Bagged two limits

Santee has fished tough for the most part this year. I did manage to fish two different areas of the lake to catch a couple or nice messes this weekend. Single pole jigged on Friday, long lined on Saturday. Water temps are 65 plus, and the fish are in different stages depending on what area you are in. Friday most fish were males, with a spattering of spawned out females. Saturday was a mix of males and females busting with eggs. Though the pics don't show it, I found a few white fish willing to bite on Saturday as well. The weather looks pretty poor for all this week which should allow for a lot of egg laying as the winds and storms should keep the fishermen at bay. Be safe out there if you brave the elements.

Two beautiful boxes of fish Tim. Those males are awsome. Thanks for sharing

Great two days of fishing and beautiful cooler shots. You are the man! Glad you went and posted about what we are still waiting for up here. With the Crappie USA guys catching a lot of fish this weekend should tell us something is about to happen soon. I know it will hit when I'm working and I will have to sacrifice some sleep time to get me a few. Good Job! :fish

Very Nice!!

Is that a new cooler?? Either that or you cleaned it. That other cooler got a workout!

Im slowly replacing my quartet of old coolers with new ones. These are old ones but cleaned for a change. lol

Looking good, nice fish

I love seeing your cooler shots !!! To me they represent the results of a lot of hard work to get the results that you get and enjoy. Way to go !

Thanks for the report! That's some great catching. Gets me really wanting to get back out there tryin.

Coolers! First time I fished with Tim my puny fish cooler that I normally use wouldn't hold 20 of those crappie. He had to follow me to the cabin to offload the catch.
Interesting temperature difference too,water here at Okeechobee was 81 today.
Nice job Tim.

Way to go Tim! Congratulations! Those are some nice looking fish, was the lake crowded? Thanks for the pics and report.

Not bad on Friday, but of coarse the winds were blowing 20 knots. A different story on Saturday, the lake was jumping with fishermen and pleasure boaters with these nice temps we've been experiencing all winter/spring long
