anyone from south carolina, im in the columbia area and wondering where i could find some bodies of water to go look for some mud and musks

thanks, kevin

i live in summerville,but i've been around a bit.i know that you can find muds in lake murray,but i have'nt been there in a couple years.further south,the santee cooper lake system(lakes marion & moultrie,and all of the little ponds,creeks,and canals connecting them)are full of muds& stink-pots.also,the edisto river and all of it's tributaries.i've had a lot of luck lately(in the last 2 yrs or so)in some old farm ponds(now subdivision drainage ponds-i hate "progress".my stepson caught 8 baby stink-pots last year in a creek a couple miles from my house while netting turtle food(mosquito fish,crawdads,and grass shrimp).i hope any or all of this helps!
