OUR EQUIPMENT
We do all of our fishing from a 24ft. pontoon with a 115hp Yamaha 4-stroke engine, 30 gallon bait live well, (we do not fish our baits off of ice) up to date touchscreen fish finder, and GPS. My boat has an enclosed cabin with heat as well as a restroom and enough room for everyone to be comfortable. As far as tackle, I use Abu Garcia Ambassador reels exclusively, Ugly Stik and Eagle Claw rods, Powerpro line, and Gamakatsu hooks.

POWERPRO fishing superline is all that I use for drift fishing for catfish on Santee Cooper as it offers extremely small diameter, super strength, and absolutely no stretch.
I fish only with Abu Garcia reels for all of our catfish and striper fishing charters. We use Ambassador 5500 & 6500 C3 series reels as well as Revo and Pro Max reels.
I use ugly stick rods for most all of my catfishing while tight lining as they are light weight and offer super strength needed for the bigger fish.
I always wear Columbia sportswear while fishing on the Santee Cooper lakes as their clothing offers great fit, moisture wicking, and great SPF keeping me comfortable and protected from the elements.
I use only Driftmaster rod holders for our catfish and striper rods as they have set the standard in rod holders for strength and functionality.
You wont find a better rod holder at any price!
