Thread: Monticello 11/19

CountryBoy, it’s know as a catfish lake, but I’ve never tried. I’m pretty good at catching bait😜. Caught a lot of perch today and 20 largemouth. Had a 7 pound 14 ounce and a 6 pound 11 ounce. Had a good day.

Yep , some good fishing there on Monticello. Haven’t been there in over a year. Some nice bass you caught. Have heard that the next SC record cat would probably be caught on that lake

Amazingly Monticello has a thriving Smallmouth population. With the water warmed by the nuclear plant I thought it was to warm for them. I was going today but the cold plus high winds kept me in the house.
Don and Remus let me know when you are coming and if I can I'll join you. A pontoon is fine, both ramps will handle easily. I know a little about the lake. It is the 1st lake that I caught white perch.

This is the address for the ramp I’m using. Close to where I’m fishing. Only been burning about 1 gallon of gas. Don’t get any better than that.

I won a silent auction bid for a 3 night stay at a nice vacation home on the sub impoundment. Unfortunately the weather was terrible the dates we chose so we looked out the windows a lot. I got restless and went looking for the town of Blair. Ain't no such, just a few abandoned stores on a dead end road. Looked like a trip back to the 50s. Bit spooky too!

The honeymoon on Monticello is over, fished today. 3 of us only keep 25 and had to work hard to get them. White capped!! On fish but they had lockjaw. Only caught 4 bass. Still beat Black Friday shopping.

How is the water down there ? I'm on vacation and I'm going fishing somewhere ! Any pointer for the lake on the crappie ?

I went there once a loooong time ago there was a post office that had (if I remember right)a cracker and pepsi machine a middle age woman running the post office and an old gentleman that told us about the big flood way back when. if you look behind the store there is a rail road trestle about 100 ft. down the river bank that crosses river == he said the flood washed out the trestle and water was right up to the buildings == that would be a heck of a pile of water. now you`ve had your history lesson lets get back to fishin

Uncle Remus .... I see you are from clover . Did you know any Melton's from clover ?
