Largemouth Bass
If you're heading to Manning, South Carolina, for largemouth bass, you're likely targeting the legendary Santee Cooper lakes: Marion and Moultrie. These sprawling freshwater giants are renowned for producing trophy bass. Spring is prime time, as the bass move shallow to spawn, but the fall can also be fantastic as they fatten up for winter. Look for submerged timber, grass beds, and cypress trees – classic Santee Cooper structure. Local tip: pay attention to water levels. A rising lake can flood new cover, creating excellent fishing opportunities. The Diversion Canal which connects the two lakes, is also a popular spot. Check local regulations regarding slot limits, as Santee Cooper has specific rules in place to protect the fishery. These lakes are large and can be intimidating, so consider hiring a local guide for your first trip to shorten the learning curve.
