Bass Bite Has Been Exceptional

The bass bite has been exceptional over here at Santee Lakes. Early mornings and late evenings seem to be the best time to throw topwater baits such as frogs or wakes. Joaquin got this healthy bass out of Lake 3 on the Working Class Zero Citizen 6. Popular spots include the east shore of Lake 5 and the south side of Lake 3. The catfish bite has remained consistent with many reports of fish being caught on shrimp and meal worms. Popular spots include the southwest corner of Lake 3 and the west side of Lake 4. Our next scheduled stock will take place on Monday, July 13. Lakes 3 and 4 were most recently stocked on 6/25/20 with 500 pounds of catfish each.
