Lake Wylie Saturday 4/11 and Sunday 4/12

Was joined by Crappiekrazy and friend Billy (and Jack) for a crappie trip on Wylie. We launched at Nivens landing about 7am. I had gotten minnows the night before but they were all dead by morning. Bait was busting right in front of the ram and even tho I never had much luck there we decided to try longlining. The bite was good right from the start as long as we held close to 12' depth. Any color jig tipped with a dead minnow worked. So did jigs alone. We went to Torrance Creek and the bite was still good. Tried Big Allison and only picked up a couple. A short trip, this morning for a few more and the total was 46 kept crappies, 7 channel cats 2 largemouth and 3,,,, maybe 4 thousand white perch. Also a half dozen or so yellow perch, bigger than I normally see on Wylie. Great trip.

Congrats on the catch and thanks for posting the report and the pictures. Looks like y'all had a find day on the lake :ThumbsUp

Thanks for the report! We like pictures!

Impressive
Looks more and more like I got to try trolling

Congrats on a great trip. I know you guys enjoyed it. Thanks for posting.:)

Man what a great trip! Thanks for the invite Gary, we really enjoyed it. You forgot to mention the most unbelievable part of the trip. Yesterday morning we watched a guy back his pontoon boat in the water, unload and then drive off in his boat. He left his truck/trailer sitting in the water as he drove clean out of sight. About 20-30 minutes later we see him coming back. I was thinking maybe he was going to load it back up but no! He makes a run right through the NO WAKE ZONE to the end of Nivens creek at half throttle, turns around and back out of the creek again and out of sight. The kayak fishermen were giving the thumbs up the whole time! (or maybe it was another finger) Meanwhile, his rig is blocking one of the two ramps and it was still sitting there when we left! I hoping he just didn't know any better. As apposed to the alternative, which is he is the biggest a$$ in SC! Thanks again Gary. Fresh crappie fillets are on the menu tonight!!

Here are a few more pictures.

The end to a great trip:

Nice catch guy's. I loved the story about the man leaving his truck at the ramp. That would have been worth the trip right there.

Thanks for the report. Maybe you should have called the sheriff about the guy blocking the ramp??:Rofl
