Has anyone fished the Goose Creek Reservoir in Charleston?  I am moving there and have found a nice home on this lake.  Any information on what you caught and used would be appreciated.  If there are any other good lakes around the area let me know those too!

 

 

Being in the Charleston area, you won't be that far from the Santee Cooper system of lakes.  Also the coastal red fishing and shark fishing around Charleston is pretty decent

I live on the reservoir and the fishing will make you question your skills. Its a VERY slow fishing lake. You'll have way more luck on the river systems.

We're going to have a small club tournament there on the 14th. Anyone have any suggestions for this time of the year? We are mainly trying to stay clear of the duck hunters until their season is over and none of us have ever fished here. Thought it would be something different to try. Thanks in advance

I've caught 3 bass in 10 outings so.....let me know how you make out.

I've changed venues and am now targeting Lake Moultrie at the Hatchery.

Good luck...

How is the fishing going over at the hatchery? I haven't done any good last couple of times over there. 

Gave up on the Hatchery and getting run over in the canal so we went back to Goose Creek and are having slow but steady luck out near the bridge at the road and if the water is deep enough near pads you might catch one. Shakyheads and crankbaits with an occasional swimbait doing the trick in the middle of the day. Averaging 2-3 keepers per trip and only going from 9-10am to 1-2pm. Brutally hot but I'll take what I can get at my age.

I've got basically the same report as grampa1114 above.  I'll get bit punching some of the grass mats late in the day.  Bluegill fishing has been good.  The deepest part of the lake, that I have found, is back in the creek channel leading to the bridge.  I've seen a bunch of fish in there but haven't hooked up with too many of them.

I caught a 6 lb largemouth in a jig 3 weeks ago and a 3.5 this week. Jig for the big one and frog for small one. Fishing is tough but I am learning the water.
