The Santee Cooper lakes, easily accessible from Reevesville, South Carolina, are renowned for their striped bass fishery. These landlocked stripers offer anglers a unique freshwater experience. Spring and fall are peak seasons, with the fish moving into shallower water to feed and spawn. Trolling deep-diving crankbaits or live bait rigs is a popular and effective method. The Diversion Canal connecting Lake Marion and Lake Moultrie is a known hotspot. Be aware of regulations regarding size and possession limits, which are strictly enforced. A local tip: Pay attention to the wind. Stripers often congregate on windward shorelines where baitfish are concentrated. Also, be prepared for a battle – these fish can get big! The Santee Cooper striped bass fishery is carefully managed to ensure sustainability, so practicing responsible fishing is crucial.
