One effective method for catching shellcrackers is to use live bait such as worms or crickets on a small hook. It's important to use a light to medium-light spinning outfit with a 4-6 lb test line and a sensitive rod to detect the light bites of these fish.
When fishing for shellcrackers, it's best to target areas with sandy or gravel bottoms, as these are their preferred spawning grounds. Look for shallow coves, backwaters, and the edges of weed beds, where the water is typically warmer and the fish tend to congregate.
Another effective method for catching shellcrackers is to use small jigs or soft plastic baits, which can be bounced along the bottom to mimic the movements of natural prey.
Overall, shellcracker fishing on Lake Marion in the Santee Cooper area can be a fun and exciting experience, offering anglers the chance to catch a variety of fish in a scenic and picturesque setting.

awesome fishing Gator. Glad to see they redone the docks, so maybe it will remain open. Is there a drop box to pay for parking?

[@gatorsoutdooradventures]

No drop box yet.

Did you keep that majestic creature or let him live on.....I would be torn.....I probably out of respect let him go but no fault on you if you did eat him, for that is a big part of fishing....the eating. Subscribed and liked your format and information and miss that area.....fished around Moncks Corner then moved to Beaufort Co. years back and have been harassing Redfish as much as possible

[@gatorsoutdooradventures]

Thanks appreciate you. That red fishing is addictive as well.

[@gatorsoutdooradventures]

We fished different stuff. None of my regular fishing. Exploring different areas this year. Let me regular stuff rest. It’s not being pressured by folks so I’m gonna let is sit out this year unless there’s an emergency an I need fish

[@Bentley240F]

Thought Jacks Creek Landing was closed. Fished out of there a lot years ago.

[@gatorsoutdooradventures]

Some good fishing out of there. Right on up in sparkle berry swamp. It was opened back up closed back down. Opened back up so who knows how long it’s gonna stay back open.

Have they repaired and reopened Jacks Landing?

[@gatorsoutdooradventures]

Repaired that’ll never happen as long as the beach property owns it and not give a fair lease Open I guess it’s open. I put in somewhere else an just motor there here lately .

[@Carolinaboi313]

@@gatorsoutdooradventures in your video opening, it looked like fresh wood docks at Jack's Landing. Across from the Carolina King. Am I wrong?

[@gatorsoutdooradventures]

@@Carolinaboi313 well yea new untreated wood on old dock it’s gonna last about 6 months.

What a day of fishing and fellowship. Can't wait to be a part of it

[@gatorsoutdooradventures]

You got that right. We have a great time out fishing. The fish are just a bonus. But you know to some it’s just being out there enjoying GODS creation now don’t get me wrong. I want to catch fish every trip but if I don’t. It’s ok. I lived another day to be able to get out there in that water. Appreciate you Brother.

[@bobbyherring5540]

@@gatorsoutdooradventures that's very true catching fish is just a bonus and I can't wait to share that with you soon. Let's try to set up something soon

[@brentcarr8365]

You guy's are blessed to have that kind of bluegill. I live in ohio and our lakes are small and so are the bluegill. Someday I need drive the truck and boat down there

[@gatorsoutdooradventures]

Appreciate you. Come on you’d have fun for sure.

[@brentcarr8365]

@@gatorsoutdooradventures can you catch big bluegill in the summer? And are they deep or on the banks in the summer? Thanks!

[@gatorsoutdooradventures]

Both actually depending where I’m fishing. River swamp I fish the banks. Lake I’m fishing the 3 to 5 ft water unless I’m going to fish brush. Then I’ll hit the 10 to 15 ft brush an just slaughter the bream. Amazing at the bream that take to the brush piles

[@brentcarr8365]

@@gatorsoutdooradventures hey thanks a ton. I'm gonna try by summer to get down there

[@tnfishingadventures4901]
