Thread: Lake Murray has been good this month.

I have returned to lake Murray after 20 years or so and one of the places my Dad brought me when I was a kid. Been here since the first of March now. The quality of fish here great. Caught a lot of 2 pound fish and a couple of huge slabs. Released 95% but kept a few for lunch and supper. I have been spider riggin and long lining with the better catch come from way behind the boat. Fishing 25 to 35 for pulling 32th and 16th jigs. Dark colors worked best today was cloudy. Water is 54 degrees. I am pushing double hooks with minnows out front with 2 ounce lead at .8 to 1 mph. Don't know how to post pics from a phone and US Cellular don't work well here.

Good report from Murray, I haven't fished there since my college days at USC. I need to head down that way.

Well I had to laugh because I live in Lexington and I've been driving up to Wylie to fish. Maybe we need to trade houses.

great report, sounds like my fishing here except I'm just long lining, depth temp etc.. The same. Lived in sc about eight years and never fished there. Always fished wateree for crappie

Good report and nice Murray report. Sounds like you have been having a good time fishing, hope you can get the picture posting figured out. Thanks for posting the report.

I had heard Murray has been producing well, congrats on the catch.

Tried to post pic.

Herewego,
I believe I talked to you one morning on Lake Murray in Buffalo(I think), I was longlining in a Red Ranger 692 Fisherman with Yamaha. Nice to talk to you and good catch.

That was me. Nice meeting you and wish you could have stayed longer. I went in there yesterday morning to the creek and Cove on the left at the mouth of Buffalo. My brother came down from Spartanburg this morning and we had a blast. All slabs.
We are headed to Monticello in the morning to give it a try.
