Thread: Wateree 3/11/17

I went turkey scouting on my lease until about 2 pm Saturday then I decided I wanted to do a little fishing at the lake. I put my motor in the shop that morning at wateree marina since my lease is a mile or two down the road from it. So I was pretty much SOL on fishing....Until I remebered the kayak I kept under the lake house porch. So the kayak it was, I have never ever seen as many bass boats on the lake as I did that day. I caught one 3 1/2 pound bass on the shakey head before I gave up on the greenies. So my next mission was to play search and destroy with some ole "Crawpie". So I grabbed my bream buster and my tackle box full of jigs and I started "ripping" down the lake in my yak. I got to my favorite spot with about an hour of daylight left. But I only had 30 Mins to fish because of my paddle back to the house. On the first cast with the jig, I caught My PB or close to it crappie!! It was every other cast a fish!! Then I had a jon boat zip into the cove...I knew they were crappie fishing so I quickly picked up my bass rod and faked it. They were very nice and looped way around me giving me room to fish. After about they made about 14-15 unsuccessful casts they gave up and took off. So back to crappie catching I went, Sadly they stopped biting at dark.

(Almost forgot to mention I had one jump out as I was putting one in the cooler....I was crushed)

I went out the next day after the snow only armed with my breambuster and a jig and I only caught two bass and a perch. Needless to say, the cold front pushed them out quick.

Congrats on a good short outing.
