February issue of South Carolina Sportsman now available

Latest issue features crappie, catfish, bass and striper fishing.

Lake Moultrie is the smaller of the two reservoirs that make up the sprawling Santee Cooper system, but at 60,000 acres, it’s still a big puddle of water.

To the uninitiated, it looks like a big, round bowl, but underneath the flat surface is a lake bottom crisscrossed by ditches and humps, creeks, old ponds and their dams. A fisherman unfamiliar with the lake wouldn’t have any idea where to start – unless he’d read the February issue of South Carolina Sportsman. A top Lake Moultrie guide takes readers on a tour of 10 of the lake’s best fishing holes – for crappie, catfish, largemouth bass and stripers.

But that’s not all. Fishermen can learn places to catch winter sheepshead out of Bulls Bay, winter redfish in the Charleston area and winter brown trout from Lake Jocassee.

Squirrel hunters will be introduced to the Ashmore Heritage Preserve, and quail hunters will be introduced to the preserve option – put-and-take hunting for those who need to get their bird dogs some serious work or just want the makings of a quail-and-grits dinner.

Last but not least, learn how trappers can help landowners or managers bolster their turkey populations.
