I know it's a long shot...

I know this is a long shot, but it doesn't hurt to try. Just wondering if anyone knows the name of a good catfish guide down on the Santee Cooper Lakes in South Carolina? I will be down there at the end of september for my honeymoon and I will be booking a guide for a day. I saw a show last year that Winkelman did down in S.C. fishing for cats and they did rather well. Problem is I emailed his HSOforum and haven't got a response about the guide he used. That was over a month ago. Since my fiance wanted to go to SC for the honeymoon, I figured we would do a day of cattin on some of the best catfish waters in the country. There are a lot of guides on the net, but I figured I would go with someone that I am referred to, if possible. And yes the future wife likes to go catfishing, so I didn't even have to beg! This better not change after the wedding eek

Go online and Google Santee cooper guides.

If you looking for a personal recommendation from some one up here. You are shooting for a long shot.

Not many blue hunters... and as far as Flathead fisheries. WE have one of the best in the nation in our back yard... No reason to go any where else.

I was trying to learn everything I could on driftfishing techniques and I bought a DVD on Catfish Connection about drifting on Santee Cooper Reservoir. They hired a guide named Glenn Hood for the video and he put some nice blues in the boat. I was impressed with the guy from the video - I looked up the HSOforum from the video. This is the contact information:

Glenn Hood, Santee Cooper Guide Service

Thanks Steve, I probably came across him already just like many others. My goal for this thread was to try and get specific names rather than searching the huge number of guides for these lakes. I appreciate the help.

    • By The way that didn't work either!! Screw it I'll just use the cellular. 
    • It’s done automatically.  You might need an actual person to clear that log in stuff up.   Trash your laptop history if you haven’t tried that already.
    • 😂 yea pretty amazing how b o o b i e s gets flagged, but they can't respond or tell me why I  can't get logged in here on my laptop but I can on my cellular  😪
    • I grilled some brats yesterday, maybe next weekend will the next round...  
    • You got word censored cuz you said        B o o b ies….. haha.   Yeah, no… grilling is on hiatus for a bit.
    • Chicken mine,  melded in Mccormick poultry seasoning for 24 hours.  Grill will get a break till the frigid temps go away!
    • we had some nice weather yesterday and this conundrum was driving me crazy  so I drove up to the house to take another look. I got a bunch of goodies via ups yesterday (cables,  winch ratchet parts, handles, leaf springs etc).   I wanted to make sure the new leaf springs I got fit. I got everything laid out and ready to go. Will be busy this weekend with kids stuff and too cold to fish anyway, but I will try to get back up there again next weekend and get it done. I don't think it will be bad once I get it lifted up.    For anyone in the google verse, the leaf springs are 4 leafs and measure 25 1/4" eye  to eye per Yetti. I didnt want to pay their markup so just got something else comparable rated for the same weight.   I am a first time wheel house owner, this is all new to me. My house didn't come with any handles for the rear cables? I was told this week by someone in the industry that cordless drills do not have enough brake to lower it slow enough and it can damage the cables and the ratchets in the winches.  I put on a handle last night and it is 100% better than using a drill, unfortatenly I found out the hard way lol and will only use the ICNutz to raise the house now.
    • I haven’t done any leaf springs for a long time and I can’t completely see the connections in your pics BUT I I’d be rounding up: PB Blaster, torch, 3 lb hammer, chisel, cut off tool, breaker bar, Jack stands or blocks.   This kind of stuff usually isn’t the easiest.   I would think you would be able to get at what you need by keeping the house up with Jack stands and getting the pressure off that suspension, then attack the hardware.  But again, I don’t feel like I can see everything going on there.
    • reviving an old thread due to running into the same issue with the same year of house. not expecting anything from yetti and I already have replacement parts ordered and on the way.   I am looking for some input or feedback on how to replace the leaf springs themselves.    If I jack the house up and remove the tire, is it possible to pivot the axel assembly low enough to get to the other end of the leaf spring and remove that one bolt?   Or do I have to remove the entire pivot arm to get to it? Then I also have to factor in brake wire as well then. What a mess   My house is currently an hour away from my home at a relatives, going to go back up and look it over again and try to figure out a game plan.           Above pic is with house lowered on ice, the other end of that leaf is what I need to get to.   above pic is side that middle bolt broke and bottom 2 leafs fell out here is other side that didnt break but you can see bottom half of leaf already did but atleast bolt is still in there here is hub assembly in my garage with house lowered and tires off when I put new tires on it a couple months ago. hopefully I can raise house high enough that it can drop down far enough and not snap brake cable there so I can get to that other end of the leaf spring.
