Feb 22/23 Oconee

I almost didn't post because I didn't take any pics and I know it ain't fact without pics. LOL
Anyway we fished Thursday and Friday. Had to cull short fish this trip, almost a limit Thursday 52, and limit Fri 60 by 3pm. Thursday was a nice day with lots of folks in creek fishing, Friday started out at daylight with fog so thick, I could not see but a few feet on the river side so just idle along til we got to Richland side and it opened up where we could see and it looked like a train of boats going to same hole, (pattern was full). Fish were biting good on the bank or very shallow water but the size has dropped big time. Caught 24 by 8am but half were keepers (10 plus). Just like most times, I got them cleaned and given away to widows (golden girls), seniors and disabled at church and my community by Sunday night. We did keep enough for me and wife to have 2 meals. Now we have to go back and catch some more hopefully 15-17th, 11yr old grandson out of school and he needs to help Nana in back of boat.

Go get'em, be safe lots of traffic on the pond.

PS Pulled 1/16th single jiffy jigs 1 to 1.3 mph, best colors Acid Rain, John Deere, Popsicle, Bubble Gum

Thanks for the report.

We are going to be at Oconee March 11th-17th, staying at Old Salem. We have wore them out the last 2 years during this time frame.
Last year...

Dutch, that new moon will be building at the time you will be there. Next wave should be moving to very shallow water. Weather is cooled off a little and some rain first half of week but nothing unusual for spring fishing. I've watched some of your videos, really enjoy them. Hope to meet you on water, good luck.

Thanks for the report and the (Golden Girls) reel need this. thanks
