Pitiful !

It was a great evening on the water. Weather wise that is. We met up with the regular nutcase crowd and a few newbies for a Wylie Nitestalk. Water 46 and slightly dingy for Wylie. Bit of a breeze but not bad. Everyone went to Torrence Branch and setup. Anywhere from 35 to 40 fow .Bite was slow. I mean molasses on a cold morning slow. My brother in law was puttin on the show for everyone. He wiped out 50 to 60 white perch on his first nitestalk. Think I had maybe 10 for my showing. 2 throwback crappie. Chris did get a decent crappie for his effort. Rest of the boats were dead slow also. But thats the way it is sometimes. Big crappie was from The S.S. Uncle Remus boat. Him and Sea Ray had a crappie weighed at 1 .13 lb.They had about 25 or 30 perch also. S.S. Minnow and crew had a crappie at about 1 lb. Chris had his fish at 1 .12 lb. Not a great showing for crappie but a fun night on the water. ScoopeDude and Crappie Kidd kept their hopes up of maybe catchin something. But that is another tale. BiggDawwg and crew had slim pickings also. Cuttbait didnt have a blowout nite either. But it was good to see everyone and shoot the breeze with ya. CK Dont let this one trip turn ya against the dark side. I promise you that crappie will bite in the dark. Well sometime.

Great pictures! We should have had a perch jerk. I think my next adventure will be to the Dr. for knee replacement or just cut both legs off. It is getting tough on me. Maybe Remus can get me a handicap ramp built to board the SS Remus. :Rofl Hopefully next trip will produce. Thanks John and everyone for a good time.:fish

Maybe we can fabricate a crane aboard the SS minnow???????????? But I guess we will have to include a seat bet for you so that you can't fall down and bend up the rails?:Rofl

I was in Torrence that afternoon, saw 1 bait ball, no bites

I posted this on the other post but it deserves to be repeated.
Well I want to thank all of you that were there for my first nightstalk. Even though all I did was watch others catch fish I had a great time meeting you all. You all were a bunch of great people and fun to be with. For me I was the winner and came out the best from the fellowship from you. I was truly blessed and thanks for all also those I meet for the first time.

Nice one Mike

It was a fun outing even if the perch did crowd out the crappie. I think we had 6 crappie with Remus' being the biggest at 14". I was leading with a 12"(WOW!) but he beat me out. We threw back some perch before John said he knew somebody that wanted them, so we kept 34 I believe. I made it home by 1:30 and managed not to fall asleep in church this morning, but about to doze off typing this.
Enjoyed meeting CrappieKid, he joined Remus and me at Pier 51 for a pre-fish dinner.
By the way, guys, some of you were asking about buying minnows near the landing. There is what appears to be a new BP station just down Mt. Gallant toward the interstate that sells minnows. The open at 5:30 am M-S and 6:30 on Sunday. They are at 3900 Mt Gallant, just across from the Pier 51 Restaurant. They also have non ethanol gas and claim to be the lowest price on it around Rock Hill.
Thanks for putting this on and inviting me, always a fun time.

Had a wonderful time talking with all of you hope next time we can find some fish

Thanks for the report and pics. Hard nights with a slow bite makes you enjoy the fast catching nights.

had a great time yall!!! good to meet new crappie . com members and finally catching a couple crappie Jumping Jacks Icon looking forward to next time.
enjoyed fishing with you Ray you are welcome on the ussuncleremus1 or 2 anytime you can make it up this way.

I'm wondering if those that caught fish had their Sonars on or off. Mine was on I usually turn it off after I find a spot to anchor then I'll flip it on a couple times over the night to see what's under the boat.
I was thinking I should have thrown the cast net and I'd have beaten all you guys.
Nobody would notice they'd just think it was Remus falling in the water again. :-)

Mine was on. Some nights I leave it on some I don't. Have heard it makes a difference. I ain't sure.

I have heard it does but I'm with you I don't know. I have caught fish with it on I never cut it off.:dono

I'm not sure fish are that smart........ they do after all try and eat a plastic plug with shinny hooks flailing about......... I think it's more likely all animals get some what desensitized to common ocuring sounds in and around their enviroment...........

now Grady!!!!! I had the rails up sense bigdawgg was not there to break um down
and Ray had a rope around my neck to pull me in so he could save my cell phone
what would a man do without friends like that to help him out while he's fishin? :Rofl I feel blessed :biggrin

You guys weren't holding your mouths right
