SC little river today

Fished SC little river today and had a good day for crappie. I rode up the river searching for fish and finally found some. They were scattered in 20 to 30 ft of water. Caught around 30 with a lot of small fish. Waded through them and brought home 12 crappie and 1 6 lb striper. Had 2 others hung but they broke my line. Water temp was 53 when I got there and warmed up to 55. Pulled jigs on a 1/8 ounce jig head at .8 to 1.0 mph. Caught a lot of fish on the strike king shad delicious. No one color was best. Black blue chartreuse caught a lot of fish. Tipped some jigs with minnows and I think that caused me to loose a lot of fish because the minnows were to big. Don

Good job, thanks for the report.

Glad you had a good day Don. Did you meet up with your buddy I think his name is Jack, right? Was the lake crowded? Thinking about going tomorrow but it will be Murray can't decide to push or pull. Thanks for the report.

thanks for the report Don hope to get down there and fish with you before too long

Don, just wondering did they bite better early or later in the day? Thanks

Mark I did meet Jack and he had a good day to. My fish bit all day long. I was still getting bites when I left at 4 o'clock. He fished a different area than I did. If one finds fish then we call the other. That is why we take two boats.

That's a good idea Don, I like it. So now if I can get my buddy that fishes with me to buy his own boat! LOL! Oh wait the boat I have now he gave it to me! LOL!!:Rofl

Sounds like a good day of "catching". Congrats and thanks for the report.:)

Good report Don. Glad to hear you found the fish biting today as I know it is a long ride for you. When the crappie bite gets right you will enjoy fishing the Hill :) It's around an 75 mile trip for me to fish there also but I fished that part of the lake all my life and it never is a disappointing trip even when the fish are not biting to well. Just a great lake to spend some time on. Congrats on the catch and I enjoyed your report.

Way to go Don. A good day fishin I would say. Glad ya got em. It is gettin time to wear em out for sure.

Stump it takes me about the same time to get to Greenwood as it does to Clarke hill. Did you see my post on the crappie fest. It is the next week we are going to Mississippi. BIgtime will be there also with his grandson. My plan is to fish Murray during the week and other lakes on the weekend so all I got to do is start fishing Murray.

I did Don and have you back on the list.
I can get to Greenwood in an hour but it takes me around an hour and 30 to 45 minutes to get to the Hill. A lot of towns and slow speeds eat up the time but it is worth it!!!

I was there too. What kind of boat were you in?

Sorry for the late reply. I fish out of a blue and silver champion walleye boat with a Yamaha on it. My boat has my tight line rods sticking up at about a 15 degree angle. Only champion on the water I have seen. Don
