Alligator Hunting Lake Marion

[youngin]

I was lucky enough to pull a tag this year in the draw hunt and am hoping to be lucky enough to get a gator. I have the midlands region and was looking for some help on finding some gators. We are going down this weekend to do some scouting and was wondering if any of you guys could give some insighton some good areas to try out. Thanks

Where are you putting in at?

[youngin]

Not 100% sure yet on where we are going to put in. Can be anywhere we are travelling down from 30 mins east of Charlotte

I know the area around crappie neck and big oak hold some big gators. You can stay at Harry's or Canal Lakes. Both places put you real close.

i believe we are planning to stay at randolphs landing.

The last time i was at randolph's landing we went across the road be low the dam to catch bait and seen some big gators down there. Seen a lot in the little coves off from the diversion canal too ..

[youngin]

We saw 3 gators in jacks creek right before dark but that was all

[catfishrus]

Can you hunt them after dark?...I know the canal down there is full of them at night..or use to be. Use to see alot around blacks camp but last time I was down there..they was gone...seen a couple small ones.

Youngin, did you ever get your gator tag filled?

I know gator hunting is not as easy as it looks, especially to fill one tag! Seeing them is one thing, but getting a hook them is another.

How are you all actually getting the gator? Setting up for a rifle shot? Or using a limb-line baited with a BIG hook and a chicken leg, like they do in Louisiana?
