Thread: Oconee - richland creek

What I have noticed sometimes if you ask how the fishing is at a certain lake and don't get much of a response then usually its time to go. Haha! Either the people are out there fishing and catching them while we are home dreaming of catching them or some people just don't want to share the info. I am like most of the guys on here. I don't want to know where someones honeyhole is as I have a few myself but I do like to know things like how deep to fish and what depth water to fish in.

wow.ive been gone for a bit, these forums Sure seems secretive.I have found that lakes go through cycles it seems.Bad spawns/good spawns,etc.As the cycles go, the angler usually follow the lakes that are doing well.

One fisherman just left the house at 9:00 tonight....buying more heads and going back to Oconee Thursday Morning. Said they did good this afternoon (Wed).

I hope they save a few for me for this weekend. I don't know if I should go saturday or sunday. Both days show sunny and high 50s and sat shows 11mph wind and sun shows 5mph winds. Just got back from wally world. Bought me 4 more BnM 12ft trolling rods so now I can spider rig with 8 rods instead of just 4. Going to try fishing the backs of coves that are off the main creek channels in 8ft or less water and work my way close to the banks. Start out with my minners at 2-3ft deep on half my rods and set the other 4 about 4-6ft and see what works best. Got some BnM Capps/Coleman rigs from wally world that I am going to try on a few rods as well as some black/blue/black jiffy jigs and white/chartruse/rainbow jiffy jigs I am going to throw in there too. Give them a big variety and see what they like. I am new to this spider rigging and only caught like one fish doing it so I am determined to figure it out.

Mntman. U should do well with that setup. Just keep moving slowly & you will find them.

I didn't get to go last Friday which is a bummer. It was a nice day Friday and I should have been fishing, but sometimes it just doesn't work out. I will be glad to give a report when I get to go. I don't mind sharing information. It doesn't look like I will get to go this weekend but there is a slight chance I might make it Saturday. I don't know what the rain and then the front coming in will do to them. Good luck everybody that gets to go. Like everybody said in this post all you can do is go when you are able and try to find them. But the most important thing is to have fun with family and friends and enjoy the time on God's beautiful lakes.

Hey shinerunner. Did you happen to get the PM I sent back to you a few days ago?
