Thread: Help on Wateree

I hope someone who fishes down there will chime in and help you out. I would say crappie should be close to the shallows now with the temps starting to rise. Breaver Creek is a good spot to long line in. Just about any of the creeks will be good. I sure hope you get into them while your here on your stay.

The Raccoon and I went to Wateree yesterday. I bank fished cause he was late getting there but I did catch a big shellcracker on a Larry jig. Snooze he lose. On the crappie front over hearing the chatter from the state park campers is some crappie are still deep and some are on the banks. Me and Raccoon got skunked on the crappie front but did get the usual slimers and some good sized white perch on the northern end of the lake.

Fished yesterday water temp 58 started long line nothing then went down line fished jigs,minnows ,jigs tiped with minnows fished shallow,deep , bridges . found tons of bait . only cought 3 and every one i talked to did no good . SO I ANT GOT A CLUE ! sorry hope u killem

Tightlined yesterday for 5 hours. It was tough, only catching one crappie at each place I fished. I fished deeper in 16-25 fow in coves and on points. I was not seeing the marks on the depth finder I was seeing 3 weeks ago. We did lose a biggun right next to the boat that was approx. 16" caught tightlining right next to a dock on a steep drop off to 22 fow. I think with all the warm weather they are in the back of coves or under the docks, but that is just speculation. Next weekend I may try clarks hill, but if I don't I will be longlining 1/16 road runners in 10-20 fow in back of coves and flats from beaver creek past wateree creek. I imagine the back of dutchman crerek should start getting good also. Water temp was 60 yesterday at 11am

Thank you Tim,Wendell C and wiskerwhipper.

Of the few we caught, our largest was Just under two pounds, the one we lost was noticeably larger than that.
