Anybody know if anyone is catching any? Still pretty hot, but cooling down a little. Shouldn't be long. Wife is itching to go.

I have not had much luck on Wateree. Been skipping her and going straight to Murray. Limit out most days.Sent from my SM-G973U using Crappie.com Fishing mobile appQuote:

Been wanting to try Murray, but it is a pretty good haul for me from up in nc. Do many people on Murray troll or do most live bait. I like to troll with alabama rigs.
It's a mix. I will run down lines. Planer boards and troll with deep diving plugs with the hooks removed. Then run a leader behind the plug with a swimbait. That's my favorite way to fish them. Remember you will be fishing deep until they school up. Which will be soon.Sent from my SM-G973U using Crappie.com Fishing mobile appQuote:

I keep getting my deep divers hung up in the tops of trees. That's why I remove the hooks and run a leader. Just break the leader off. At $25 to $40 a pop for deep divers. It adds up fast. Plus Murray stripers seem to like the pearl white swimbaits.Sent from my SM-G973U using Crappie.com Fishing mobile appQuote:
