I was fishing on Lake Marion, the upper lake in the Santee Cooper system in South Carolina.

I use a 16 foot Alumacraft with a 40 Honda tiller steering. This is a fast paced fishing. Once cranked at the start of the day, I never shut the outboard off. You run to the first spot, slam the motor into neutral. Place a marker out over the brush if necessary. Get out your long rod, I prefer a 11 foot. Depending on the depth of the brush, let out that much line. Swing your jig out slightly beyond your target and let the bait fall into the strike zone maintaining a semi tight line. Watch for strikes as the bait falls. If none, jig the bait up and down several times while swimming over top of the brush. You may want to make several pitches out over the brush if the brush is large in size. Catch the aggressive fish that are feeding. High tail it to the next spot and repeat.
