The bass bite has picked up with the recent warm weather. Guest are reporting fish being caught on chatterbaits and senkos. Popular spots include the southeast corner of Lake 2 and the west shore of Lake 3. This ten pound bass (pictured above) was caught out of Lake 6 on a senko. Remember, Lake 6 and 7 is for registered campers only so book your site today! The trout have been biting on nightcrawlers. Popular spots include the west shore of Lake 4 near the middle of the Lake and the south shore of Lake 3. Our final trout stock of the season will take place on Tuesday, March 9.

Recently at Santee Lakes we have noticed an increase in the amount of discarded fishing line scattered throughout the park. The picture above is what was collected over a span of two hours across four out of the seven lakes that many species call home. We can all do our part to be sure that the wildlife we enjoy around our lakes do not have to suffer from our carelessness. Fishing line is such a danger to wildlife, we should never discard it on the ground. If you see any left by others, please pick it up.
