April box shots

From a sporadic early spring to a awesome April. The vertical jig bite on Santee trees, grass, lilies, logs, and brush has been phenomenal. All fish caught one poling while alone, and with some select guests. Box loads on nearly every trip. My favorite time to fish due the variety of depths, locations, type of structure that are all producing great catches on select days.

Wow!! You ought to be getting a pretty good stack in the freezer by now. My wife has told me many times: Alright Already with the Fish!!! We don't need any more for a while.
Looks like it's time for a community fish fry now. Thanks for sharing your bounty with the rest of us.

Nice fish, they are just now getting on shallow brush here, in 12 to 15 feet of water, killed them last week.

Great job Ink. I'll be at Henry's in Stumphole Wednesday thru Saturday or Sunday. If I can pry my buddy away from the Shellcrackers I might run over to Jack's Creek.
You fishing any specific days this week? Has Jack's improved? You told me a while back it had not been too good so far.

Nice!! I believe you have down. Congrats!!

Things are better, but new windows of opportunity have presented themselves. Many spots, means staying away from the crowds. You know me, I’m always making new fish habitat. Trying some artificial ones on a test basis!

Very impressive coolers Tim :cheers2 I love to see new cover going into the lakes and I think you will like the PVC piles. I have many of them I have placed and still fish them yearly and the fish uses them, some year around.

Very good times and cooler pictures and I always enjoy your post. Thanks for the report and pictures. I'm still jealous :Rofl :cheers2

That is great news Stump, I will be making many more if they prove successful.

We are headed down that way this weekend. Targeting cats mostly, but I plan on trying to aggravate a crappie or two while we are down there.

Very nice fish and attractors!!
But, I must say the title of the post was misleading.
Am I the only one who expected some pics of April walking away??.... [emoji23]

What part of the lake are you fishing? We are at Stumphole.

I failed to mention that I am (finally I may add) on the day shift now. It only took 38 years of service to get there. I’m a Monday through Friday guy now Ray. If you remember “the” dock, along with the areas from that dock to the landing close to where your staying that we fished. They are all holding nice fish right now. Afternoons are best, but I would fish them once early, then let them rest and fish them again in the afternoon.

Nice coolers of fish Tim! You did have a good April. I was hoping to start some fishing this week but Dr still has me in the boot( broke ankle ) for another month. It's hard to walk in it. Thanks for the report Tim and I hope your new condos hold fish let us know.

Ray good luck on your fishing trip! Hope y'all catch a load of fish.

We are staying at Rocks Pond. Probably gonna stay in the upper lake. I'm not too familiar with the lower lake.

What's in the bottom of the jug for weight? Those look simple to make.
