So some of you very generously gave me some pretty good advice when we went to Santee with Kayaks back in June. We stayed a Poplar Creek Landing and targeted bluegill/shellcrackers. We had sort of light luck at Poplar creek but caught a fair amount in Stumphole, along with a few catfish on the side, not targeting them though.

We're going back the first weekend in October and would like to get into some more Bream but also want to find some catfish. This time we're taking my Gheenoe and staying at Stumphole landing. We hope to find bream back in Stumphole again, but figure unlike in early June, they'd be more scattered but I don't know. We'd also like to spend some time targeting catfish specifically.

So does poking around back in the Stumphole looking for bream with crickets & worms seem reasonable? Or would a different plan offer more chance at success? At what depth can we expect to find them?
Also, where's the best type area to look for to drop some cut bait on the bottom for catfish? Anywhere? Or is there something specific we should look for?
I'm just looking for any helpful general information and advice, certainly not your honey hole. Also not looking to fill the freezer but would like to bring home a few fillets.

I'd love to find some crappie but I suspect that would require finding some deeper brush piles and that's looking for a needle in a haystack without some local knowledge of brush piles. We won't be there but two full days and don't want to blow time blindly searching and can't catch everything anyway, lol.

Thanks for any info someone's willing to offer!
