Freshwater fun on the North Santee

Sundee Afa'noon is a great time to go freshwater fishin' in the Lowcountry Outdoors and the North Santee River offers easy boat access to good fishing grounds. Stopping in at the Seewee Outpost for worms, crickets, sandwiches and supplies for an evening on the water, John Archambault and I set out to catch some panfish and maybe a catfish. The weather was hot, but the sunfish were biting and the time passed quickly until it was time to set out some catfish baits at dark. When darkness settled in two rod-bending strikes resulted in two snags in the sunken timber, which is a trait of the North Santee, and no catfish were landed.
