S & S Guide Service offers fun, affordable Santee Cooper fishing charters on Lake Marion and Lake Moultrie in South Carolina, led by USCG-approved Captain David Adams out of Eutawville. Captain David continues a family fishing tradition started by his father-in-law, Captain Spencer Edmonds, who guided these waters for more than 40 years before retiring.

Trips target Arkansas Blue, Channel, and Flathead Catfish, along with Crappie and Bream, fishing year-round aboard a 30-foot tri-toon with an enclosure that keeps guests comfortable through chilly mornings or unexpected downpours. All equipment is provided and kept up to date, and guests are welcome to bring their own gear if they prefer. Santee Cooper is world-renowned for producing monster catfish, giving anglers a real shot at a personal best or even a South Carolina state record.

Full-day guided trips run 8 hours, giving guests time to fill the cooler while enjoying the fellowship that keeps people coming back season after season. Kids under 15 fish free with a paying adult, making it an easy way to introduce young anglers to the sport. Guests 15 and older need a South Carolina fishing license, available for purchase at nearby Bell’s Marina and Resort or online through SCDNR ahead of time.

Rates run $400 for 2 people, $450 for 3, $500 for 4, $550 for 5, or $600 for 6, covering the whole group per trip.

For anglers looking to fish Lake Marion or Lake Moultrie for trophy catfish, crappie, or bream, S & S Guide Service offers an affordable, family-run charter with Captain David Adams continuing a multi-generation Santee Cooper fishing tradition.
