Trip Planning  
​Where Do We Fish? I fish the Santee Cooper Lakes (Lake Marion, and Lake Moultrie) in South Carolina. With custom trips into Lake Wateree, Lake Wylie, the Wateree River, and Congaree River. I have fished these waters my whole life.These waters are large in size taking experience and talent to navigate safely. These lakes are constantly changing because of weather and moving waters. I spend a vast time on these waters keeping up with the fish movement, and structure changes.  

What About The Details? Conditions are always changing, so we custom design your trip to bring you the best outdoor experience. Once reservations are made and your binder has been received, Captain Darryl will provide information. The checklist contains the following information:
* Where to meet and what time
* Area Lodging and Restaurants
* Area Entertainment
* Fishing or hunting license requirements
* What you may need to bring
* Any additional seasonal items

What Do You Need To Bring? 
​* Everyone 16 years old and older will have to have a SC fishing license. $10.00 US dollars for SC Residents License, and $11.00 US dollars for a 7-day permit for NON-Residents of SC
* Rain suit or poncho
* Cold weather clothes during winter or cool seasons.
* Hat, sunglasses, and sunblock (please do not bring continuous spray sunblocks. The wind blows it all over the boat and into my bait tank contaminating the bait) Fish will not bite bait that smells like a coconut!
* Bring whatever food or drink you wish to have in a day's time in a cooler for your convenience. 
(ASK ABOUT OUR ALCOHOL POLICY)
​
​* If you choose to keep fish: most days I work out a marina where my fish cleaners are, so you will need a big enough cooler to take your cleaned fish home in. If we go to some different marina you may need some way to transport your fish to a cleaner. If so, I recommend if you do not have a 150 quart cooler to get a simple plastic storage container from a Dollar General or some where cheap to carry fish in.If you want to use your own equipment, please let me know! Big fish demand tuff equipment! 

What Will Darryl Bring?
Catfishing: I will supply boat, boating equipment, safety equipment, rods, reels, bait, tackle, and a cooler on the boat for your fish if you choose to take fish home.
Fishing cleaning. There are fish cleaning service available but are not part of my company. These are at and extra price between you and cleaners.
