We fish the shallow flats of Lake Marion on Santee Cooper lake system in South Carolina. We like to target the big blues right at daylight when they are still feeding in 3 to 5 feet of water. There is a lot of grass in the water and the blues are seeking anything along these edges. We usually anchor the front and back of the boat and cast 12 rods all around the boat. We normally cast 30 yards or so, sit and wait on them to hammer down. We start this fishing the beginning of the year and it gets really good about mid March.

So another slow night. Hit every where. Only one small channel. The area we are fishing is chalk full of Asian carp. Could that be a problem? Thanks for any info you have. Later

So I have been fishing the Meremac river in stl. Very flat river not very many sharp drop offs. Few deep holes. Caught 3 10 lbs a few weeks ago. How ever it’s been slow since that weekend. Using skip jacks mainly. Very slow. Maybe it’s this time of year? Any suggestions? Have structure scan so what should I look for? On a good note. I am heading out with Ryan Casey from Showmecatfishing guides drifting for big blues in a couple of weeks. Pretty excited. He catches some like you do. Good video on utube from a couple weeks ago. This website is awesome. I am sure my luck should change soon after listening to your tips. Thanks for any suggestions. Have a good one.

Depending on how far I want to travel on a night, answers do change…. as always.

I was most surprised with Habitat and Water Depth. But I guess if your mainly channel cat fishing, it makes cents.

thanks a alot. and yeah we have been having record highs here. the weather has been over 100 degrees a couple of days in a row! so when it is that hot should i just not even try to fish that day because i would be wasting my time or what? because just about 2 nights ago it was 11:30 pm and it was 86 degrees outside. so what should i do?

hot weather may be the problem, if your ponds only 5-6 ft deep, the weather will effect them more!

good luck
