The Return of JIGGS!

My good friend Jiggs has had some health issues of late, and we decided that what he needed was the best medicine I know....time out on the water!

We've had a lot of rain in this area, and I knew Clark's Hill would be stained in the upper end where I usually fish. We did a little looking and tried a couple of different creeks. The air temp started in the 30's and barely made it to 50°. The water temps ranged from 46 to 48°. While the fishing was never fast, it was steady, and we were rewarded with some excellent quality fish, including a pair of back to back two pounders!

Dark colors worked best in the stained water, and we were blessed to put together a nice box of fish. Afterwards, we both agreed that we needed another dose of this medicine real soon!

Nice fish! Glad you all got out on the water!

Jiggs even let me get in on the fun! If you enjoyed this thread, be sure to wish Jiggs a Happy 80th Birthday on Feb 15. I know he'll appreciate it!Attachment 330630Attachment 330631

Glad you were able to get him out on the water and put some fish in the boat. Have you heard of anything happening in the sc little river

Sinkermaker, a friend drove across Little River today, and he declared it totally "blowed out"...his term for being muddy enough to plow and plant corn! Doubtful it'll improve much with as many as 8 days of rain in the forecast! :banghead

Looks like you had a enjoyable trip. Thanks for sharing it with us

I was in SC Little River this weekend, before the rain and it was pretty nasty muddy from just below the 378 bridge on up. Buffalo Creek was much warmer than anywhere else I went but I never marked anything in there. There was a concentration of boats in there and I never saw them get anything as I was easing past them. Soap Creek looked much better and I marked a good bit more in there. They bit very early then shut down for me.

Congrats ! Them some gooderns !

congrats to you & my ole buddy, Jiggs! Love this time of year! And in case I forget tomorrow....Happy Birthday, Jiggs!!!!

Like a blast from the past seeing you two together on the lake. Congratulations on the trip and the very nice crappie. Time on the water can do amazing things to improve the body :)

Congratulations ! Now repeat therapy as needed to keep the yuk away. Good to see you both back out doing what you do best. And welcome back to another stranger. I see burdawg posting again. Like old times.

Thanks for sharing your day of mental and physical therapy with the rest of us and a happy birthday to Mr. Jiggs.

Thanks for all the good words from you good folks. Plan to get out on water each week if I can. With all the rain coming it may be a day or two.
