The catfishing is always good using worms and cut bait on the
bottom. On the full moon in August, the bream should concentrate
in the shallows on beds and can be caught using cricket and worms
in local ponds.
A&B OUTFITTERS (803-438-8802) on Hwy 34 stated that
everyone seems to be interested in catching bream and catfish
on the Wateree River. Stripers are being caught in the Lake Wateree
using cut bait, shimmy shads and buck tails. Bass can be caught
on the points on Lake Wateree and will be caught early and late
in the day or at night using buzzbaits, worms and deep running
crankbaits. Catfish can be caught fishing worms, chicken livers
or stink baits on the bottom. They do carry some ammo for you
hunters too, plus some clothing. This store is a little out of
the way (on Hwy. 34 between Lugoff and Ridgeway) but is well worth
the drive because they are stocked up with all types of fishing
tackle and they carry plenty of live bait.

live bait and worms. Try minnows or mini jigs in about 12 to 28
feet of water over deep brush for crappies. Bream will be on the
beds during the full moon in August. Try night fishing for big
blue catfish at night. Fishing the local ponds in August can be
exciting for bream and bass. August is a great month to just going
fishing and enjoy life. “FOR SALE DUE TO HEALTH REASONS.”
The news from LONGTOWN CORNER STORE (803-337-3365) is that
the bream fishing should be excellent around the full moon in
August. Crappies are being caught on minnows in 16 to 25 feet

fishing in the back part of Beaver Creek. Catfishing has been
great using cut bait and worms fished on the bottom. Crappie fishing
