Thread: A few pics of Santee fishing trips taken over the summer

Ink,
congrats on some nice outings and quality fish !!! and Tim, you are spoiling the hell out grand boy !!!! he is going to be one heck of fisherman if he grows up loving it as much as his Grandpa for sure !!!! he is nice looking young man buddy !!!!

Thanks a lot fellows. Don't know if the boy will get the fishing bug like his Papa, but Papa sure enjoys the time we get to spend on the water now. I know all lakes are not created equal. Santee is one of the few lakes where you can still get away from the crowd, especially the pleasure boaters even on a Saturday. The stumps and trees just don't treat those big old wake makers too kindly. lol

Nice

You should PM that picture with the grand boy to Slab for consideration on the calendar. Good picture.

Ink, thanks for the report, but you forgot to add the numbers on those brush piles how are we ever going to find them

I do have some GPS coordinates, but most are just near some kind of structure which I use to get near the piles.

Looks like a good summer. when you put your new trees out do you put them on the old trees are move over a little.

It depends, if I feel most of the old brush is gone, or it just stops producing. I will place a new tree right on top of the old. Water depth also plays a part in this decision making process, the deeper the water, the higher off the bottom I want the brush. If I’m in the process of enlarging a brush, I will place the new tree near existing one.
