Southern Crappie Tournament Trail

Santee 2004

For most anglers, fishing Santee Cooper in December is a nightmare. After not finding any crappie, 33 teams still braved the 180,000 acres of Lake Marion and Lake Moultrie just to test their dedication to the sport. Coming out on top was the male/female team of Mike and Beverly Small from Camden SC. For days Mike would say how he had pre-fished and had not seen a crappie only to catch close to a hundred on tournament day. The team had an outstanding weight of 12.81 lbs. They were tight lining around the I-95 Bridge on the edge of the river. 

Taking second was also a male and female team from Eastover, SC. The team of Billy and Barbara Hill were tight lining way…way…way… up the upper part of the river to catch 26 slabs, 10 of them weighing 12.11 lbs. 

Also tight lining above the I-95 Bridge in the river was the Raleigh, NC area team of Freddie Sinclair and Eddie Clifton.  The two of them also had a ten fish limit of 8.79 lbs.
