Started out slow this morning jigging in Broadwater. Switched over to minnows and started tight lining around midday. We only had 3 keeper crappie till around 12:30. Bite picked up around 1:00 and we ended up with about 25 good crappie by 3:30. Just another beautiful day in the swamp.
sounds like a good day congrats on getting into a nice mess of fish !!!!:ThumbsUp and WELCOME to Crappie.com !!!
Welcome aboard and congrats on the catch and the day in the swamp.
OBRage, my son has been camping and fishing in Broadwater since Friday with three others. if you went up to the pper end you may have seen them. I couldn't go myself. I know yesterday that they had a few that went 13". Broadwater is my fishing hole when ever I can go. He lives in your area also.
The swamp was full of boats today, including the game wardens. Glad they were out doing their job. We saw several campsites with 6 to 10 boats in each one. And yes we went all the way to the back of Broadwater. We started back near Indigo flats and fished our way out through big otter. I'm sure we passed along the way
First welcome aboard! Second congratulations on a mess of fish! Glad you stuck with it. I'm not too far from you either. I'm between you and Mr. Cromer, by the airport.
Welcome aboard and I am glad you were able to hang in there and catch a few
welcome to crappie.com from Rockwell nc.
Hey guys, we need to get together for lunch one day soon and meet each other.
That sounds good to me. Nothing like eating and telling fish stories at the same time.
There were 4 in my sons party camping and fishing this week end. He said that he didn't see the game warden this trip. I did see two last year and they said that it was the first time that they had ever been in Broadwater. My son saw one, two years ago and had to show him how to get back to the river to get back to the landing. :-)
I'll chat more when he brings my boat back this afternoon late. He had to use it and also his to get all of the camping gear down there this time... I miss not going camping the past two years. We use to make those trips for 5 to 7 days, oh so much fun..
How does BBQ sound to you guys for lunch.. I'll see when Steve can go.
I'm in, let me know when. Actually got checked by GW in big otter.
Welcome aboard and glad to hear you found a mess of fish! Sounds like a fun trip!
Hey, can I come too? I fish Stumphole to Jack's Creek except when Mr. Cromer feels sorry for me and takes me to Broadwater,Quote:

I was hoping that you were the professional, but I think SeaRay would fit in that group... Guys, my best days to eat BBQ for me is on Tuesday and Thursday, as SeaRay knows, my wife is confined to bed and I have a lady that comes in on those day so that I can do the shopping and such. I think that they have the buffet on Thursday at Maurice's. How does that sound to everyone..
I can meet at Maurice's most anytime. Thursday is good for me if it works for everyone else.
You talking about tomorrow, the 12th? I am good, what time??
SeaRay
Tomorrow, Thursday the 12th is good for me too.......What do you say gcromer?....what time 12:00? anyone else interested?Quote:

I'll be there. You talking about the original one in West Columbia aren't you??
Ray
yea. How do we get intouch with Eatmorecrappie to see if he can make it.
He works for Fed Ex I think so he may not be on the board until tonight. Not sure with his schedule if he can make it, but hope he can.
I'd like to come and meet everyone, But there's just no telling what part of town I will be in @ noon
midcarolina, we'll be looking for you to make it if you can...
Ray not that company the other company, you know the brown company. lol Hey guys I wish I could because I would really like to meet everyone. I don't think they will let me off tomorrow because we are slammed right now. I didn't get off until 8:30 tonight.:banghead It's due to valentines day saturday, but I'm on vacation in 4 or 5 weeks maybe we can do it again. Thanks for the offer and y'all have a good time. P.S.If by chance I can get off I will be there.
Well if you can get away, stop by. Steve said that he has two computer jobs in the morning so if he doesn't get through, he'll miss out also. This one was put together real quick but next time we'll give everyone a longer notice.
Now that was an enjoyable lunch. Gerald, Steve, Ray, I really enjoyed meeting you all today. Thanks for the great stories and good advice. I look forward to hooking up on the water soon.
Wish I could have made it.......I had a boiler acting up at an assisted living facility that I needed to get straightened out before this cold front moves in.......
I had a great time as well. Made me go home and pull out my swamp maps. I don't see McGurt's (sp?) lake on any of them so y'all will have to point it out to me sometime.
Frankly I have enjoyed the camaraderie of meeting and making new friends as much as learning things about crappie fishing. Still got a lot to learn, but that is half the fun.

PS
Sorry about the mixup with FedEx Mark. After I posted that I was thinking maybe it was UPS. :hatchet: By the way Dooley's has their Crappie Night on Feb 26. Lots of fish to eat and drawings plus discounts on most everything.
That's no problem Ray. Glad y'all had a good time, hopefully I can make the next one. It was another 8:30 night tonight, man this is getting old. So Feb 26 that's a thursday night right? What time does it start? Thanks, Mark
I think it runs from 5 until 9 or so.
You know the old saying, "All fishermen are liars, but me and you" after eating all the BBQ that we could eat, I'm not so sure about these three... A good time was had by all today.
