Went out friday for a little night catfishing with a few buddies up at Lake Moultrie, from the shore.. All of us were using various baits, from chicken livers, minnows, but cut bream seemed to be working the best. Pulled out a few small ones, between 2-10 lbs, 2 of my buddies had breakoffs, one from me and it felt very large. The picture was actually the first fish of the night, big flathead, caught around 2230, didnt get the length or weight and let it go. I estimated the weight to be around 50#, length about 4ft long, caught on light rod and reel, 12lb test mono. The only breakoff i had was a fish that felt stronger and heavier than this, im assuming a big blue. All in all a good night of fishin! Ill post pictures as soon as I can get on photobucket, can't log on at work.
Sorry for the blurry pictures, taken on a phone camera...

| Rediversion or diversion? Not much flow over in the Rediversion (st. stephen area) so not much going on in the canal, but perhaps some action could be found in the Santee River above and below its junction with the ReDiversion canal. As for the Diversion Canal, night fishing seems to be most popular right now. Folks seem to congregate on the most upstream end by Harry's and at the lower end by Black's. I have had luck fishing the drop off along the banks near the upper end and near breaks in the bank. The Rock Pile near Hill's should hold fish, but have never fished it this time of year. The canal is so easy to navigate at night, if they are not biting in one place, just keep moving until you find a spot. Fresh cut bait, live bait with sniped fins (so the bleed), or stink bait should produce. Good luck |

| Don't you dare let another flathead go or I am going to send a bass fisherman after you. |
