Hit the lake on Friday looking for a little crappie action. With rain and storms forecast, I stayed close to the ramp, and focused my efforts in water 12 foot and less. I found the fish biting even during the flooding rains that persisted most of my time on the water. Two to three inches rain fell, and a box of crappie fell victim to my offering of vertically presented blue and chartreuse jigs.

Great catch. Staying out in weather like we had, shows a lot of determination.
Have you ever went and not caught any fish?:Rofl Great looking box of fish Mr. Tim!:biggrin
I actually like days like that. I have a very nice rain suit so I didn’t get wet. No lighting close by, and winds were tolerable. The rains only kept the less determined, and pleasure boaters at bay.

Another great catch Tim.:) Congrats.
U DA MAN!!! Congrats Tim!!!!
Congratulations Bro, Glad you could catch some more of those nice crappies. I find it more calming, fishing in the rain. I haven't fished Santee much for crappie but am planning on it soon. Thanks for sharing !!
After attending a wedding party on Saturday midday, we got back home around 2:00. I loaded up the boat, and headed to the lake. Started fishing at 3:30. A couple of hours later me and a limit was heading home. Best color was green on chartreuse.

I'm still jealous! :Rofl
What kind of rain suit do you have Tim? How old is it and how's it holding up? Thx.
I have the Bass Pro Shops, Pro Qualifier Bibs, and Parka (sold separately) They are made of Gortex. I've had these for 7 years now I believe. They are just as sound now as the day I bought them. I where mine in the winter time even when not raining as they don't allow wind in either. The parka is better than getting the jacket, as it is longer which allows more rain to run off off you. If this is something that interest you, and you wish to save money. Wait until next year and purchase during the spring sale event in April. These two pieces are currently 219.00 each. You will save over 100.00 dollars during the spring sales event. I know this is a lot of money for a rain suit, but I will attest if you fish in the rain or cold it's worth every penny.

No fishing this time, but she loved the area and wants to go back.
