Blue Catfish

One for the books today! I had the pleasure of taking John and their crew out on Lake Moultrie for a half-day trip with 4G Guide Service. We set out in the early morning, hitting the water around sunrise. The weather couldn't have been better - clear conditions throughout the day made for perfect fishing conditions. Lake Moultrie was looking prime for some action as we left the dock at Bonneau Beach in Berkeley County.

With our gear rigged and ready, we focused on targeting Blue Catfish using a mix of techniques. We started with some bottom fishing, which is always a solid choice for cats in Lake Moultrie. As the day progressed, we switched things up, doing some trolling to cover more water and even tried our hand at casting. Mixing up our approach kept things interesting and gave us the best shot at finding where the fish were holding. While we didn't land any monsters this time out, the steady action kept us engaged throughout the trip. We wrapped up our day with smiles all around, enjoying the time on the water and the thrill of the chase.

If you're thinking about coming out to Lake Moultrie for some catfishing action, now's a great time to book a trip. The summer fishing has been solid, and there's plenty of opportunity to tangle with some nice Blue Catfish.

Today on Santee Cooper Lake, anglers enjoyed a fruitful day of fishing amidst calm waters and clear skies. The catfish bite was particularly strong, with many anglers landing impressive catches using cut bait and live bait near submerged structures. Largemouth bass were also active, responding well to topwater lures and soft plastics along the shoreline. Crappie action was steady, with anglers finding success around brush piles and bridge pilings using jigs and minnows. Overall, it was a rewarding day on the water, with anglers leaving with plenty of memories and fish for the frying pan.
