Hit Santee on Friday for the first time in three weeks. I had planned on striper fishing early, then do a little long line trolling afterwards. The striper were not cooperating, so I headed to a creek to try the crappie. Many boats were in areas that I wanted to try so I went to plan B. I broke out the jig pole and headed to a Cyprus grove located in shallow water. I focused on trees in the 2 to3 foot range. Third tree fished, I had that big thump I was looking for. I rolled a big ol black buck crappie on top only to have him get off. Next tree, same result. I was definitely out of practice as it showed. Things got better after that as I boated 31 fish in a row without losing one. Tally for the day was 45 crappie caught, along with a dozen trash fish. Big fish was a hen topping the scale at 2.68 lbs. with a very nice limit getting the ride home.
