There were two big tournaments on Saturday, 175 boat bass tourney and a Crappie USA event. Along with crappie, striper and shell crackers are beginning their spawning runs. The influx of locals and tournament fishermen explains the increase of boat traffic. Jigging grass mats is a great technique, only issue is there is very little grass left. Santee Cooper has been trying to remove invasive species of vegetation. While doing so, they’ve killed all the grass.
