Lake Wateree 6-10-17

Micorps was kind enough to invite my 6 year old son and I for a morning out on Lake Wateree. We met him at 6, and were on fish within 30 minutes. I got the skunk out of the boat with a good size catfish, and my son landed the first slab crappie shortly after that. The morning crappie bite was good on the south end of the lake until about 10 before the sun started to heat things up. Mid-morning we ran all the way up the lake to investigate and found a good catfish hole.

We were suspending minnows over brush piles 20-30 feet. The total for the day was 16 crappie, 2 cats, and a striper. After filleting and weighing we had 5.5 lbs of crappie, 1.5 lbs striper, and 3lbs of catfish.

HUGE thanks to micorps, he's a great guy who knows how to get on fish. For the sake of full disclosure I traded him 3lbs of ground grassfed beef from the upstate :)

Edward, i am glad i could help, i had a blast not having to run all rods and could focus more on boat control. Will let you know when im fishing alone and you can meet me. Hopefully you gained alot of knowledge for your next outing, i think i showed you enough spots you can anchor and fish without electronics in the meantime and catch some. Welcome to crappie.com. I must say the wife was very happy when she saw the beef you gave us. Thank you.

Glad you three were able to get out and fish. Tim can find fish and is an excellent fisherman. I am proud to call him a friend. Thanks for sharing

Yes, Colin and I gained a ton of knowledge and had a lot of fun, and my confidence level went up substantially. Those places you showed me will definitely keep enough fish in the freezer to keep MY wife happy so it sounds like we both scored points on that side of things.

Sounds like a great day on the water, Yet another example of the kindness shown on CDC

I am amazed by this forum, the friendliest fishing forum on the internet!

Congratulations on a good day! EdwardB I'm sure your son had a blast and will remember that day for a long time. Tim your a good man you did a good deed. Thanks for sharing.

Congratulations for you and your son. The joy on kids face is priceless. Tim just another example of the nice folks on this board. Take time to help each other.

Congrats. on the catch. Tim is a super guy and loves to show folks how it is done.

Congrats to everyone involved! The grass fed beef sounds great and a fair trade for some fine fishing!!
