Y'all did very good. We fished the lower end(Monday) where we caught our fish last Friday but they had moved. Drifted cut bait for cats most of the time. We caught 8 blues about mid lake. All the perch(about 30) were small. Used cut bait, minnows & spoons.
Looks like we should have been using the sliders you are talking about.
Never been to Monticello but I'd like to try it. I might just have to pull up anchor and go next week! Can I get my pontoon in there or is it best to use a smaller boat? :popcorn
there is a good ramp down there Ron iv got a few friends that take pontoons there with no problem getting in or out
let me know if you get a trip lined up and if at all possible ill go with you. its a pretty long haul down there

This is the address for the ramp I’m using. Close to where I’m fishing. Only been burning about 1 gallon of gas. Don’t get any better than that.
that's the landing at upper end of lake == am I right.
not the one on hwy 215
Yes, it’s the furthest from the power plant.
I need to try that lake some time...
CountryBoy, it’s know as a catfish lake, but I’ve never tried. I’m pretty good at catching bait😜. Caught a lot of perch today and 20 largemouth. Had a 7 pound 14 ounce and a 6 pound 11 ounce. Had a good day.
Yep , some good fishing there on Monticello. Haven’t been there in over a year. Some nice bass you caught. Have heard that the next SC record cat would probably be caught on that lake

Amazingly Monticello has a thriving Smallmouth population. With the water warmed by the nuclear plant I thought it was to warm for them. I was going today but the cold plus high winds kept me in the house.
Don and Remus let me know when you are coming and if I can I'll join you. A pontoon is fine, both ramps will handle easily. I know a little about the lake. It is the 1st lake that I caught white perch.
I won a silent auction bid for a 3 night stay at a nice vacation home on the sub impoundment. Unfortunately the weather was terrible the dates we chose so we looked out the windows a lot. I got restless and went looking for the town of Blair. Ain't no such, just a few abandoned stores on a dead end road. Looked like a trip back to the 50s. Bit spooky too!Quote:

How is the water down there ? I'm on vacation and I'm going fishing somewhere ! Any pointer for the lake on the crappie ?
I went there once a loooong time ago there was a post office that had (if I remember right)a cracker and pepsi machine a middle age woman running the post office and an old gentleman that told us about the big flood way back when. if you look behind the store there is a rail road trestle about 100 ft. down the river bank that crosses river == he said the flood washed out the trestle and water was right up to the buildings == that would be a heck of a pile of water. now you`ve had your history lesson lets get back to fishin :HandsClappingQuote:

Deep and clear, had some local say the Crappie Fishing is not what it use to be. I’ve been fishing deep so I haven’t found any promising crappie brush. The amount of bait boggles my mind.
Looks like I need to move.
