Seasonal Activity Chart
Striped Bass
Greeleyville is a gateway to some of South Carolina's best striped bass fishing in the Santee Cooper lakes. While the lakes hold stripers, the best action often occurs during their spring spawning run up the rivers that feed the lakes. The Congaree and Wateree Rivers are prime locations. Trolling live herring or shad is a popular and effective technique. Early spring, as the water warms, is the peak season. A key piece of local knowledge: pay attention to water levels and flow rates, as stripers tend to congregate in areas with current breaks and eddies. Public boat ramps along the rivers provide access. Be aware that the Santee Cooper system has specific regulations regarding striped bass, including size and creel limits, so consult the SCDNR website before you go. Landlocked striped bass in Santee Cooper can reach substantial sizes.
