Put in a 7am, water temp 77 degrees. Found a few fish on brush, but weren't stacked like normal. No fish on the banks. Haven't checked the main channel lately. Didn't check bridges either. Anyway, not a fish was caught today[emoji17] loaded up around 12:30. Water temp 80.6.

Tough day, brush should be kicking in high gear moving forward.
Sorry for the bad day but that is fishing
Ive had same problem, no crappie on brush and none at same spots i was catching them at will a year ago. I fished elsewhere with scottymoe and caught 10-12 on bush and structure. As far as wateree, im wondering if fish are stacked up the lake, water clarity has been great which is why i think they should be on structure and no stained water in the southern half of the lake.
I was reading about post spawn fishing, bottom line:
fish in recovery mode, not biting
Mostly suspended near mouths of creeks
Longlining is best way to find them
Even then, bite might be slow

The bait has been there too. Time will tell if that holds true this year too. BTW, that is longlining and mostly during early morning as once it gets hot (and the bait moved to the bottom) I'm outa there!;)
I caught a limit of fish on 5/11 and a limit yesterday fishing the lower end of the lake (Beaver Creek and down). Brush in 11-14ft was the most productive. Most of the brush I marked the past few week wasn't productive. I rode over about 20-30 piles before I marked 2 or 3 with fish on them. Friday most fish were 1 1/4lb fish but yesterday morning we caught some really nice fish. We had 2 or 3 that went 2lbs.

Yes, Wateree.
Wow! I must not be doing something right LOL I don't usually fish past colonel creek, but it looks as if I need to start fishing up there more. Cause there sure aint any fish in the lower lake. Il try them again next week, hopefully get a better turnout.
I fished Wateree Saturday as well. Pulled jigs for about an hour and never got a bite. Changed over to stripers for a while and lost one nice one that we hooked in the side as he swiped at the alabama rig. Crappie were hiding from us. Did talk to someone as we were loading that had 20 so they were biting somewhere.
We must have talked to the same guys, cwright. They said they were catching them under docks, in Beaver Creek. They had a few nice ones. Im gonna try them Wednesday and Thursday. I aint scared of no rain LOL Ive been looking for the stripers myself, None in the boat YET!!!
We had one on probably 12 lbs. had him hooked in the side so gave a heck of a fight. Got to the boat and made a deep dive and pulled off. Found them on a small flat in about 25 foot of water pulling probably 18 to 20 foot deep with alabama rigs.
