Congratulations to Braeden for catching this 15.12 pound largemouth bass (pictured above) out of Lake 3! Braeden now currently holds the Lake record for largemouth. The trout have been biting on nightcrawlers. Popular spots include the west side of Lake 2 under the bridge and the south shore of Lake 3. The bass have been biting on soft plastics such as senkos, ikas, and crawdad imitations. Popular spots include the east shore of Lake 5 and the west shore of Lake 4. Catfish opening weekend will take place on April 17 and 18.

Recently at Santee Lakes we have noticed an increase in the amount of discarded fishing line scattered throughout the park. The picture above is what was collected over a span of two hours across four out of the seven lakes that many species call home. We can all do our part to be sure that the wildlife we enjoy around our lakes do not have to suffer from our carelessness. Fishing line is such a danger to wildlife, we should never discard it on the ground. If you see any left by others, please pick it up.
