Water temperature is still cooling, now around 76°. Some nice largemouth bass being caught around gator grass. The crappie fishing on brush piles is amazing. All you need to do is put out some Wax Myrtle Bushes weighted down with concrete blocks, and know how to find them again. You will catch the most giant crappie out of Santee Cooper that you have ever seen in your life. T

Here is a great tournament on the Santee Cooper Lakes this weekend, the Carolina Crappie Association is hosting it. http://carolinacrappieassociation.webnode.com//

The bream are tearing it up in shallow water, as well as on brush piles. You can catch them on the edges of the canal right now, too.
