Wateree again today

Today, a coworker fished with me as the wife is on meds for her back and didnt want her getting beat up in the boat all day. We set out to identify and fish as much structure as possible from 15-25'. Water temps 69 in upper part of the lake and 70-71 in the lower part towards the dam. Structure around 20' by drop offs was the best. Fished near the bottom most of the time and red hook outfished normal hooks for crappie 5 to 2. All but one were between 11-13" very quality fish. We found alot of new places, not alot of crappie on each or they werent biting. Caught 1-2 then would move on. Some very nice slabs today. Pics to follow in a minute

Went back to wateree today as i still had bait left over that I just had to use, good excuse to be able to fish two days, so I slept I and had breakfast, got on the lake at 1030 and left at 4. I fished an area with heavy timber in 18-22 ft. A lot of quality crappie but have to get the bait right on them to bite. We would get some fish and pick up anchors and
move 15 ft and immediately get more bites, took the day to fish to fish this area. Caught 7 total and 6 I brought home. Caught two the size in the pic. Same area we caught the 13" yesterday

Nice catch today Tim. This weekend I will show you how to spider rig and that will make it a lot easier to do. Dropping and pulling an anchor is for the young men.

Don, I need to stay local this weekend as I am on call, no one has been called in except once. Will probably need to fish wateree this holiday weekend. You want to meet up there and fish?

Don, we can meet at the boat ramp right at this address, you cant miss it. 2030 Baron Dekalb Rd, Camden, SC 29020, I am thinking we can meet at 0700 Frday morning. Not sure if will have the new electronics installed by then. We can fish from my boat if you like. I just don't have enough longer crappie rods so you will need to bring some. If you don't mind using 6'6'-7' rods I have plenty.

Wish I could. Have to work and Momma has me cleaning yard Saturday too. Then most likely have to finish painting the utility building. I'll be glad when that is done.:pray
