A few days on Santee

Haven't posted much of late, in reality, haven't been fishing a whole lot. Between work, home remodel, disabled outboard, finding time to fish has been difficult. After working 10 straight days, I took a couple off this week to get a little crappie fishing in. As has been the case all year at Santee, the fishing is kinda tough, but a good mess can be had if you have the time and determination to figure the pattern of the day out. The fish seem to never be in the same place on back to back days. Seems one day the fish are shallow, the next deep. One day up in the water column, the next on the bottom. One day minnows are the bait of choice, the next jigs dominate the catch.

Nice catch for those 3 days Ink. Thanks for sharing

thanks for sharing your pics and story Ink
its always good to get a break from work but
its better when you get to go fishing while your
off and better still when you catch some fish
good job my friend

Glad you got out for a few days Tim. Last time out for me it was so hot I parked mine til it cools off.

Ware them out for me! I have almost forgotten what a crappie looks like. :Rofl You certainly have got the talent and the lake to go to my friend. Keep up with them and give us crappie poor folks a smile will you! Great pictures Ink! :ThumbsUp

Nice looking fish. Makes all that work worthwhile when you remember the fishing that came after it.

Three nice coolers of crappie, congrats Tim on the catch and for just being able to get back on the lake in your boat! Have not seen Tommy post in a while is everything good with him.

Tommy has retired from work. He's still fishing, but I don't see or here from him as I once did.

Good job ID. Hopefully you'll get your chores around home done before the fall.
