Interesting road trip for the fishing video. I hope that you do more fishing videos like this one. SC fishing was not expected, thank you Catfish Dave, from Alberta Canada.
I so much admire what you’re costs are to go fishing and you endure so much for one fish. Most guys would want assurances that they will load the boat but you appreciate catfish and your devoted. I love it. I think it’s awesome and your a true sportsman.
I love the road trip with Catfish Dave videos. Comes with all the good travel content and a inside look at the five star establishments a cat-fisherman gets to stay in. Great show Dave!👍🏼
@Deeper Frequencies If you ever get the chance to fish the lakes at Santee you'll love it. We're from Greenville and we do a 3 day trip every year in June.
Hey Dave I dont do alot of catfishing but im very interested in it. I found you on you tube about 6 months ago and i really enjoy your vids. I sat and watch i do believe every video you have uploaded. I seen you had posted a video and i got so excited. Keep up the awesome content man. Catfish dave the catfish hero!! 😃
Great video Dave. When I fished there a couple years ago I could always find white perch if i could find a mussel bed to fish. I was also fishing the upper lake.
The best one the best!!!!!!!! dave, YOU ARE, THE AMERICAN CATFISHERMAN!!!!! I REALLY ENJOYED INCLUDING THE MUSIC, HOPE YOU CAN KEEP DOING THESE.. YOU'RE LIVING MY DREAM MAN!!
Welcome to SC. I didn't do an exhaustive search of the regs by any means, but what I saw, while definitely vague, seems to refer to live bait and not cut bait. However, if trying to match the hatch, American Shad would proudly be the bait of choice right now. Along with Blueback Herring, they are running in the Rediversion Canal right now and are a blast to catch.
I live in Lexington SC. The first time I went to Santee, I couldn't believe the number of people! Between hotels, fish camps, and campgrounds, there's got to be at least 100 places to stay and everything was booked! We finally talked a hotel into renting us a room that had no beds or any other furniture in it. We made pallets and slept on the floor! Thank goodness the AC worked! 4th of July weekend, 104° between 3 of us, we caught 2 blues about 15lbs each. Saw a bunch of gators too! Last time I went, we chartered a boat with a well known fishing guide and we caught 1 damn fish!
I lived on Santee Cooper for five years before moving back to Indiana. The only place maga cats were being caught was in the canal between Cooper and lake Moultrie. The Out of state fishermen would load all the coolers up with as many catfish as they could pack out. It has hurt Cooper from all the fish taken. Sad.... You are correct about being on that lake when a storm rolls in. A many fishermen have darn near lost their boats from the waves. Cooper is like a dangerous soup bowl in a storm....lol.
Our great DNR has placed limits on blue cats now..you can only keep 25 per day and 2 over 32 inches per day. That should save the fisheries../sarcasm..terrible DNR in this state
I'm sure glad you didn't run into one of those dagblasted gators! You def need to go back down there & catch a Santee Cooper monster blue, because you never know until you throw!🎣🎣🎣
When you said "Im up in the sky now" i go through there twice a week leaving Cherokee NC to my hometown in Rockingham NC... That's a beautiful view though you have to look through trees!
Just got back from staying at Black’s Camp for three nights. There was four of us in two boats. We fished nothing but the canal. Caught a total of 26 fish using dead herring and night crawlers. Biggest one was a 36.5 inch and 19.3 pound blue cat. Caught several over 10#. Already looking forward to going back.
This video was great laughed out loud Dave had to fight through all the technological and fake or deals that we all go through but he persevered and caught fish so it is a catfish video
Glad to see you here in SC. We make an annual pilgrimage to Santee to fish Memorial Day weekend and a couple of times more. You should do like Justin Johnson did when came to Santee. He asked for some help and a fellow met him with perch and a place to go. MacDaddys has some pretty good food.
In the early 2000s in almost every diner along the shore they had a 70+ blue stuffed on the wall, when I was down there for a week vac I broke my P.B. With all three cat species, it was a amazing fishery and hope to revisit someday👍
Really like your video's. Fishin or not you are very entertaining and keep it real. Oh and I've stayed in worse fish camp rooms before. One had a sign that said "Please don't clean fish in room"... lol
You were in my neck of the woods Dave! They're biting pretty decent in Marion right now. Haven't heard much about Moultrie. That diversion canal is always a good spot to catch some big boys though. And yes the gators are out now too. They don't bother you unless you bother them lol.
Hey Dave. If you want to come back anytime during the summer. I will be more than glad to show you some fantastic spots for catfishing. I normally fish at night. I fish a big flat on the lower lake. Avg about 1 fish every 1/2 hr. Then drift fish the tailrace when they are making power. That's where the giants live.
Didn't Get Skunked , ☑️ , I've often wondered about big open waters as such , but then again my motto has always been if you can't swim to the hill ,Ya Way To Far Out , lol 🤣, ,, I'd Guess You Learned A few Things About Santee Cooper on ya vacation , always enjoyed ,Tight Lines To Ya 🦈🎣
Great video! From driving around to the ban! Glad you caught a couple nice fish! Great getaway vacation! Keep fishing Bro! From north Alabama ghenley35
Dave… my dad and I use to fish this lake… go fish behind the dam, catch a few shad or small bream, sink em to the bottom… largest I caught was 22lb cat 👍🏻
Was able to fish here about 7 years ago. Stayed at Black’s Fish Camp and we slayed them off of a muscle clam bed in 2ft of water! Biggest fish I’ve ever caught was here at 60lbs blue catfish!
That's where I usually stay and they used to have my picture on the wall where I caught white catfish right out past Harry's fish camp it was there for years but they took it down.
Sweet trip! Always wanted to fish that area. See that river system each year heading to the beach. The Old Fisherman on YT catches those white perch, white bass, striper, etc on Lake Murray. I don't know where else they are. Does SC have any Skipjack?
Catfish the movie, staring Catfish Dave. Love all your shows man.
Catfish Dave getting gas is more entertaining than 90% of the fishing videos on RUclips.
lol yep
Imagine getting gas for that dang blasted kayak. .lol..
Nathan Fisher why don't you just stop watching then???????
@@butchdarak7622 because he likes the channel. Put your white knight costume away.
Interesting road trip for the fishing video. I hope that you do more fishing videos like this one.

