Crappie still biting, 8-19

Went out to lake wateree and was out on the water by 630, started off slow and only had 4 in the live well and a couple throw backs after two spots. The third spot gave me 6 keepers and a few throwbacks due to size. Left them biting as i caught them while i was reeling up lines, but sweat was blinding me and decided the leave and was loaded up by 930. There is fish to be caught but the window is small. Largest was about pound and half, this was also the most smalls ive ever caught which is a great sign for the future. Probably the last fishing for me until i get back from mn at the end of september. Need to get scopes zeroed for deer hunting also.

Glad you got a mess before it got so hot you couldn't see. That is my problem the heat....fish were biting when I hung it up a month or so ago. I'm waiting for cooler weather myself. Will just have to eat a few messes I froze before quitting I guess.

Nice catch and report Tim. I agree that biting fish are available to those who can tolerate the heat. I'm a heat guy, much more so than the cold. The fishing has been good to very good my last few trips out on Santee.

Congrats Tim and hope you have safe travels. This heat is killer right now.

Glad you got out and caught a mess. To hot for me to

Congrats on a good mess of fish, glad you were able to hit the water. I'm also tired of this heat. I was asked to go deer hunting this past friday but it was just too hot. I'm on vacation this coming week and may ride to the club if temps come down at end of the week. Tim did you find a club? Thanks for sharing.

Good catch Tim. Enjoy your MN trip. Looking forward to a report and video from there.

no doubt late oct cant get here soon enough.

Good luck and have a safe trip Tim. I think a lot of us are ready for the weather change. Sometimes when working I feel like I'm still in the military working on the flight line sweating. October, I hope will be colder than the past ones. I don't want to feed the mosquitos while deer hunting!:Rofl:highfive

Thanks for the update tim, it's been too hot for me and Colin, we can't wait for cooler weather either. Good luck deer hunting this fall, we finally just got a fox that has been getting some of our chickens.

thank you edward, glad you got the fox, nothing better than fresh eggs.

Tim, hope you get a deer quick too! With the heat being what it is don't waste time getting it processed. Hate for it to spoil on you. Fishing should be really good in the cooler days to come. I told Everett that I'll try to fish more with him this coming October. He likes longlining and I like tight lining. We may be able to push pull, who knows! :Rofl Hope to see you this fall fish either up here or down there on Wateree!

Sounds good ron, i wont be deer hunting until november it looks like. Sitting in my chair in font of the garage now after packing up all my fishing stuff for mn, looks like i will be gone for two hurricanes now. My tackle boxes were horribly disorganized. We could definitely meet and fish wateree sometime in october when my parents are here in sc.
