Good afternoon everyone! The first night fishing event was a success. Quite a few fish were caught and attendees had a blast. We have our second night fishing event on June 22nd. Make sure to be there tomorrow night so you don't miss out on all the fun! Get here a little early so you can stop by our store and get any refreshments or bait that you might need as well before the store closes at 5 pm. A quick reminder that night fishing begins at 5pm and goes until 11:30 pm. Bring a lantern, some friends, and make some memories! Popular baits for catfish are nightcrawlers, garlic nightcrawlers, stinkbait, shrimp, and mackerel. The bass bite has remained consistent as well. Anglers have been having success using swim baits, top water baits, and jerkbaits. We hope to see you out here!

Here at Santee Lakes, we deeply value our abundant wildlife and pristine landscape. We work very hard to take care of the animals that call this place home and on keeping this place clean and presentable so our park patrons also can fully enjoy the scenery and their time here. However, we are still fighting a never ending battle of litter. Pictured above is two hours worth of cleaning up the shorelines of just one lake. Whether its fishing line, food wrappers, plastic bottles, crumpled up receipts, etc. if you pack it in, you need to pack it out or throw it away. We have many garbage / fishing line receptacles throughout the park for you to dispose of any unwanted trash. It is imperative that we all make a better effort at leaving wherever you go in life cleaner than when you found it. Everyone, including the wildlife, will thank you.