welcome to SC, hope your next trip is better. thanks for sharing your time with us.

Gotta love catfish Dave.
He keeps it real, says what’s on his mind.
That’s why I love catfish Dave!
He’s the Man!
That's the funniest gas station/bank scene I've seen in awhile.
I thought I was watching myself in this video. My exact rants about banks and traffic!
Yep. Holy flash back
As a resident of South Carolina I’m excited for this video
Me to bro me to
Ain't it pronounce 'Saanteee Cupper' ?

Yes I know well stayed at Harrys for years
This video was a lot of fun. Dave is such a wholesome human being, glad he takes us along on his trips
My grandfather used to always go there, he lived in Walhalla SC... He died before I got a chance to go with him.... He absolutely loved Santee Cooper.
@Deeper Frequencies If you ever get the chance to fish the lakes at Santee you'll love it. We're from Greenville and we do a 3 day trip every year in June.
From Anderson here and yes I go to Santee some too.Well I also been down down there and ain't caught s-- t too
Love your music ! Keep it coming !
My Dad is 93 and he watches ur videos all day everyday !
I don’t always watch dumb commercials for channels I’m subbed to but when I do it’s for Catfish Dave. Thanks for sharing.
Got the best spot there is my couch to watch these great videos always good to have them to put a smile upon your face
Shoulda called ol Dieter Melhourn for a place to stay hahaha
He would have talked them into a free place to stay lol.

The road trip videos are the best. Feels more like a catfish adventure.
thank you Dave to Santee Cooper great distance you braved, to give us some fish well done Dave!
Great road trip, great video man 👍
To bad you have so much trouble getting there
Great video Dave. When I fished there a couple years ago I could always find white perch if i could find a mussel bed to fish.

Dude I’ve laughed at your comment for 2 day’s now
you def put in the work to bring us a nice video dave. thank you!
You are one of my heroes Dave and i sure do wish you would sing more!
You don't even have to fish, I can watch you do anything!

