Jackson’s Catfishing Guide Service offers fully guided catfish and striper charters on the world-famous Santee Cooper Lakes, led by Captain Lee Jackson, who has fished these waters for more than 40 years — as his mom puts it, “ever since he was old enough to hold a fishing pole.” Lee is US Coast Guard certified to carry up to six people, along with CPR and First Aid certification, bringing a genuine, lifelong passion to every trip.
Trips run on both Lake Marion and Lake Moultrie, chasing the big catfish and stripers that many anglers only dream about, from a 24-foot pontoon complete with an enclosure, bathroom, and heat for comfort in any season. Every charter is backed by a rock-solid No Fish! No Pay! guarantee: if you don’t catch any catfish or stripers, you don’t pay. Both day and night trips are available, with fishing running twelve months a year since Santee Cooper’s lakes don’t freeze in winter.
Beyond the fishing itself, a day on the water with Captain Lee often means a cooler full of catfish, multiple bald eagle sightings, and the occasional 8-foot alligator spotted on the way back in — all part of what keeps him passionate about being out there, whether he’s catching bait or watching clients reel one in.
For anglers looking for a guaranteed, guide-backed catfish or striper fishing trip on the Santee Cooper Lakes, Jackson’s Catfishing Guide Service offers a well-reviewed, deeply experienced operation with Captain Lee Jackson.
