Any info?

I have several times. Large shallow lake that gets very rough with wind. Bass, White Perch, Crappie, and Bream. Watch the alligaters.

Sea Dancer is spot on about the wind. There's 2 places t put in at, Dupree Landing or the State Park. State Park is where I'd recommend, and this will dump you into Big Creek. It's probably the deepest part of the lake and surrounding creeks/canals. Once you get out into the lake brush pile fishing is your best bet, if you can find any. This lake is the hardest to fish for people that don't have much knowledge of it, and the easiest to fish for those who do,unless you fish for white perch ( there's some big ones in there).

It has some of the biggest crappie and shellcrackers in it around, but they're hard to locate. There's a good many brush piles around the piers and open water closer to Dupree Landing. If you're seriously considering going, wait until it cools down. The skiers and tubers will blow you off this lake.

We use to fish it for white perch, I have seen good crappie come from Lake Waccamaw, but I have never caught one. Seen a nice 8lb bass that a fellow caught one day trolling a beetle spin. Best bet is to go during the week when the weather man says 0mph wind. it only takes a little bit on that lake to make it white cap. We always had to leave around lunch time.