You get on that road way back in there and you make me start thinking about "Deliverance" whooooo
Thanks for sharing your videos and keep them coming please.
Santee Cooper used to be the place to go for big catfish and numbers.Good luck.
People don’t think of this but toilet paper can have many uses while fishing .💩and starting fires and many more .Hope you don’t get bed bugs 😂
This video was great laughed out loud Dave had to fight through all the technological and fake or deals that we all go through but he persevered and caught fish so it is a catfish video
Love your videos. Let the others talk about jello-chicken. Thanks for giving us traditional catfishing and a lesson on using an on-ramp! :)
Was one of the first ones to meet him,hell of a nice person,would like to sit down pick his brain.
Glad to see you here in SC. We make an annual pilgrimage to Santee to fish Memorial Day weekend and a couple of times more. You should do like Justin Johnson did when came to Santee. He asked for some help and a fellow met him with perch and a place to go. MacDaddys has some pretty good food.
“I’m goin to South Carolina... I need some cashhhhh” hahaha my man Dave
Cotton used to be king, now cash is king down here- Real name Nathaniel
Great video. Keep em coming. I don’t get to fish as much as I want. But I do go with you.
In the early 2000s in almost every diner along the shore they had a 70+ blue stuffed on the wall, when I was down there for a week vac I broke my P.B. With all three cat species, it was a amazing fishery and hope to revisit someday👍
Lmao!! No more fishing vids just do road trip vids! I’m dying laughing at this episode!
Thanks for doing this video, brings back a lot of memories
Great to have you come visit, come back any time.
I like how you didn’t forget the toilet papers. That’s what I made sure to have when I go fishing
Great Video Dave. Keep the roadtrips coming.
Been waiting on this one.. Seems weird seeing you in my area. Bites been slow, and lord only knows where in the hell the white perch went.
I knew I'd see you in the comments🤣
I have many memories at Hills Landing, awesome catfishing there when I was a kid
Want to make a trip there myself, but as a newbie do not where to go exactly.
That's why my Catfish rig is a pontoon boat. I can sleep on deck, parked or in the water.
Really like your video's. Fishin or not you are very entertaining and keep it real. Oh and I've stayed in worse fish camp rooms before. One had a sign that said "Please don't clean fish in room"... lol
Nice road trip Dave, it's a big water system with lots of places for the big Blues to hide for sure. Jeff in LA USA
Thanks for sharing have a blessed day in the name of Jesus
Hey hey!! Welcome to my neck of SC! You should give Lake Hartwell a go in the following weeks! Plenty of places to stay too! Great Video!
Welcome to SC brother great video I hope you catch some big ones..
Makes me appreciate living in the woods.
Dag nabit I done got addicted to your fishing videos
Enjoyed the video very much Dave.
Welcome to South Carolina, Catfish Dave!
I have always wanted to fish there but it’s a 15 hour drive from my part of Texas so I think I will just stay home. Great video as always.
Just watched Hagen Grubs road trip to Tennessee. Now you road trip to South Carolina. You guys should talk
Thanks for your videos Catfish Dave. My favorite RUclips channel. Would you consider using some salted skipjack as bait.
We want more! Videos like this one!!! The Adventure of catfish Dave!!!! 🤘😎🤘
The old fisherman on RUclips is the best best perch fisherman there is! Drop it to the bottom where the big girls lie
Hello Catfish Dave you're in my neck of the woods. Use to fish the Santee Cooper back in the 70's and 80's
Santee is a tough dangerous lake to fish. I fished it in the past and it's one of the toughest I have tried.
You were in my neck of the woods Dave! They're biting pretty decent in Marion right now. Haven't heard much about Moultrie. That diversion canal is always a good spot to catch some big boys though. And yes the gators are out now too. They don't bother you unless you bother them lol.
@@edzkos59 where? Lake Marion? Planning to go this weekend probably.
Now your catfishing!!
Love fishing Santee-Cooper!!! Been there many many times!
I wish I could have told you the spot to catch white perch right on the canel about 100yrds from Canal Lakes ramp.
I tell you Dave. You look so comfy in those overalls that I might have to get me a pair. should be perfect for kayaking.
Hey Dave. If you want to come back anytime during the summer. I will be more than glad to show you some fantastic spots for catfishing. I normally fish at night. I fish a big flat on the lower lake. Avg about 1 fish every 1/2 hr. Then drift fish the tailrace when they are making power. That's where the giants live.
Hey catfish Dave that was a nice blue really it was I've never fished the Santee Cooper but maybe that'll be on my bucket list
Ya know, at first I didn’t very much like Catfish Dan because of his personality. Now I get it, I really do. Keep on truckin my man!!
Love that bluegrass music when you catch one.
The road trips are awesome Dave. 👍
Love it. Good fishing vlog Dave.
Stopped in a parking lot to pee in a bottle...lol 😂 we've all been there.
Bottle, I got a urinal bottle from the hospital.....lol.
😂🤣😂
Yep sure thing always handy to have
Guess Dave's been in the city to LONG we just piss on the ground where I'm from 😁😁😁😁
Love how you were fishing with “American shad” 😂😂
That's what it's called, though. It's a large variety of shad.
Lol. On account they look just like a skip Jack
Dave you Crack me the f..k up🤦♂️🤣
Good video Dave, long drive. Still a fishing video. Thanks for sharing

What a hoot it would be to take a road trip with you Dave !
wow dave you was near my neck of the woods. been a few years since i fished the lakes but harrys fish camp use to have cottages for rent.
Harry's still rent cottages
That's where I usually stay and they used to have my picture on the wall where I caught white catfish right out past Harry's fish camp it was there for years but they took it down.
