Thread: Just was told im being relocated to sc, undecided about bringing the boat.

I'd say bring it!!! You will have your choice of lakes to fish: Santee (Marion and moultrie), Wateree, Murray, and with a little driving Clarks Hill and Greenwood.

Santee has some world class fish in it as does Clarks Hill. Wateree is a great lake year round, as is Greenwood. Murray is a world class striper fishery and is loaded with white perch.

bring the boat. thank you for your service.

If you have a wife that loves to fish, I'd bring it! Those CDC South Carolina boys will put you on some fish, all you have to do is ask! Just read somewhere recently that somebody caught a 4lb crappie at Santee. Good Luck and Thank You for your service!

Thank you for the input. Maybe i will see if some of you experienced members fishing this area want to show a new guy the ropes when i arrive which looks like sometime in july. I also anticipate using the minnkota alot in areas with the brush hazards, but am sure thats where i will find the crappies. Do the crappies go deep in the winter like they do in mn? Was also tossing up buying a kicker but dont know if i will be doing much slow trolling now as you do with walleye fishing.

Is there an abundance of crappie there? I dont want to bring the boat if the fishing isnt worth it. I am originally from northern mn and mainly fish just walleye. I fish some crappie ice fishing in the winter if im in mn in the winter never tried summer fishing for them. Also looks like alot of hazards in the lakes for boats. Just wondering if its worth the pain to bring my boat as the wife and i love fishing. My bost is an 2012 alumacraft competitor 175 with a yamaha f115 outboard. Thank you.

you can see my boat below, Competitor 165 with a Suzuki 90. Very similar to your rig, I live and fish in Arkansas. Funny thing is, no one likes it until they go fishing in it, then they love it. Ain't no way I'd sell that boat?

what do you do for Uncle Sugar? Many years ago I was an avionics technician and worked on F-15s.

Thanks for for your service.

CDC is a short for this site, crappie.com. Some people use that and some use c.c to reference this site. I guess that did confuse you! The "misses"did good!!

thanks for the reply, yeah thought most crappie fisherman used flat bottoms for hat i assume was the conditions they fish in. These boats are very nice to fish from, i have the single console to make it easier to move around. The wife said the next boat will have a console for her as it is very cold at 6 am in may in northern mn at 40+ mph.
