For future reference, here are the locations I found where you can fish without a boat. All these locations have a fishing dock: C. Alex Harvin Indian Bluffs (Restrooms are available) Spiers Landing John C Land III (Lots of space). John C Land has a large floating dock separate from the boat launch. We caught several crappie over 10" and a 19" 3# bass. My fish finder I use for bank fishing (Deeper Sonar) showed lots of fish including some large fish under the dock there.

Pflueger Patriarch XT baitcaster.

I have a Pflueger President size 20 and a Pflueger Summit XT size 25 for my UL setups. The Summit XT is a BassPro/Cabelas only reel made for them by Pflueger.

I assume a slider is a gator. I'm pretty careful to check my surroundings closely for gators and snakes before choosing a spot and stay out of anywhere I can't clearly see. I go bank fishing in the Lakeland, FL area once a year so I'm used to checking the area closely. I had listed all those sites except Russellville. Other locations I am considering are Santee State Park, Indian Bluff, Cathead Landing, Taw Caw Creek, C. Alex Harvin, Harry's, Canal Lakes, Wilson's Landing and the Santee Refuge (Both Cuddo and near I-95). Any feedback on these locations would be appreciated. I used Google Maps satellite view to see to determine what sites might be promising for bank fishing. I dont want to go somewhere that is a waste of time (no where to cast a line from). I will be fishing Monday-Friday so hopefully there won't be a lot of people competing for space.

I'm headed to Santee Cooper in 2 weeks. I will be bank fishing. Anyone have any suggestions on good bank fishing spots? In addition to bass fishing, I'm planning on targeting some blues and maybe some pan fishing.

I'm in York County. I have a 10 foot Bass Raider and generally fish Lake Redman, Lake Marburg and Pinchot.

Can't comment on the Clarus, but I have a Triumph and like it a lot. It's probably my favorite spinning rod. 6'6" Medium Light/Fast.
