Fishing Reports

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? Jeanie has gone many times, and lots of those experiences were disappointing because she didn't catch a single fish! However, everyone that has come to PowderKegg has caught fish! More Experienced Fishers that choose Catch & Keep fishing at PowderKegg catch almost the limits from banks and piers! (we really don't know how many Catch & Release fish they catch!) [Just a Note: Owners Andrew & Jeanie will often fish for just 5 bream to give them a nice evening supper. It doesn't take too many fish to do that!]

Calling all 'Experienced' Rockfishers - There are lots of BIG stripers/rockfish in each pond that need to come out! We require that you get your picture made with your catch to put on our website.

8:15 am to 11:15 am Using a cricket, Charles Owens, Sr caught this nearly 8 lb Striper (is what Andrew says...we're pulling out the scales from this day forward). The rest of the fishing party contributed to the total of 39 bream and 2 bass. [I heard talk of using 'beetle spins' when they were going out.]

6am to 8am, 1 bream, 5 bass... but look at the size of one bass! Edward Woodward of Columbia used a Weedless Frog lure to catch this one. The lure goes easily over the lily pads! He said you may email him at emwoodward@mail.com
