Pushing Back The Darkness: The Santee Cooper Story

[@konaken1035]

In 1965 I was a 6 year-old kid in Redwood City California. My mom married a sailor. He was stationed in Charleston S.C... we moved to Charleston Heights, then to a place by a lake. Santee Cooper Resevoir I called it but it must have been lake Marion or the other one. Any who, there was an abandoned creepy cemetery in the woods back away from the lake. Mixed memories from those few years in 1966-68... I watched this with keen interest and didn't know a lick about this history. Very Cool.

I live on the banks of Lake Maultrie. The lower of the 2 lakes. There's lake Moultrie and Marion. I live 25 miles from Charleston Hieghts and worked in Charleston Charleston Hieghts for 25 years. It's funny, I moved here 31 years ago and the native born people don't know about this history. I fish those slave canals and rice fields today. Just saying hello from The Lakes

I have lived in South Carolina all my life. 61 years. And I am so thankful.

Great, informative video!! Great fishing too!!

Some of the best fishing in the world.

Go catfishing below the dam or the diversion canal. If you toss line in and nothing for 10 to 20 minutes chances are there is a big fish down there

We used to build great things I'm not sure what happened to my state or country but greedy a-holes probably had something to do with it

Yea town of Santee now building affordable houses for the people in the mid 200s🤣. The mayor and city council will make you get a business license there if you deliver dry-cleaning to people home that was clean in Holly Hill. And to top that business license cost is based on how much your business owns, Santee is corrupt and needs a good cleaning 😉. They are going to build a Walmart in Santee that will turn about four surrounding towns into ghost towns. The only way Santee and the Realtors could sell those houses is if they bought in a Walmart 🤷 mayor and city council need to be run out of Santee right now 😬

Where is a good place to catch fish?

[@blackwater2192]

I usually get mine from liquid water. If you're pressed for time you can buy them off frozen water.

[@JackDavenport-e3j]

One, is the old Santee riverbed, two, the marl banks on right of bridge,and three, the dugout. Nuff said.

Eating fish from man made lakes? You eating human flesh as well! Those fish grow off human flesh!
