Enjoyed a wonderful fishing experience with Charleston Fishing Charters, where everyone on board was thrilled with the catfish we caught, along with several other fish. It was a delightful day on the water!
This is one of the best months for Crappie fishing in South Carolina, because it's a great time to catch large schools of Redfish.
Tried her luck and test her skills. We caught catfish today in Lake Wateree. Armed with her bait and tackle, we set off in search of some fish and were not disappointed. After only an hour of fishing on Lake Wateree, she managed to catch large catfish! This impressive showing goes to show that even a first-time fisher can have success on the lake – if they know how and if they are with the right fishing guide. It was a great day fishing!

We reserved a 6-hour fishing excursion on Lake Wateree. Captain Michael was fully prepared and waiting for us upon arrival. He guided us across the lake, sharing extensive knowledge about the types of fish in the lake and the best rods/bait to use. Captain Michael was excellent in explaining everything and interacted wonderfully with my boys. We had a fantastic time, and my husband even reeled in a 26-pound Big Blue ?. We'll certainly be planning another trip with him :-)
