MY friend is moving to SC in November. He is feet away from lake marion. Any ideas on how a couple of yankees could catch some monster largemouth would be appreciated

There is a member here that guides there. I can't recall his handle right now but I bet somebody knows. I'd hire him, that lake is no fun to run.
Inky.!!
Thanks, yep Inky Davis and he goes by santee bass here on BBC.Originally Posted by clayshooter
The guy that just won the open is a guide there
The first thing I would do is learn where you can run and where you cannot. Usually, year-round you can find fish shallow just about anywhere.
No the first thing he should do is check to make sure is insurance is up to date and will cover a new lower unit.

Very open question. Depends upon what time of year. Right now you have fish in pre-spawn, spawn, and post spawn. Santee is all about being in the right place at the right time. You can fish the same cypress trees twice and not get a bite. Come back a third time later in the day and you catch them on every tree. I just fished there Friday and Saturday. Friday was amazing with my best 5 at 28 pounds anchored by a 10.1 lb bass. Saturday caught a lot less fish and size was smaller with biggest only 3.9

Throw a drop shot or weightless Senko around trees all day.
THIS^^^. Santee is the most treacherous lake to run that I have ever fished, especially Lake Marion. Marion has stumps, deadheads, and timber broken off just below the surface. Moultrie has lots of stumps, as well as shallow humps out in the middle of nowhere, and if the water is down, a couple very old brick locks that were part of a system that carried cotton on small barges from plantations out to the river come into play.
"The man of system is apt to be very wise in his own conceit; and is often so enamored with the supposed beauty of his own ideal plan of government that he cannot suffer the smallest deviation from any part of it…He seems to imagine that he can arrange the different members of a great society with as much ease as the hand arranges the different pieces upon a chessboard.” Adam Smith, The Theory of Moral Sentiments
