Crappie Updates Lake Wateree & Fishing Creek

Any updates out there concerning both Lake Wateree & Fishing Creek on the Crappie Bite ?

Caught a dozen or so fishing ledges on Monday at Lake Wateree and the fish were holding in 40 FOW but slow to bite.

Thanks for an info.

Sounds like you were fishing the pattern to catch the bigger females. It will probably be slow until they start schooling on brush or start going into the coves. I would anticipate next month they will start back up again. Last weekend they werent in the coves or shallow brush despite clear skies, water was still 43-44 degrees.

I'd stick with Wateree, I fished Fishing Creek last Friday and Saturday, and never got a bite.... But it could be because I don't know what I'm doing too!!

Yes they were big females and most of them had shad in their stomachs and eggs were go size already

Yes I probably will. Was just wandering if anyone else was having any luck in any other areas of the lakes.
Good Luck !

No luck from colonel creek to the lower dam. This weather has them all messed up. Caught 2 all weekend, off of one of my brush piles. Tight lining. Didn't get a bite throwing jigs to the bank either. hopefully it will get better in the next few weeks.
Water temp was 59-60 degrees.

Went and fished Mar 12 & Mar 16 with no good results. Hopefully this weather will break soon and the fishing will get better

Cooler water temps at 52 degrees Saturday did not produce any crappie in the creeks where I was catching them. I am thinking they moved out towards the channel. I ultimately got forced off due to wind before I could tightline and test that theory by fishing some structure near the channel.

Must be them same on most lakes. Sat.On Wylie. I caught 3 while longlining. Over 18-20 fow. Caught one on crank bait. Plenty of green carp and slimers in there. Water temp was 52-54 where I was. Gonna be better soon.

Thankfully I have been slimer free this yr soo far............................................... .

Water temp warmed up a little this afternoon. Still not one fish all day [emoji17]Attachment 296560

I was there today, the fish didn't bite good today! I was catfishing...

took perch fox and his dad today caught 56 big perch and a few crappie
before wind blew us about 10 miles past Great Falls
=threw crappie back = they still trying to get back to Wateree

I was finishing up the break in of my motor on Murray today. Didn't fish except to throw a jig into brush a couple of times. The water in the creeks was in the 60s to my surprise. It was all 50s a few days ago .I actually hit one area way up in Clouds Creek that was 65. That's why i stopped to fish some brush in the water but no takers. The few guys i spoke with had maybe 1 or 2. O-Rex (Jeff) stopped by to say hello. He and his buddy had 3 or 4 and he was headed to Clouds Creek as i was leaving. Apparently this weather has them scattered because I'm seeing some reports of double limits so thet are hanging around somewhere

I mainly fished the lower lake, gonna try the upper lake or go to santee in the morning. Can't make up mind lol
