Friday Nite at Wylie 5/15/15

Here's a picture of last site's get together, we had 5 boats and a bunch of people, some old friends and some new ones. I think everyone caught some fish.
John will tune in when he gets up with more details

First let me Thank all the one's who came out last night. Could not have been better weather wise. For the most part the fish co-operated for every one I think.Some very nice fish brought in. A little info here. There were 4 boats fishing the area I was in. Most everyone was in 25 to 35 fow. Water temp was 74 where we were.Water has slight stain in some creeks. Most were using minnows tightlined from 6 foot down to bottom. No set pattern on depth. Bait was so thick around our lights you could almost walk on them. A couple guys used jigs only and caught nice fish. I even tried a jig and caught some on em. Again the perch menace was up and running heavy. Caught 40 to 50 on my boat .Had 24 crappie caught with 17 keepers also. Some boats were way up on there count. All in all a great night. Now the good stuff. Again some guy called OT showed us how it is supposed to be done. His 5 fish total was 8 lb. 3 oz. Also big fish at 2 lb 3 oz. Congratulations to his crew. The rest of the 5 fish totals are: Dave with 5.12 lb...Team Griff at 5.9 lb...Hunter at 4.13 lb...Cuttbait at 4.11 lb. spotrunnin at 4.8 lb..And bringing in a 3.15 total was Team Benny. One crew left before weigh in cause they had early work today. Not sure how they did. Thanks to cuttbait and his partner for the prize donations. They got some red hot jigs if ya need some. Thanks to Biggdawgg for gettin em started cause I was a little late on gettin to the ramp. ScooperDude was the photographer for us.Thanks Grady. Not sure if anyone else had any pics or not. My crew had a couple of pics. Maybe they will get posted today.A first timer for crappie fishing was Griffin. He was on my crew. He caught the big fish on our boat. And as the story always is ....Let a biggun get off at the boat. But he was a happy kid after all the dust settled.. Thanks for hangin with us old folks Griff. Again Thanks to every one that came out. Those from the NC side of the line Thanks. Lookin forward to seein ya again soon. All I can say is When we gonna do it again ?

Me and my crew had alot of fun and we are ready for another one congrats to everyone that showed up these events are lots of fun

we need to have one at hartwell

Set it up and you may get a crowd. :popcorn

Looks as if I missed a good one. I sure thought BF would be in the 1.7 weight but I forgot OT was going to be there. Glad to see everyone who came out. We will have to get another trip up. Maybe a road trip to Fishing Creek or maybe Hartwell if engineman sets it up and give Directions. Glad you guys got some fish and had a good time. See you soon.:highfive Thanks to everyone!

My (newbie) crew and I had a great time and we all had a lot of fun! I thought one of em was gonna get the SC wildlife called on us for being so excited for catching a couple nice fish, his largest was 1.4 lbs. He had the dogs barking around us, he was hollering get the net,get the net so loud and jumping for joy when it was in the boat. To me this is what part fishing is all about, good friends, good times and catching a few good fish. Thanks to BigDawg for helping us to get to the ramp after making a wrong turn and winding up on a dead end road. Thanks to OT for letting us tag-along with his crew and showing us a place to fish, and a big thanks to all the SC fishermen for putting this on and your help and support to this NC crew. We are already looking forward to the next time!!! :biggrin

Dang Remus, you and me lay out sick and they bout clean out the lake. You better check your blue minner tank cause I think some sneaky skunk done stole our secret weapon.

Sounds like all had a great time, congrats to all that were able to fish.

Our club was meeting this morning at 6:30 so no way I could have made it last night but I still plan to come up and join y'all on a night all dates fall into place.

First of all let me thank Grady for taking dad and I out, we had a great time! The weather couldn't have been any nicer. And the crowd that showed up, you guys weren't half bad yourselves! Very kind of you all to help us get on fish on a lake I've never even seen before. Will have to do it again sometime.
