Captain Bob Sandifer (white shirt) after a guided trip with a catfish weighing well over 40 pounds.

Its time to book those catfish, crappie, striper, or largemouth bass trips for your next vacation.. Right at the top of your list of guides to take you out should be Captain Bob Sandifer. Captain Bob was born in Lexington, Kentucky on August 29, 1957. He then moved to Orangeburg, SC when he was about 6 years old. Captain Bob is a retired law enforcement agent who has been fishing the Santee Cooper lake systems since he was about 8 years old. He served the Orangeburg County Sheriffs office for 21 years and then retired. Once retiring he moved to Lake Marion in 1999 and has been SC Coast Guard Licensed since 2001.

Captain Bob fishes from a 2000 model 24' Landau Pontoon with a full enclosure for those cold winter months. He also has a 21' Skeeter bass boat that he uses when fishing for the largemouth bass. Captain Bob has the equipment, the knowledge, and the drive to go out and do a good job of teaching you how to bring in those monster catfish, crappie, stripers, or largemouth bass that the Santee Cooper Lakes hold in their beautiful waters.
