Lake Wateree 2/8/17

Well I tried to see if I could catch a few of the infamous Wateree crappie and a few is all I caught, lol, of which 2 i lost at the boat. Water temp was 52-53 when I got on the lake at 10 and close to 56 when I left. I would like to personally thank micorp for the help in locating an area to start in as I have never been on the lake, definetly going to go back and long line this lake when the time is right. No pics because, well, I only had one in the box, and I have a big box in my boat so you probably couldn't have seen him anyways, lol.

Better luck next time

Like my today, one in the boat one near the boat
Keep trying

Sorry you could not do better but that is fishing. Thanks for sharing

Sorry the fish weren't cooperating. Hopefully we will get out weekend after next.

Stay after them, never a wasted trip when you are learning the lake. Good luck on fishing Wateree.

Well dang, saturday will be my first time to Wateree as well if i go there instead of Santee. Thats the way im leaning right now. Plus, its a 1/2 hour closer drive for me. I plan to tight line minnows and will likely start at the mouth of wateree creek depending on what i find on electronics. Hopefully you will find them next time!

They had had a lot of rain the night before I went, so the fish were tight to structure I believe. Don't let my outing deter you, they can be caught just find the right place and feel the livewell.

Well that's good to know. Looks like that lake keeps a lot of color after the rains.
