The pier can comfortably fit four boats, without using the boat lift slot. If you'd like to use the boat lift due to having a person with mobility limitations for stepping down into a boat, we will charge you a small extra fee for usage. 

Big Mama's is located on Wyboo, an area of the lake most used for waterboat sports. It is a short boat ride away from the larger but shallower area of Lake Marion used primarily for fishing. Big Mama's is located 15 minutes by car outside of Manning, South Carolina, United States.
