Relaxed Retreat Weekly Fishing Report: Sep 20 – 27, 2026
Welcome to this week’s fishing report for the Santee Cooper lake system! As we dive into the week of September 20-27, prepare for mostly sunny skies and warm temperatures, with highs reaching the low 90s early on, tapering off to the high 70s by week’s end. Expect patchy fog in the mornings, but don’t worry; by midday, the sun will be shining bright. Water conditions will be fairly calm and clear, perfect for fishing! Target species like largemouth bass and bluegill will be active, particularly in the early mornings and late evenings, so don’t miss your chance to reel in some trophy catches!
