Post Hurricane Hammers

I’ve been trying to take a few days vacation over the last three weeks. I had to cancel the first time due to staffing shortfalls. The following week I canceled due to the hurricane moving through the Carolinas. It must of been an omen, as I was finally able to get off this week and was blessed with some truly great fishing. I was able to get on Santee 4 of the 5 days I was off. I was able to get on big fish, and bunches of them. All fish caught vertically jigging brush in 12 to 23 feet of water. Color didn’t matter as I caught fish off of every color that I tied on. Three of the 4 days found mostly black crappie biting, the last day it was a white crappie bite. The weather, though quite warm, was pleasant with light winds.

Wylie is a fine lake as well. Lots of hard work and determination goes into being successful. Being skilled and confident at a certain technique, knowing your lake and the fishes patterns, having many choice spots, spending untold number of hours on the water, and loving every minute of it. This can be reproduced by any individual on any lake.

Great looking catch. Thank you for posting

Good job stayin on em all week!! Nice catch[emoji106]

I'm not talking to you!:Rofl:biggrin:popcorn

I couldn't agree more. The beauty, the wild life, the serenity, I love it, and am thankful for those that exposed me to Santee Cooper country at such a young age, and to those whom taught me how to fish her waters.

I am glad you post about what you do down there because there isn't anyone else who could give us the great reports. I appreciate every post you do. I am not really jealous. :banghead I'm just picking at you because no one else does. If you didn't fish you would be a crazy person and I'd be bored to death waiting on a report to trickle in. Just keep up the good fishing and I'll be happy and a smart butt from time to time.:highfive You are right it is all good fun!:twocents

I know it’s in fun, that’s what makes it all good. Too many folks take things too seriously, It’s just fishing. No one on here is asked, or is it expected to reveal exact locations, just to post results with pics. I don’t post all my trips, but far more are successful than not. For me, I just want folks to know that crappie can be caught year round. You just have to be in the know, relentless, and refuse failure as an answer. Some days, a limit can be had in short order, other days it takes a while to convince a nice mess of fish to bite. So many variables are involved, but with age comes knowledge. You just gotta work through you audibles until success achieved.

Great catch!! Its good to see those big slabs in the box, congrats!~

Nice catches Tim. Congrats. What's the early morning water temps at now?

They are at 80, down from 83 a week ago.
