The Carolinas are blessed with rich natural beauty and great fishing for a lot of really big fish. Our terrain ranges from mountains towering over 6000 feet to pristine beaches on the coastline. If you like the outdoors; here, you'll be in heaven!

We fish Lake Marion, Lake Moultrie, Congaree River, Wateree River, and the Santee River here in South Carolina. These waters Are better known as the Santee Cooper Lakes! Known world-wide for their large and hard fighting fish. Here we fish for Stripers, and Big Catfish . As the fish migrate upstream in the spring, we fallow them fishing the upper end of Lake Marion and the rivers.  Here is where we have broken 17 World Records with 6 of them still pending. Nine or our records are with kids under the ages of 16 with most under the age of 10 years old.

Here on the waters of the Santee Cooper Lakes we offer Trophy fishing trips as well as family trip and fun for all ages. We catch big fish throughout the year. Offering monster catfish from January-December with a 100 POUNDS OF CATFISH A DAY GUARANTEE. Also from September until January we offer a half-day of catfishing combined with  a half-day of Bream fishing. On these trips we catch an average of 15 catfish with some days over 250 bream as well. These are great family trips.

At Santee Cooper Lakes our fish are highly abundant because of our weather. Our waters do not freeze in the winter. This means that our fish stay active through out the year. In 2003 we boated over 43, 250+ lbs. In 2004 we boated over 42,580+ lbs. So far in 2005 we have boated over 39,750+ lbs. To catch fish like this it takes year round fishing.

I’ve been blessed in my adventures. I helped get 17 world record fish in my boat, plus a lot of exceptionally big fish. Blue catfish 100.5 lbs, Flathead Catfish 90 lbs, crappie 3 lbs 8 oz, largemouth bass 12 lbs 6 oz, striper 29 lbs 7 oz, and bluegill 4 lb 75 oz.

These guide services I offer to anyone who wants to fish. This guide won’t promise the biggest fish in the world, but I'll try my best to get you jerked out of the boat by a big fish! I will use my 36 years fishing experience to try and get you what you want.

My fishing is with conventional tackle. For Big Catfish it takes heavy equipment. With my guide services I provide boat, boating equipment, rods, reels, tackle, and bait. I will have a cooler on the boat for your fish. All you need is a SC Fishing License, and what ever you wish to eat and drink.
