Note: Compare your Wateree, Santee, Murray lake experiences to the PowderKegg experience. Now, how many fish did you actually catch at the lakes? How long were you out there? Did you use a boat (and all the expenses involved...gas, travel trailer, locating unloading dock, etc.)? Jeanie has gone many times to those locations, and lots of those experiences were disappointing because she didn't catch a single fish! Yet, she enjoys catching fish every time she fishes at PowderKegg!
Calling all 'Experienced' Rockfishers - There are lots of HUGE stripers/rockfish in each pond that need to come out! Andrew suggests that you use 50 lb test spiderwire lines! And bring a net & friend to pull them in!!!
These two bass were caught in just 30 minutes!!! We require that you get your picture made with your catch to put on our website.'
