A Couple Of More Outstanding Days
The brush bite remains really good on Lake Marion, (Santee) this past Thursday and Friday. I was supposed to play golf Thursday, but with the rain chances what they were my playing partners bailed on me. Not to let a little rain stand in my way, I got up early and to the lake I went. The conditions were nearly perfect on Thursday, and the fish were eating it up in front of the impending weather system. I limited out in short order and arrived back home before any rain came down. On Friday Tommy and I got an early start, but were really disappointed at how the day begin. A strong line of storms came thru overnight and apparently shut the fish down. It took us a while to figure how to catch them, but figure it out we did. The fish were holding right on the bottom and had a bad case of lockjaw. The live bait had to be dropped all the way down, raised up a little and kept motionless before the fish would decide to eat it. On Thursday, fish catches were about 50/50 Rooty Tooty jigs VS. minnows. On Friday, it was 95/5 in favor of the live bait. On Thursday most fish catches were made on deep brush, with white crappie to black crappie being 50/50 in the creel. Friday was a mostly black crappie day, with brush in the 12 to 15 foot range being best. We had to dodge a couple of rain showers along the way, but were thankful for the unoccupied boat houses that gave us refuge since we both left our rain suits in the truck.
