Event 3 of 2021 was today at Santee Cooper. That name means big fish to kayak anglers, and 141 showed up to fish the amazing waters Marion and Moultrie. This event was brought to Queen City Kayak Bass Fishing by My Man the Handyman. 141 is the new club record for an event, and it wouldn’t be the only record that was set today!The area was hit with amazing 80 degree weather last week, and in true QC fashion, a cold front rolled in this weekend and dropped temps into the 40s and 50s. Anglers were sending reports of 85 inch bags in practice, with kickers coming in the 23 and 24inch range. Anglers were excited to give it their best 8 hours. We took off at 6:30am this morning, with a first cast of 7:00am. Half of the lake was battling major wind, with 3 foot rollers, and the other half was glass calm. We had another angler end up in the water this morning due to crazy wind and waves. He is fine, some missing gear, a broken mirage drive, but he’s fine. The leader board was busy today. Mary Ferreri and Brad Cox do an amazing job keeping the leader board up to date, with accurate judging all day. 263 fish came across the board today, with 98 anglers submitting a fish, and 42 anglers skunking. We had 30 limits, with Ryan Hulsey winning the Dakota Lithium Batteries smallest limit award! Congrats. Ryan was also able to take home the Yak Bass’n small bass pot with a 8.75 inch beast worth $270! Not a bad day Co Commish!

House keeping……Service issues. We leave 60 minutes at the end of the day. These 60 minutes are supposed to be used to take care of your service issues, or whatever you may need issues. This time is really not meant for you to stroll back to the landing, and if you do use it for that, you risk not getting your fish in by last submission time. We had some major service issues today, and it cost someone $900. Please understand that getting your fish in, or getting in front of a judge is a personal responsibility and very important in kayak fishing. Event 4 is only 3 weeks away as we travel to the Foothills. This will be a multi lake event! Hickory, Rhodhiss and Lookout shoals! Lets break 141!
