll are doing well.

Originally posted by: riverrat-sc on 8/24/2005 8:43:31 PM

I'm get by but just barely. You know what they say when it rains it pours. I'm done fishing for a while because my big motor died (I think its the power pack) and I went fishing Saturday and lost the prop off my trolling motor.

I am glad to see some of us are still here though.

Originally posted by: Kijak on 8/25/2005 12:49:16 PM

Sorry to hear about the boat problems bo. I'm gonna be on here alot more often so I'll keep ya posted on the fishing. Hopefully we can get more of these Carolina boys and gals on here.

Originally posted by: riverrat-sc on 9/4/2005 1:24:17 PM

It will be next year most likely before I try fishing seriously. I've had such a rough time as of late with this and that. On Sept 3 I passed my 38th kidney stone so I just not up for much. Good luck to those who are able to go.

Originally posted by: Catfishjunkie on 10/7/2005 9:13:32 AM

I am not from SC, but I spend a great deal of time up there each year. I have some good friends who live in Gaston and one who is the one I can blame for getting me into fishing <!--graemlin::D-->

But usually when I do go up there we usually fish either in Santee or that river that runs through Columbia (i forget the name)

But I plan on moving up there once I get out of the AF.

Originally posted by: riverrat-sc on 10/7/2005 11:07:16 AM

Saluda and Broad river flow into Columbia and Conagree flows out.

Glad to have with us either way Catfish.

Originally posted by: Catfishjunkie on 10/7/2005 1:47:50 PM

Thanks riverrat, I think it was the Conagree, thst sounds right...but then I am terrible with names <!--graemlin::D-->

Good to see you're still here SCstephen.

I've been fishing my days off but haven't had much luck yet. My next trip will be to Wateree because I usually catch fish there.

Originally posted by: SCstephen on 12/15/2005 12:16:31 PM

Good luck at Wateree.
Most likely, I'm done fishing till spring. I usually dont fish during winter. I would if I could, but I dont have a car to drive to the pond yet so I'm stuck to spring, summer, fall fishing for now. But ill be getting all my rods re-lined for spring though. Its about time to change the line on em.

Howdy. Don't know about hunting but there are a few places to fish. Lake Johnson, Lake Bowen and Lake Craig have bank fishing.

Welcome Fisherman.

Glad to see you're still with us SC.

I can't wait to go fishing but it will be a little while before I'll be able to go. I've been sick this week so I have to get very well before I can try so that I don't have a relapse.

Originally posted by: Joel C on 3/19/2006 7:41:01 AM

Howdy all, Just moved here from Mississippi. Looking forward to fishing around here. I have been reading about Santee Cooper for years.

It was nice at one time scfishing, it has really gotten worse over the last couple years. As soon as we figure out what college my daughter is going to attend next year we are going to move from Ohio. My wife wants to move to Maine so we may be looking that way. We'll see what happens in a year or so. Ya'll have a good one.
