I fished every piece of brush there is.Found out ya'll have caught every crappie in Wateree.Did have a lot of fun catching Stripers on my crappie jigs and minnow.Ended up keeping a 26", two 22" and four smaller Stripers along with some Perch and catfish.Also had a 15+lb. striper pop the lines at the boat with my finger in his mouth and I drop him back in the water:mad:.I will report if I ever catch a crappie.:pray
Sounds like a fun time regardless. Do you fillet the cats or skin them whole? I never use to keep them because I did not want the hassle of skinning them, then I saw a guy fillet and skin some 3 to 5 pound ones like you do a bass or crappie. Guess I never thought about trying that until I saw him do it. Sure speeds up the process.
I'm guessing you prolly don't want to hear the results from the CAPP tournament at wateree this weekend...
I like to just keep the 1-2 pound cats and skin them whole.These I did cut off the bone after I skint them. SeaRay check your PM.
Catching is always fun. Looks like it was.:highfive
Thanks for the report and pictures.
thanks for the report.
No prolly don't want too know.Have only fished Wateree a hand full of times.But my father just bought a place up there. So if I don't catch a crappie soon. I may just have to follow you...Quote:

You might want to check in a couple of the creeks singleton, wateree creek to name a few @ 18' of water. It'll change soon and the fish will be on the main lake on riverbanks (there's some there now) but they seem to be scattered with the better quailty fish @ bait in the creeks. Good Luck.

That sounds like a pretty good trip in my book.The striper that's facing away from the boat,,is that the one that got away??Double digit stripers in wateree are very hard to come by,( or I should say for me anyway). Thanks for sharing the report and pictures..keep em coming,I've been "arm chair" fisherman lately ,,so I sure enjoy reading the post and pictures of others trips.
At least you was catching. Congrats.
