What
we provide
You will be fishing out of a Triton TR21 eXecutive with a 250 Mercury Pro XS. We will take care of providing
the fuel and tackle - rods, reels (spinning and baitcasters)
and artificial baits. If you would prefer to use your own
equipment and favorite baits, bring them! There is also
a Digital camera on board to take snap shots of your catch.
What you should bring
Soft drinks, bottled water, and any snacks or food that you would like
to have during the day. We will have ice on board to keep everything
cool. Don't forget to bring appropriate clothing, especially
if you are sensitive to the sun. Long sleeve shirts,
pants, and closed shoes (sandals are not a good idea if your
feet are not already tanned (burned feet can be excruciatingly
painful). Comfortable shoes, polarized sunglasses and a hat
are all highly recommended. We do have sunscreen on board,
but if you need higher protection,
make sure you bring that also.
Fishing License: You will need a South Carolina fishing
license. You can buy your license online now from the South
Carolina Department of Natural Resources website.

Our club tourney(19 fisherman on this trip) was held on Santee
Cooper out of Harry's Fish Camp Sat. Feb.27th, we fished from
7am-4pm. It was a very tough day on the lake as many people
found out the hard way. I (Barret) knew it would be a tough
day on the lake because of unstable weather and a lot of fresh
(muddy) water on both the upper and lower lake. About 8 or
so of our guys even went down to the lake Friday to practice
for the tournament and they all zeroed from what I was told,
I and my dad didn't have the chance to practice because I am
currently still in college, but I had a Secret Weapon.....Glenn
Baxley who is a local guide on Santee, I contacted him over
the phone and he provided a back water pond that had all the
right ingredients for pre-spawn fishing, it had dark water,
deep water (6-8ft) in some spots, cover, and most importantly
bass, if you could get them to bite. Glenn had suggested to
me that we should stay in there the whole day and just work
it really good and to capitalize on every bite that we got.
Even though I have never met or talked with Glenn before I
decided to take a gamble and follow his advice. First thing
that morning I boated a nice 2.5 lb bass on a rattle trap the
color of the trap was actually one that Glenn suggested for
me to fish, I thought I might have been on a trap bite, but
I was fooled I fished that area for about another hour or two
with my rattle trap and all I got was a 8in jack and a SORE
arm the next day from ripping it through pads and grass. We
went with out another bite until about 2pm when I finally boated
a small keeper on a drop shot rig (believe it or not) and with
in the next hour I boated another two keepers and my dad boated
one from a stretch of bank about 10 yards long i caught a fifth
bass but he was too small to keep :( and around 3pm or so another
one of our guys came into the same pond and he boated a nice
3.5 lb bass right from where I had caught my first keeper that
morning. Glenn had informed that this pond was a community
hole and we had about 5 boats come through the pond during
the day, but none of them besides us and our other angler boated
any keepers that I could see. I figured that I would hopefully
finish in the money with my four keepers, but believe it or
not at the weigh in every body else had ZEROED for the day
except for me, my dad, and the other angler!!!!! My four fish
weighed in around a measly 7lbs (1st place) 2nd place and big
fish went to the other angler with one fish around 3.5lbs and
my dad finished 3rd with one keeper at 1.43lbs!!!! So if you
ask me the result of me and my dad's tournament out come was
due in large part to the help of Glenn Baxley!!!! I would strongly
recommend him as a guide to any body who is unfamiliar with
Santee Cooper, his web site is www.santeebassin.com his phone
number is (843)-753-3269. This has proven to me that if Glenn
can give me advice over the phone and ultimately put me on
the right fish to win a tournament with that he is surely worth
every penny of your money as a guide, because as soon as I
finish up college and get some money together I will definitely
be booking a trip with him.
God bless you Glenn and all how
post helps and tips on here.

Thanks so much for the great day on Santee Cooper! My son
Jeremy who lives in Columbia and I wanted to learn more
about Lake Marion and Lake Moultrie. I
feel you did and excellent job of helping us learn more about the lakes and
putting us onto fish. I have used guides on Lake Erie and don't think any
of them worked as hard to prepare for our trip and to teach
us about the lake
and how to fish it. I know you even pre-fished the day before we came to
know how to help us enjoy our day. I was impressed that
you even called one of your
former clients that you knew was on the lake to help him find fish. I am
hopeful that I can get back down to fish Lake Marion and
Moultrie and if I do I would
feel confident that I could call you for information. It was a very enjoyable
trip and one I will remember for a long time. Thanks again and good fishing.

To Glenn my Guide. If anyone is looking for a guide on Santee,
You will come highly recommend as one of the most professional
Guides I have every been on the water with. Glenn met me the
morning we went out for coffee first, then on to discussing
the lake. He presented me with a folder he had prepared for
me with a copy of the Lake Numbers, his card and what really
impressed
me was the Aerial Map of the Lake. It was such a valued tool
for me!! Any one fishing Santee Cooper Lakes knows it is a
dangerous lake to run.
Thank You ,

Thank you for all the info and tips you gave us last Sunday.
As a result of your guidance, we had a good trip. We did real
good on Wednesday fishing Cypress trees with Senkos. We caught
8 bass, smallest being @2# and the largest around 3-1/2#. A
lot of the fish were caught along the trees in the channel
above your house. Wish we could have hit the trees Wednesday
out by Chimney Island but I needed to keep my father in sheltered
areas. Thanks again and if I hear of anyone looking for a Professional
Guide down there, I will highly recommend they contact you.
