Slow so far, but there are a few,Attachment 116814
Congrats...I'll have to wait until next week to make it out there.
Have you tried the flats at swordes landing?????????????????????
I figured it would be like chocolate milk up there and I had a couple of places I wanted to try up the Richland arm. The water was really good and we marked a lot of fish, but the bites were hard to come by. A lot of trash was starting to move down, so by tomorrow it will be harder to fish. Surprisingly good water color today though. Attachment 116856
What kind of water temps are you seeing?
49.6 to 50.4.
are there any fish up at swords
Good report, good fishing, and good to see someone who ain't scared of a little rain in the area.
Did you try it up at double branches?
Haven't been to double branches this year.
Nice fish, thanks for the report!
I wouldn't be very happy about not catching many at Oconee but the looks of the slab you are holding makes me really miss being there ..One slab on Oconee can make a whole day cause they know how to pose and by the way I would do it again and again..Great Pic:ThumbsUp
Your right Quick, Oconee crappie know how to pose. I call them the supermodels of the Crappie World. LOL. Wes
You r absolutely right the way I figure it is they are not happy when you catch them but because they know that they look so good they can't help but smile when the get their picture taken :biggrin and that fish really looks good!
Them Oconee Crappie look so good, they make my old spray painted hunting cooler look like one of those fancy 400 dollar Yeti coolers. Now that is some good looking fish.
lol
I agree I just love fishing Oconee.
Fishin on Oconee just hasnt been the same the last several years. Wonder sometimes about if it may get over fished on the crappie. Dont want to hear someone say its impossible cause if it can hapen in the oceans it can happen at a lake.
Glad its not just me and about five other friends that thinks the same thing.Quote:

Fished the 18th thru the 20th and graphed fish around there and they were still in 35-40 FOW down on that end... Caught a few and i mean just a few up Richland in 20-23 FOW. Mainly on that monday.
When i was younger we fished every weekend and i mean EVERY weekend during all phases of the spawn and it wasnt out of the question to catch well over 300 sometimes close to 400 in a weekend and we actually wrote down our numbers and i swear its fallen off the past several years BIG time.. I dunnoQuote:
