    Aquatic vegetation on Santee Cooper???

    As the title states, where would I find weed beds on Santee? I live on Hartwell and would like to take my friend out on Santee and I always heard there was good weed fishing. He lives close to the Waccamaw river.
    Thanks

    The question is where won't you find weeds on Santee. The DNR has done a ton of spraying, mostly to try and keep the hyacinth and giant salvinia under control. Last year was really bad for giant salvinia, large mats of it. Not as bad this year but still there. Packs, Jacks Creek, areas near John C all have weeds. Rocks Pond area too.

    Santee Cooper does most of their spraying this time of the year.You can hear the air boats for miles,so go in another direction.

    Haven’t been to Santee since April. Has hydrilla come back anywhere, or is it still nuked?

    I see the airboat spraying Cut grass around the lake. I think they are concentrating on it and the Giant Salvania.

    The Eel grass is doing well. It's everywhere in the shallow water

    My trip is now going to get us there April or May. Will those same areas have weed growth that time of year??

    "Packs, Jacks Creek, areas near John C all have weeds. Rocks Pond area too."???????

    How about the offshore fishing I've been told about? Give me some insight on that please?

    Thanks ya'll

    If anyone sees this thread & you know where hydrilla is located,don’t post it on here.If you want to share info with someone,do it by PM.Santee Cooper has there own crew for spraying just these two lakes & if there is to much growth they contract outsiders to help & they will kill any if they find it.
