Santee 3/17

Hit the lake this morning with long line poles in hand. Decided to start where I left off last week. The conditions were perfect, no wind and partly cloudy skies. The bite was dramatically slower than last week, but the quality remained great. I caught around 45 fish on the day, with my limit consisting of 8 fish over two pounds, and a new personal best 3.28 pound monster. I again could of weighed 7 fish nearing the 17 pound mark. All fish were caught in the 7 to 11 foot ranges, trolling at .92 to 1.04 speed.

Glad they still biting. I'm still laid up with this crud. Maybe by next week I can get back on the water. Congrats on the new big fish.

I cannot believe how big crappies get down there, 3.28lbs is a hog, Congrats, ink, were you trolling jigs? What kind of jigs you usually use for long lining?

Congrats on the PB! It is a beautiful specimen and I am sure it is one that you will not forget. I got to come down there and pull some jigs one day.

Great day, I hope that pattern holds for a while we will be on the water Monday morning first light. If you see a blue and white 690 ranger with a kerr lake mud stripe say hi.

Wow! That's a monster!! Congrats on a heck of a day and thanks for sharing. U putting the big girl on the wall?

It would have to be record to be mounted. I've got numerous fish, and a couple of deer heads sitting in a closet and attic collecting dust. I think pictures are a better way to save and share a memory

That's a MONSTER Tim! Congratulations on your PB! And congrats on a very nice catch, to weigh 7 at 17 plus lbs!! Your work and time that you have put in is really paying off for you! Thanks for the report and pics.

Congratulations on the new PB!

Ink, that's a fine fish. I've been Crappie fishing 30+ years and never caught a 3 lbr. Congrats!

Trust me, I feel your pain. That's only my second and I've caught tens of thousands of crappie in my 35 years of fishing for them, and fish a lake the produces bunches of them each year.
