We got hammered up here in nc last night by some pretty rough storms with lots of rain. Checking today, but I figure the lakes up here are going to be mud holes. Did ya'll get hammered down there as well? If anyone passes over or fishes Wateree today, how doe it look? Trying to decide if I need to head north or south tomorrow.
Thanks.
I left out a 5 gallon bucket to get rinsed and it had about an inch. That's not the same as a rain gauge of course but it rained hard for a while. The runoff will probably mud things up...as to when I'm not sure. Wateree may be far enough down to be ok for a day or two.
I'll ask my aunt tonight when she gets off work, she lives on main lake up above the State Park.
She's home now - said it's just slightly muddy. If upstream got a lot of rain it could well be pretty muddy tomorrow.
Thanks. Really wanted stripers, but may be a catfish day.
Actually if the sides of the bucket are parallel up to to the top it is an accurate gauge. The bigger the gauge the more accurate as long as it is not tapered.Quote:

Stayed close. Went to tillery catfishing. Caught several to keep in the 6 to 8 lb range and released this nice 35 lber.
Bio did you do any good with the stripers?
